Xirrus

Multi-radio outdoor arrays — fourteen years of public access wireless across the urban core, from a 2007 demonstration to the downtown build.

Product lines and other names: XR-4800, XE-4000, XMS-Cloud

Left to right is time. Each row is one of the 6 disciplines Xirrus carried, ordered so kindred disciplines sit next to each other rather than alphabetically — a landscape only means anything if neighboring rows belong together. Height is the work running in that domain in that year, weighted by what failure would have cost — life-safety ×3, a statutory obligation ×2.2, the estate itself ×1.5, an evaluation ×1. Every project declares which of those it was, so each ridge traces to an entry you can open and disagree with. Only the work that named this manufacturer is counted, so this is the shape of what it carried rather than of the record around it. Height and color are on the record-wide scale rather than this page’s own, so a modest estate draws a modest landscape and any two of these pages can be read against each other.

XS-3700 demonstration arrays in 2007, then XR-500, XR-4800, XR-4836, XR-6000 and XR-6836 indoor arrays with XE-4000 outdoor arrays for Hemming Park, the Landing, the Riverwalk and downtown intersections, managed on XMS-Cloud. A 2017 bake-off against Cisco evaluated the WLC 5508 as the alternative.

High-density outdoor is a different problem from enterprise wireless: the load arrives all at once, outdoors, on somebody else’s structure, and there is no second chance at the event.

Where it appears

Declared on each entry rather than listed here, so this page cannot drift from the work it describes. What each entry named is quoted as it stands, with how much of that project rested on it and what stands behind the claim beside it. The first of those drives the height of the surface above.
