BeamFlex RF Beam Steering • Radio Frequency energy has similar characteristics to light energy • If you take an unfocused light bulb of a given power, it spreads it energy in all directions and the energy quickly diminishes over distance • If you focus the same light bulbs energy in a particular direction, the light will be brighter travel further in the direction of focus • Traditional omni-directional AP antenna work like an unfocused light bulb • The Beamflex antenna focuses the RF energy as a beam towards the receiver Unfocused energy doesn’t travel far… Focused energy is more direct, dense and travels further
