That’s not a Frisbee in his hand. Jon Freeman (right), area vice president of sales and marketing for Xirrus, is explaining the performance advantages of its Wi-Fi Array. The company donated the wireless networking technology – which sells for $6,000 – to PCC for its wireless networking program for degree seeking students.
