Xirrus' Wi-Fi Array products are a self-contained architecture with an integrated controller that allows it to be easily deployed, operated, and maintained. The full solution allows deployment of secure, high-capacity, wireless access without the need of pulling and certifying costly Protected Data System (PDS) conduit and cable used by the Department of Defense for securing Ethernet.
"Xirrus, along with our partner MCS, is proud to be part of a solution that provides new wireless technology to the USMC," said Kurt Sauter, Executive Director of the Federal Business Team at Xirrus. "The ease of deployment, performance, security, and simplicity of our wireless products are an effective solution for anyone looking to extend an existing secure wired Ethernet infrastructure."
The scope of the project is to cover 19 MARFORPAC (US Marine Forces Pacific) installations. Xirrus products can be seen in detail at a series of Federal Seminars offered across the country at the following dates and locations:
