  6. Introducing: Ruckus ZoneFlex Effortless everything Plug ‘n’ play, mesh capable, easy to install/expand 5 minute wizard-based installation Advanced security, simplified Best Wi-Fi on the planet WLAN-wide optimum signal path selection WLAN-wide interference avoidance WLAN-wide automatic RF coordination Unmatched price/value Unprecedented CAPEX savings Lowest OPEX Breakthrough feature/functionality Simple-to-Use, Smart WLANs

  7. 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

  8. Twice The Coverage With Better WIFI Ruckus AP Top-Tier Enterprise AP 200 ft 200 ft Upper Floor 125 ft 125 ft AP AP 200 ft 200 ft Lower Floor 125 ft 125 ft AP upstairs AP upstairs 20-22 Mbps 15-20 Mbps 10-15 Mbps 5-10 Mbps AP on upper floor Source: Ruckus Customer Test Location: Commercial high rise building in Canada

  9. Fewer APs : Extended coverage, Higher bandwidth, For all the users AUTOMATICALLY! BeamFlex in action • BeamFlex antenna directs signals towards clients Metal Wall ZoneFlex AP • Automatically adapts to moving client • Automatically rejects interference • Steers signal around obstacles

  10. SmartMesh in action Mesh AP 100 Mbps 150 Mbps 150 Mbps Root AP ZoneDirector 802.11g 300 Mbps 802.11g 802.11n • Mesh APs constantly publish the bandwidth available to the Root AP • Each AP chooses the best route (in bandwidth) to the root AP • BeamFlex manages the best signal path to the next AP and the clients • If an AP is lost, the other APs automatically recalculate the best route to the root AP.

  11. Networking without cables ZoneFlex Mesh simplifies deployments and expansion of networks • Add capacity and coverage as needed • No new Ethernet cabling for APs • Auto topology with BeamFlex path selection algorithm • Self-organizing/self healing • BeamFlex automatically avoids neighbor radio interference • Automatic channel & power adjustment only as last resort • Secure encrypted wireless backhauls • 802.11g and 11n support Hotel

  12. Effortless Configuration Demo In 5 Minutes or Less

  13. Dynamically Provisioned Per User Security A First in Automatic, Robust, User Security Management LAN • New WLAN user/device registers over any LAN port • ZoneDirector requests a one time authentication • Once authenticated, ZoneDirector generates a unique PSK and configures the device • User/device can now associate with the designated SSID [Play Animation] • Automatic configuration of wireless and security settings on clients • Unique 63 byte key generated per device/end user • Keys centrally stored and managed by ZoneDirector, based on policies • Expired at preset time for guest access • Removed when an employee leaves the company • Refreshed periodically • Simple yet robust

  14. ZoneFlex Prospect Questions • 802.11b/g or 802.11n/b/g WLAN? • Building size/layout/construction (copy of the floor plans is useful)? • Physical & logical (VLAN’s etc.) layout of existing network? • Number of wireless users per area of the building? • Support only for data or for video and/or voice required? • Integration required with existing security infrastructure (Active Directory, Radius, 802.1x, Proxy, etc.)? • Will Ruckus Guest portal be used or external portal? • Competitive bid info?
