WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif., Aug. 7, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Xirrus, Inc., the provider of the most powerful Wi-Fi solutions for enterprise and campus environments and winner of 'Best Startup' at Networld+Interop 2005, today announced their Wireless LAN Array was named a VARBusiness Best Midmarket Product of the Year by CMP Media's VARBusiness magazine.
The biweekly magazine that provides strategic insight to technology integrators solicited input from information-technology (IT) vendors and solution providers to determine which products and services were best for midmarket customers -- companies with between 100 and 999 employees. Entries were considered and reviewed by VARBusiness editors who selected only 45 of the more than 350 nominated products.
Xirrus' Wireless LAN Array is featured and profiled in the special August 7 VARBusiness "Best of the Midmarket" issue.
"Our readers tell us that the middle market is one of the fastest-growing IT categories today," says VARBusiness Publisher Robert C. DeMarzo. "Xirrus' Wireless LAN Array is one that best meets that segment's needs."
"This recognition is particularly gratifying because it positions Xirrus as a leader in providing the most powerful Wi-Fi solutions and recognizes the innovative nature of our Wireless LAN product," said Xirrus' Founder and CEO Dirk Gates.
