Austin, TX - March 13th, 2012

Alpha Omega Wireless, Inc., headquartered in Austin Texas, was hired for the second year in a row by SXSW to provide wireless Ethernet backhaul and outdoor Wi-Fi to multiple venues around Austin for the 26th Annual SXSW Film, Interactive, and Music Festival.

President Joe Wargo says, "We were excited to be asked by SXSW to return to help them provide critical bandwidth to their major venues and some outdoor Wi-Fi at select special events. SXSW really goes out of their way to make the entire SXSW Festival an amazing event for all who attend. Over the years they have seen a huge increase in demand for internet bandwidth by its participants. Most everyone is carrying an IP enabled wireless device. SXSW just couldn't rely on the carriers to provide the bandwidth that's being demanded.

We were able to deploy carrier grade, full duplex, point to point microwave links to several large venues allowing SXSW to provide bandwidth where they needed it most. For this project we used a combination of high capacity radio systems like SAF 24GHz Lumina radios and 70GHz Siklu radios. The advantage of these wireless frequency platforms was to help avoid interference. Plus they could be deployed immediately under FCC regulations.

This year we also expanded multiple point to multipoint wireless backhaul to concert venues and outdoor event locations. Other major accomplishments this year was providing high speed Wi-Fi, to some high profile, outdoor party events and outdoor meeting events. For the outdoor Wi-Fi applications we used Xirrus Wi-Fi array systems in order to handle the high density of Wi-Fi users and devices.

Austin, TX - March 16th, 2011

Alpha Omega Wireless, Inc. ("AO Wireless") installed a 150Mbps wireless Ethernet Bridge at SXSW that allowed NPR to broadcast world wide a live concert event at the famous Stubb's outdoor venue. The concert event featured bands like, James Blake and the legendary Duran Duran.

President Joe Wargo says, "We were asked just hours before the show to install a wireless backhaul from SXSW's wireless network, which we installed around Austin for the music feastival, to the famous Stubb's venue. Within hours NPR was to braodcast a live stream of the concert on the internet. Appearently, all the major carriers servicing Austin couldn't deliver even with weeks notice. We were able to install a 150Mbps point to point wireless Ethernet bridge within two hours.

Everyone at the event was blown away with the speed of the install and mostly the speed of the uplink we provided. With minutes to spare the wireless backhaul link was handed off to NPR. We felt like we were a NASCAR pit crew more than a wireless integrator.

It was amazing to be able to watch the live event from home later that night. The video and sound was flawless. We were proud to see the fruits of our labor and to see NPR's event turn out so great. "

AO Wireless will become a Gold Level Partner with a high level of commitment to the partnership. Xirrus Gold Level Partners have in-depth Wi-Fi knowledge, market expertise, and the ability to provide full customer support. 

President Joe Wargo says, "We are excited to expand our offerings in the indoor wireless network solutions by partnering with Xirrus. We have a long history of providing effective and reliable wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) networks. Xirrus is an industry leader in the Wi-Fi market space and is by far the most innovative. We have evaluated all the major Wi-Fi systems in the market today and believe Xirrus is far ahead of the curve in technology and quality. Many of the major Wi-Fi players offer the same thing, only with just a few unique proprietary differences. None of them are doing anything revolutionary. Xirrus has revolutionized the Wi-Fi industry and has future proofed their platform. After spending time at their facility it is apparent they have an amazing product. One that I would be proud to say it’s the only solution I would consider for my own network.

Xirrus has figured out how to deal with the high density use of Wi-Fi we are experiencing. As we move forward we are seeing more and more mobile devices being used in the network environment. Laptops, smart phones, tablets, VoIP phones, etc. Years past it was all about coverage with Wi-Fi. Now it’s all about density coverage. Other standard controller based systems can create good coverage in an environment with a few client devices, but when you have high density usage they fall short on performance. Xirrus has solved that issue and by far outperforms ever other system out there.”
