LAS VEGAS -- Xirrus, Inc., creator of the next-generation Wireless LAN Array, and AirMagnet, the leader in wireless LAN security and performance solutions, today announced that they will integrate AirMagnet's award-winning AirMagnet(TM) Enterprise software into Xirrus' WLAN Array -- a revolutionary architecture combining a WLAN switch with up to 16 Integrated Access Points in a single device. This will create enterprise Wi-Fi solutions with industry-leading capacity, coverage and security, and set new standards for simplicity and cost-performance. The companies will also cross-promote each other's solutions.

The integration of AirMagnet Enterprise software allows the WLAN Array to provide full-time RF intrusion detection while also delivering over 800Mbps of RF bandwidth to client devices. This will give enterprise customers best-of-class capacity and security in a single device. When enabled, AirMagnet's Enterprise software will utilize a dedicated Integrated Access Point in the WLAN Array to detect rogue access points and over 130 security threats.

"The integration of AirMagnet's award winning technology in the WLAN Array further simplifies Wi-Fi networks allowing enterprise customers to realize performance and efficiency gains without compromising security," says Xirrus' CEO Dirk Gates. "With industry-best capacity, coverage, security and return-on-investment, the WLAN Array featuring AirMagnet technology represents the most powerful and compelling value proposition for end users and resellers alike."

"Businesses are progressing to full-blown WLAN deployments with more users and increasingly demanding applications," said Dean Au, president and CEO of AirMagnet. "Security continues to be a primary focus, and now administrators are also challenged to deliver much more capacity while keeping the network secure. Using the Xirrus WLAN Array for full-time Wi-Fi monitoring as well as Gigabit-class capacity and extending the coverage area meets key enterprise requirements, and delivering this in a single device dramatically lowers cost."
