Ruckus MediaFlex Hotspot

Ruckus Wireless Confidential

Users now expect reliable Wi-Fi wherever

Wide range of users (free, fee-based, enterprise)

Multitude of client devices

New multimedia applications such as Vo-Fi, IP-based video, enterprise extension

Better coverage, higher densities

Need to make money on Wi-Fi

Triple Play Extending Beyond the Home


Hotspots Under Pressure to Evolve

The high end (centralized enterprise) Expensive Feature overkill Requires IT expertise Difficult to manage Inadequate coverage No multimedia support

The low end (consumer-grade) Inadequate coverage No multimedia support No advanced features for

hotspots Individually managed

But No Purpose-Built Solution Exists

What’sNeeded?

MediaFlexHotspot


Introducing MediaFlex Hotspot (2925)Designed for High Density, Multimedia Hotspots

Carrier-class quality at affordable price

Custom-designed smart antenna for high density environments Up to 20 concurrent Vo-Fi calls 20Mbps of sustained video throughput 50+ data clients 20 Mbps sustained system throughput

Built for streaming media apps 2X to 4X extended range Multiple SSIDs and per SSID

policies Enhanced troubleshooting

Remote spectrum monitoring Continuous channel selection


Simple to Deploy

Completely plug-and-play Pre-configured for no-IT staff environments Wall or ceiling mounts install in minutes

Adaptive smart antenna system eliminates guess work System constantly determines and re-determines

best signal path APs can be placed virtually anywhere – no more site

surveys Extended range means fewer APs to deploy

Continuous channel selection picks best channel System always optimized for best performance


Purpose-Built Hotspot Smart Antenna

The only Wi-Fi antenna built for signal gain and interference rejection Ideally suited for high density

environments Up to 20 dB of interference rejection

Combines high performance omni and directional antenna into single system 64 unique omni and directional antenna

patterns 5 dBi peak gain

Advanced expert control algorithms that optimize Signal path selection Throughput Coverage

Combines omni and directional antennas to uniquely support high-density environments

Operators Looking to Expand their Footprint into


Case Study: ThaiFi

Requirements Get good Wi-Fi coverage

throughout 35-story hotel

Ensure no guest disturbance (i.e. remote management a must)

Minimize number of access points

Mitigate interference

Support for emerging applications such as IP video

Multiple SSIDs for different networks (eg. Internal operations, public access, etc.)

Cost-effective (sub $200)

Solution MediaFlex HS

Doubled range of Wi-Fi Reduced the number of

APs by more than 1/2 Better signal penetration Automatic interference

avoidance

Multiple SSIDs for different networks (eg. Internal operations, public access, etc.)

Ideal price/feature ratio
