We narrowed it down to three vendors. We had HP come in, Aruba come in, and Xirrus come in. I was kind of amazed when Xirrus came in -- when looking at coverage, ease of configuration, and especially the customer service, Xirrus just shinned above the other vendors, they really did." Steven continued by saying, "[Xirrus] required half the switch ports...half the cabling runs. It's rare that you will find someone that's willing to go the extra mile. That's going to give you a guarantee. It's truly amazing." Learn valuable lessons from others deploying Wi-Fi at http://www.xirrus.com/customerdeployments.
