Tim Chavis, Director of Information Technology for Lawrence Tech, explains the University's decision to choose Xirrus Wi-Fi Arrays in a recent interview, "Since we are Lawrence Technological University, the administration here wanted the latest in technology...having the 'abgn' capability was a big selling point! The other part of it had to do with the number of access points we'd have to install...overall [with Xirrus] we have about one fourth the access points with a full implementation than we would have had with the other vendors."

Tim further explains the limitless capabilities Xirrus offers by stating, "We used to have a lot of professors that wouldn't use the [Wi-Fi] technology because they couldn't depend on it working in the classroom with the density of students; that's not an issue anymore with Xirrus."
