Xirrus Moves Into New Headquarters

Sept. 9, 2008 - PRLog -- Xirrus, Inc., the Wi-Fi "Power-Play" that delivers the most coverage, bandwidth, and throughput in the industry on a per device or system basis, announced today it has relocated its corporate headquarters to the previous Xircom headquarters at 2101 Corporate Center Drive, Thousand Oaks, California 91320. The move was necessitated by significant growth in all areas of the company.

“Xirrus has hit that ‘sweet spot’ in our development as a company that all entrepreneurs dream of and live for,” said Dirk Gates, CEO and Founder of both Xirrus and Xircom. “We have a product that delivers far more coverage, bandwidth, and throughput on a per device or system basis than anything else available in the industry today. We are experiencing rapid growth in line with our vision of replacing switched Ethernet to the desktop with Wi-Fi as the primary enterprise network connection,” added Gates.

Major milestones:

•   Shipped 100,000+ 802.11abg Integrated Access Points
•   Shipped 5,000+ 802.11abg+n Integrated Access Points in the last three months
•   Backlog of 10,000+ 802.11abg+n Integrated Access Points currently being managed
•   Established “direct” operations in major cities in United States and Canada
•   Established “channel” operations in Europe, Middle East, Africa, Latin America, and Oceana
•   Over 75% of installations to date eliminated additional wired switching purchases

“We have executed a unique and new go-to-market strategy at Xirrus that shuns the outdated methods used by so many others,” said Alan Amrod, Xirrus Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “What makes us unique is that…

1.   All of our customer facing personnel are engineers that are trained to a level of Wi-Fi Expert;
2.   All of our interactions involve “real” product so we never use slide-ware;
3.   We enlist our customers to be our greatest evangelists instead of paying industry analysts;
4.   We produce rich technical content that anyone can use to become knowledgeable about Wi-Fi and never charge for it;
5.   We provide a fundamental requirement for successful Wi-Fi deployments – active site surveys – to customers at no charge;
6.   We back-up every customer engagement with a 100% satisfaction guarantee – all but extinct in the technology world with the exception of Xirrus.”
