According to their website, Xirrus can achieve 800+ Mbps of bandwidth and handle 1000+ users. Finally enough bandwidth for us all to cut the cord?"

  1. cut the cord? by joNDoty · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I'll never be able to cut the cord as long as latency for wireless is so high.

  2. I love the math they did to come up with this... by Samurai+Cat! · · Score: 5, Insightful

    "Priced at $12,000, the XS-3900 is a relatively affordable solution for locations that require high-density networks. With all functions in a single device, administrators could see significant cost savings for deployment because multiple power and Ethernet outlets are not needed."

    So the savings on 11 ethernet jacks and power sockets are worth a $12,000 price tag? :/
