Introducing Ruckus Wireless� About Ruckus Formed in June 2004
HQ in Sunnyvale, California with worldwide presence
250+ employees
� Business We make standards based Wi-Fi simple, reliable and fast
� Shipment >2 million Ruckus Wi-Fi systems deployed

1. Wi-Fi is undependable, signal strength erratic
2. Signals don’t reach, coverage is spotty
3. Wireless LAN systems are costly, cumbersome and complex
4. Performance is inconsistent
What’s the Problem(s)?
5
� Patented technology that combines� Smart antenna arrays� Best path selection algorithms� Advanced quality of service engine� Smart mesh RF routing� Centralized Wi-Fi management
� Adapts to real-time changes in environmental conditions
� Extends signal range (Wi-Fi coverage) 2 to 4 times with fewer APs
� Delivers predictable performance
� Radically simplifies deployment and administration

�� Spatial MultiplexingSpatial Multiplexing uses multiple antennas/radios to simultaneously transmit different data streams
� Significantly improves performance and also improves reach/reliability due to antenna diversity
�� 40Mhz Channel40Mhz Channel combines 2x 20Mhz channels
� By having a wider data carrier frequency available, performance can be improved by ~2x
�� Frame AggregationFrame Aggregation of data into ‘jumbo’ frames to improve efficiency
�� Block AcknowledgementBlock Acknowledgement of a group of packets rather than individual packets to reduce overhead
�� Variable Guard IntervalVariable Guard Interval reduces the Inter Packet Gap
� Improves performance by ~10%
802.11n ‘Speed’ Technologies

802.11n - The Promise
Spatial multiplexing, channel aggregation, block ack, frame aggregation , etc.

802.11n - The Reality
mbps
11n AP with omni antennas
Omni-directional antennas provide no control of the RF environment & so 802.11n performance can be hit or miss…
15
BeamFlex - Keeping the 11n Promise
Ruckus 11N AP with Smart-N adaptive antenna system
• Dual Polarized, 12 elements; 4,000+ unique beam patterns, 3x3
• Accurate RF diversity and up to 18dBi of interference rejection facilitate usage of spatial multiplexing and channel bondingand other 11n techniques (frame aggregation, block Ack & reduced guard interval)
• RF parameters automatically optimised on a per end station basis to ensure each client gets greatest benefit
