XR-6000

Introducing the Xirrus XR-6000 Series


The Xirrus XR-6000 Series 16-slot chassis is the industry’s only multi-state radio platform supporting multiple configurations with post-installation upgrade options. The Xirrus XR-6000 Series combines unmatched flexibility in wireless standards with the ability to scale a network to meet increasing capacity demands without adding additional devices.
 

At A Glance

  • Configurable with 8, 12 or 16 multi-state radios (2.4GHz and 5GHz)
  • Supports 300Mbps or 450Mbps
  • Supports up to 1536 users
  • Field upgradable to more radios or new technologies

NSP Architecture for Amazing Performance

The architecture of the Xirrus XR-6000 Series is based upon a Network Services Processor (NSP) that delivers uncompromised performance to all associated users. The design allows for hardware based encryption, compression, acceleration, as well as reliable quality of service with uptimes and availability optimized for 802.11n performance and scalability.

Unmatched Upgradability

The Xirrus XR-6000 radio upgradable wireless platform allows a network to scale by adding up to eight radios to each Array. Radios can be purchased in either 300Mbps or 450Mbps versions, and every radio is capable of operating at 2.4GHz and 5GHz. The modular platform ensures support for new wireless technologies and is the first 802.11ac/11ad-ready product available.

The Xirrus XR-6000 Series Wireless Array allows a business to incrementally grow a network, expanding capacity to increase the number of supported devices available over time as the demands on the network grow. The modular architecture and multi-band radios protect the investment with the ability to adapt to future standards and capacity requirements.

Ready for the Future

Both the Xirrus XR-6000 Series 16-slot chassis and smaller capacity Xirrus XR-4000 Series 8-slot chassis disrupt the status quo with the ability to scale coverage, bandwidth and capacity without adding additional access points to the network to accommodate growth.

Upgradable

Adapt to changes in business requirements with the ability to upgrade across Xirrus XR-6000 Arrays. Deliver a solution with a true 5 year life cycle that can incorporate new technologies as they come to market without starting over.

Scalable

Maintain a high level performance for mission-critical applications and support the ability to handle unpredictable device growth throughout your Wi-Fi network. Scale the number of users by adding radios and scale capacity by increasing the network traffic throughput.

Secure

Eliminate potential gaps in security infrastructure with the Xirrus XR-6000 series integrated firewall, threat sensor and spectrum analyzer providing comprehensive security without the need for additional equipment.

Economical

Deploy 75% less equipment than competitive solutions and reduce the effort to manage and maintain your Wi-Fi network. Realize savings with the Xirrus XR-6000 Series multi-radio design and directional antennas that minimizes the number of devices needed to be deployed resulting in savings in equipment, cables, switch ports, installation time, maintenance and power consumption.
