Norwalk, CT – July 13, 2011 – TMC (News - Alert) and Crossfire Media today announced that Xirrus, the only Wi-Fi Power Player in the industry, has signed on as a gold sponsor of the 4GWE Wireless Evolution Conference and Expo, taking place September 13-15 in the Austin Convention Center. 

Xirrus manufactures the Wi-Fi Array, which integrates up to 16 access points with high-gain directional antennas into a single device along with an onboard multi-gigabit switch, Wi-Fi controller, firewall, dedicated Wi-Fi threat sensor, and an embedded spectrum analyzer.  The Xirrus Wi-Fi Array requires 75 percent fewer devices, cabling, switch ports, power, space, and installation time than any other offering, while providing enough bandwidth, security, and control to replace switched Ethernet to the desktop as a primary network connection. 

“We’ve partnered with Xirrus for several events, not only featuring company executives in our conference, but also working together to deliver Wi-Fi services to all of the conference attendees visiting 4GWE and ITEXPO,” said Crossfire Media’s Carl Ford (News - Alert). “The Xirrus platform we use provides ample bandwidth and wide reach for hundreds of users spread out throughout the convention center, and it also supports streaming wireless video, which is essential for our events. We have a great partnership with Xirrus and we’re looking forward to working together once again in Austin.”     

“4GWE assembles a community of people that are deeply concerned with how wireless traffic moves from end user devices to the backbone as efficiently as possible, and we always look forward to showing this audience how our solutions can address their needs,” said Lorna Pierno, director of Marketing Programs at Xirrus.   

Registration for 4GWE and ITEXPO is now open. Sponsorship, branding and advertising opportunities are also available, and interested parties should contact Matthew Gleeson at 203.852.6800 ext. 145. Members of the media can reserve media credentials by contacting Todd Keefe at For Immediate Release PR.
