Xirrus Creates EasyPass to Solve Wi-Fi Access Challenges
Wireless network provider Xirrus unveiled EasyPass, a suite of services that manage mobile device connections to Wi-Fi networks in the simplest way with minimal IT involvement. EasyPass streamlines device onboarding for employees and guests and requires up to five fewer steps than before. The cloud hosted Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) provides IT complete control over the Wi-Fi network from a single console and provides the only device-agnostic solution on the market that eliminates all platform dependencies.

This exceptional growth of traffic has already not only severely stressed Wi-Fi networks, but also the IT administrators who face the growing challenge of supporting, securing and managing the proliferation of these devices in their businesses.
EasyPass delivers the simplest, fastest onboarding process available in the market to manage any number, or type, of device on the Wi-Fi network. Unlike other access solutions in the industry that are complex and require dedicated resources to manage, Xirrus EasyPass:
