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 selling these equipments since 2006. It provided the wireless network coverage for the Interop trade conference in Las Vegas in May 2007, despite being a relative newcomer. For Interop, 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.
History
Xirrus was founded in 2004 by Dirk Gates, Patrick Parker, and Steve DeGennaro. Gates founded Xircom in 1988 and sold the company to Intel "for total consideration" of US $517 million in March 2001. In 2003, Gates established Xirrus together with Patrick Parker, then ex-Chief Executive Officer of Nomadix and Steve DeGennaro, then ex-Chief Financial Officer of Calix.
