Xirrus, Inc is a Wi-Fi technology company based in Thousand Oaks, California, US, that designs and sells wireless networking equipment based on the IEEE standards 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n and 802.11ac. The company has been independently selling these products since 2005.
Xirrus currently manufactures multiple radio Wi-Fi Arrays that combine a WLAN switch and APs into a single device. Each Array unit bundles the controller with 4, 8, 12, 16 or 24 access points, and a special sectored directional antenna, into a single package. The company also produces a low-cost two-radio access point with omnidirectional antennas.
Xirrus provides wireless infrastructure for general enterprise, education, public venues, healthcare, retail, government, hospitality, and manufacturing. As of 2013 Xirrus has over 4000 customers, with products and services sold internationally.
In 2010 Xirrus was ranked number 9 in Wall Street Journal's Next Big Thing list of the Top 50 Venture-Backed companies and jumped to the number 2 spot on the same list in 2011. Xirrus again occupied the number 2 spot on the list in 2012.
Xirrus was founded in 2004 by Dirk Gates, Patrick Parker, and Steve DeGennaro.
The company began marketing the Wi-Fi Array products in early 2005. In 2005 Xirrus sold Wireless Arrays that met the 802.11a/b/g network standard.
In late 2008 Xirrus presented a new access point module that meets 802.11n standards, and provides up to 300Mbit/s data rate per radio. The cryptographic module Xirrus's 802.11a/b/g-compliant "Wi-Fi Arrays" received Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-2 validation in 2008.
