Xirrus’ Rapid Deployment Wi-Fi Network Deployed By Advance Concepts
3/6/07 – Westlake Village-based Xirrus, the provider of high-performance, long-range wi-fi products, announced today that Advance Concepts has deployed Xirrus Wi-Fi Arrays at several conferences, providing what Xirrus calls a completely self-contained, rapid deployment wi-fi network; allowing attendees to download presentations, support materials and take notes in real-time to enhance their conference experience.
“When Complete Conference Management came to us with the idea of offering the attending doctors the ability to download presentations as they became ready in the speaker ready room, we knew a high performance wi-fi network was the way to go,” said Phil Joseph, president of Advance Concepts. “We went with Xirrus because their solution was quick and easy, bullet proof and easy to set up, allowing up to 400 doctors to download 4MB files quickly and with minimal hand holding.”
“The Wi-Fi Array continues to perform flawlessly at each of Advance Concepts’ events including a recent conference at the Westin Diplomat in Hollywood Florida where each Wi-Fi Array handled more than 200 users who downloaded more than 20,000 files over the six day event,” said John DiGiovanni, director of marketing for Xirrus. “With an average file size of 1MB that translated into a huge amount of traffic highlighting the scalability and resiliency of the Array.”
Advance Concepts delivers audio and visual support enabling a wide range of presentation capabilities. By using the latest in wi-fi technology, Advance Concepts allows its customers to deliver their presentations in new and innovative ways. The overall goal of the Xirrus Wi-Fi network is to improve the experience of conference attendees, whether it is for 10 or 10,000 people, and enable new applications such as video to be used as commonplace as a slide deck.
