Automated Systems Design (ASD ) Joins the Xirrus Partner Program to Offer the Industry's Highest Performing WiFi Solutions

ALPHARETTA, GA, May 31, 2013 (Press-News.org) Automated Systems Design (ASD ), which offers leading manufacturing, management and maintenance of nationwide custom turnkey information transport systems, has become a Silver Xirrus Alliance Network Partner. Xirrus solutions optimize Wi-Fi networks to manage the explosive growth of mobile devices and support "bring your own device" (BYOD) policies.

"With the speed at which technology is advancing, organizations need to take advantage of technologies that are designed with the next generation of standards in mind, such as Xirrus' array-based wireless networks. By installing technology that will be relevant far into the future, wireless networks can be upgraded instead of ripped out and replaced," said Bob Eskew, CEO of ASD .

ASD specializes in designing, building, and maintaining wireless networks, as well as voice over internet protocol (VoIP) phone systems, security/access control systems, sound masking and paging, audio visual/digital signage, and point of sale systems. ASD is also a manufacturer and direct seller of high-performance iCAT-ITS copper and iGLO-ITS fiber optic cabling and products. Now, as a Xirrus Silver Partner, ASD is able to provide wireless networks with eight times more bandwidth and capacity per device versus comparable solutions. The solution also operates using 75 percent less equipment than traditional wireless networks.

Xirrus provides predictable application performance under heavy load through a broad range of wireless solutions—from a 2 radio AP up to a 16 radio Array—to match the requirements of low to ultra-high density use cases. Everything needed for a secure, high performance wireless local area network (LAN) is built into each Xirrus wireless product. This integrated architecture provides faster installation through zero touch provisioning, full network management capabilities, and reduces total cost of ownership.

Xirrus also offers the Xirrus Management System—Cloud (XMS-C), a cloud-based wireless network management platform that provides full monitoring and management of the Xirrus wireless Array network via a cloud-hosted web-based interface with graphical map views. XMS-C scales from small to large networks and from one location to multiple locations, as well as large campus environments with thousands of wireless users. Because the Xirrus Management System—Cloud is hosted in the cloud and operationally maintained by Xirrus, XMS-C feature updates, XMS-C performance improvements, and firmware upgrades to wireless Arrays that are all handled by Xirrus without the need for IT staff scheduling or intervention.
