Overview When we set out to design our wireless solutions, we saw little point in developing yet another offering that looked like everything else on the market. Wi-Fi technology continues to rapidly evolve and its usage explode, whether at work, at home, at play, or on the road. To provide Wi-Fi solutions that deliver a great user experience, no matter how or where it is being used, we developed something different. Something better.

Xirrus solutions deliver: • Flexible Control – Powerful, easy-to-use Cloud or On-premise management options • Easy Access – Simple and secure access that eliminates the complexity of Wi-Fi connections • Superior Scalability – From 2 to 8 radio solutions to reduce equipment needs and lower costs • Solid Reliability – Integrated application intelligence to ensure consistent user experience • Future-proof Adaptability – Software-defined and modular radios adapt to changing needs

over time • Distributed Intelligence – Controller integrated in every AP for superior performance and

survivability This Xirrus Benefits Analysis provides a comparison between Wi-Fi solutions from Xirrus and comparable competitive alternatives. The analysis considers the product models and quantities for the Xirrus and another vendor, then calculates and compares the total system costs, wireless capacity, and environmental impact of the solutions. This report provides the details of the analysis, including the inputs provided and the output results.

Analysis Summary This analysis highlights the benefits of a Xirrus solution and estimates the total system costs and wireless capacity of a Xirrus and Ruckus solution. Based on the configuration of 2 Xirrus APs and 2 Ruckus APs, the Xirrus solution will save up to ($4,983) over the 5 year analysis period.
