Wireless Array
12 Introduction
position relative to the Array. Radios may be assigned to 2.4 GHz and/or
5.0 GHz bands in any desired pattern.
 Partial pattern coverage
If desired, the Wireless Array can be deployed close to an exterior wall. In
this case, half of all available radios have been deactivated to prevent
redundant signals from “bleeding” beyond the site’s perimeter wall. This
configuration may also be used in those cases where you want to restrict
wireless coverage to selected areas of the building’s interior.
Power over Gigabit Ethernet (PoGE)
The Xirrus-supplied XP1, XP2, and XP8 Power over Gigabit Ethernet modules
provide power to your Arrays over the same Cat 5e or Cat 6 cable used for data,
eliminating the need to run power cables and provide an AC power outlet in
proximity to each unit. Managed modules provide the ability to control power
using XMS.

Specific models of the Array are compatible with specific PoGE modules.
