BeamFlex
Per-packet adaptive antenna selects the best antenna
pattern(s) for each client
ü  Improves SNR, range, and capacity
ü  Patented and unique to Ruckus
ü  Works at the same time as spatial multiplexing and TxBF
ü  9 dB of signal gain and 15 dB of signal rejection
ü  Works with all clients, stationary or in motion
ü  Ruckus also supports standards-based TxBF
✗  Proprietary form of implicit TxBF
✗  Sacrifices spatial streams to use TxBF
✗  Does not work with mobile clients
✗  Implicit TxBF does not work well (especially without
client calibration)
✗  Real-world tests show no benefit
ClientLink
✗  Relies on client support for calibration and feedback,
but few clients support it
✗  Max theoretical gain is 3-5 dB
✗  Sacrifices spatial streams to use TxBF
✗  Static polarization can’t adapt to client changes
Standards-based TxBF
Radio Arrays
✗  With up to 16 radios, co-located radios cause
significant self-interference
✗  Antennas are static—fixed patterns
✗  Clients circling the array roam across IAPs
✗  Advertised directional gain, but omni coverage in real
surveys

ChannelFly
Ø  Active capacity prediction based on accurate performance
metrics
Ø  Accounts for both Wi-Fi and non-Wi-Fi interference and noise
Ø  Adapts to find the best operating channels
Ø  Predictive modeling is accurate to within 10% of extensive,
live throughput testing
Ø  Fast initial learning, excellent long-term stability
Ø  Utilizes all channels across the band
§  Spends very little time off-channel observing
channel conditions
§  Relies on off-channel scans to evaluate
channel goodness
§  Abandons associated users to perform off-
channel scans
§  Uses passive Wi-Fi-only performance metrics
with little validity for real-world performance

Ø  No configuration necessary for optimized performance
Ø  Combined throughput and signal-quality performance

Ø  Best-in-class rate-at-range performance enables
network extension without wires
Ø  AP-to-AP connections are built on BeamFlex adaptive
signal steering, which improves signal margin and
enhances simultaneous mesh and client support

Hotspot 2.0
(Wi-Fi Alliance Passpoint) Ø  Active participation in all industry trials held by Wi-Fi
Alliance and WBA
Ø  Clear leader in early testing for feature maturity and
support in Hotspot 2.0 Release 1 & 2
Ø  Broad product portfolio for indoor & outdoor as well
as enterprise & carrier solutions
Ø  Passpoint is a network access enabler…Ruckus is
building solutions to add value to customers
§  Less investment in Hotspot 2.0 support and
innovation
§  Most enterprise competitors see less value in
a feature promoted by service providers
§  Most carrier competitors do not see the major
opportunity for enterprises to take advantage
of the technology and build solutions around
it

Power & 802.3af PoE Mode
Full operation requires either PoE+ (802.3at), DC power, or 20W+ PoE Injector
To support powering by standard PoE (802.3af), R710 features an “802.3af operating mode” which reduces
functionality to keep power consumption below the standard PoE (802.3af) limit
802.3af Operating Mode Feature:
q  Auto-detects the AP’s power source (default)
q  Offers over-ride option e.g. force 802.3af mode
q  Reduces 2.4 GHz max transmit power to 19dBm/chain (US only!)
q  Disables USB port
q  Disables Ethernet 1 port (note: Link Aggregation is not supported
in 802.3af Mode)
q  No caveats or limitations on 5 GHz 802.11ac !!

Multiple access points observe
clients and use information such as:
o  Signal strength
o  Path loss
o  Round trip time (RTT) of
packets
o  RF Fingerprinting
This information is sent directly
to a processing system that
determines client coordinates.
Implementations vary greatly
from vendor to vendor.
