Xirrus, Inc is a Wi-Fi technology company based in Westlake Village, California that designs and sells wireless networking equipment based on the IEEE standards 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g. The company has been independently selling these products since 2005. In 2006 it began an OEM agreement with ADC Telecommunications which distributes them under the Digivance WFX brand.
Xirrus provided the wireless network coverage for the Interop trade conferences at New York in 2006 and at Las Vegas in May 2007, despite being a relative newcomer. For Interop 2007, Xirrus installed 12 wireless arrays which could support up to 4,000 concurrent users, although the network was not secure and a vendor demonstrated that all client traffic could be redirected to a single laptop computer.
