BeamFlex - a sophisticated smart antenna system
BeamFlex offers first-of-its-kind Adaptive Antenna Technology that maximizes signal coverage, throughput, and network capacity. Unlike omni-directional antennas that radiate signals in all directions, BeamFlex directs transmit energy towards the best path to the receiving device. And unlike fixed-positioned directional antennas, BeamFlex dynamically configures its "beam" on a per-station, per-packet basis, to achieve enhanced signal.
BeamFlex+
BeamFlex+ is an enhancement to Ruckus BeamFlex adaptive antenna technology by providing adaptive support to mobile devices. BeamFlex+ enables antennas to adapt to client device orientation in addition to client device location.
Key Benefits
Over 3X increase in performance and range
8X expanded coverage
Stabilized wireless network performance, for picture-perfect video streaming and crystal-clear voice communications
Maximized power efficiency
Interference mitigation
SmartCast - an advanced traffic engineering and quality of service system
SmartCast technology combines innovative multicast traffic handling techniques, smart QoS, and application-aware traffic classification capabilities, for top-quality Wi-Fi video transmissions. When SmartCast detects a wireless client subscribing to a multicast streaming application, such as IPTV or a VOIP call, it directs the associated multicast packets to each subscriber, using the optimum data rate and signal path. To ensure peak performance, all packets are queued/de-queued by specialized schedulers, optimized for the corresponding traffic type, the delay/jitter tolerance and bandwidth requirements of the traffic, and the changing characteristics of each station on the WLAN.
Features:
Multimedia-optimized traffic management algorithms, which guarantee performance for multiple broadcast quality voice or video streams, while maintaining adequate bandwidth for data applications
Automatic classification of all traffic, based on UDP/TCP port and other application attributes, and managed according to the traffic's classified priority and characteristics
Automatic Type-of-Service (TOS) tagging, which eliminates complex QoS configurations, with automatic management of lower-speed 802.11 devices, to assure bandwidth availability for prioritized video applications
Four priority queues per station, for high prioritization granularity and precision for multiple concurrent multicast streams
SmartSec - a collection of advanced security mechanisms
SmartSec is a unique collection of security capabilities that automates client-side security, making it easy to use. It provides a patent-pending mechanism that generates, configures, and installs encryption keys on client devices—in a process that's totally transparent to the user
Key Benefits
Pre-shared encryption keys
Role-based user access
Layer 2/3 client isolation
Robust link layer encryption
Wireless intrusion detection
One of the Industry's first Dynamic PSK
Captive portal authentication
Automatic guest access
ActiveDirectory, LDAP, and RADIUS support
SmartMesh - a state-of-the-art RF routing system
SmartMesh Networking is one of the first Wi-Fi meshing approach that combines high-gain smart antenna arrays, sophisticated RF routing, and centralized management in a single WLAN system. And it extends Smart Wi-Fi technology to create a new class of reliable WLANs that are self-organizing, self-optimizing, and self-healing.
Key Benefits:
Offers high performance, by combining 802.11n with Smart Wi-Fi technology
Provides reliable connectivity between mesh nodes, using best path selection and interference mitigation techniques
Adapts in real time to environmental changes, ensuring highly-reliable and available wireless trunk links. ChannelFly, Ruckus’ novel approach to channel selection, improves capacity by up to 50 percent
Utilizes efficient “tree” topology that minimizes convergence risks and latency, while maximizing performance
Features easy, one-click setup and one-screen management
Half the time, half the cost, three times the performance
ChannelFly - predictive capacity management for optimal channel selection
ChannelFly is an new approach to optimizing RF channel selection based on capacity averages across all channels. Specialized algorithms select the best channel based on historical values. When combined with Ruckus’ smart adaptive antenna array (BeamFlex), up to twice the capacity as competitive alternatives is achievable.
Key Benefits
Leverages patented principles from BeamFlex™ to learn and select the best RF channel
Uses live channel activity to learn what channels will yield the most throughput
Assesses true channel capacity, not subjective noise and traffic measurements
Works with 2.4 GHz access and 5 GHz backhaul
System constantly determines proper channel; no configuration or monitoring necessary
Fast reaction (in seconds) to significant drop in throughput
Significant capacity improvement observed in congested environments (25 -50%)
