Shane Buckley, CEO at Xirrus comments: "Any organisation today needs to provide their customers with the best possible wireless experience. High-performance Wi-Fi allows them not only to meet consumer expectations, but presents monetisation opportunities through adding new value-added services to the wireless network. Westcon Group is recognised worldwide for its Networking and Security expertise and, with its complementary portfolio, is the distributor that we were seeking to push High-Performance Wireless Networks to the next level."
