THOUSAND OAKS, CA — (Marketwire) — 12/08/11 — ®, the leading provider of high-performance wireless networks, today announced its new (MSP) program designed to meet the growing demand for wireless services. Through product invention and system design, Xirrus has made it easier and more cost-efficient for MSPs to design, deploy, and manage wireless networks. Partners will deliver these services with confidence knowing that their wireless solutions are the most powerful, scalable, and trusted in the industry.
Wireless isn-t a “nice-to-have” anymore. Gartner projects that spending on enterprise WLAN equipment (including software) will rise from $2.5 billion in 2010 to $5.2 billion in 2015,(1) and they also project that by 2015, 80 percent of newly installed wireless networks will be obsolete because of a lack of proper planning.(2) MSPs can mitigate this emerging trend by deploying Xirrus- modular Wireless Array platform, Wi-Fi Designer, and Xirrus Management System (XMS), including cloud-based management services for remote configuration, troubleshooting, and policy management.
The new Xirrus MSP program supports partners that demonstrate expertise and success in deploying wireless networks in complex environments which are characterized today by the dramatic increase in mobile devices and application demands, delivery capabilities for BYOD strategies, wireless security, location services, live event services, emergency response, guest access, voice-over-Wi-Fi, and video streaming.
MSPs will gain expanded revenue and profit opportunities by offering a broad portfolio of value-added wireless services including:
Network architecture and capacity planning
Site survey services using Xirrus Wi-Fi Designer
Network implementation and deployment
Network configuration, provisioning and maintenance
Monitoring and reporting
Troubleshooting and analysis

We are committed to not only providing world-class products, but also marketing, sales, and ongoing technical support that helps MSPs sign new customers and keep them happy for years to come.”
“Free Wi-Fi has shot past complimentary breakfast and free parking as a traveler -must have- for most hotel types, according to a September 2010 J.D. Power and Associates survey of 53,000 travelers.
