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

hard to “hear” due to orientation
§ Better transmission to devices constantly changing their orientation
Polarization Diversity (BeamFlex+) Device orientation accounts for up to 5x performance differential among products

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

1 Gbps Ethernet sufficient
> 1Gbps, Requires Link Aggregation
Link Aggregation bonds two Ethernet ports to form a 2 Gbps link
§ R710 supports Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) per 802.1ax § LACP is configurable via AP CLI. UI support in a future release. § LACP must be enabled on the switch as well
R710 radios are capable of driving traffic beyond a single Gigabit Ethernet capacity, requiring Link Aggregation
R710 • Nirvana = approaching 1.5Mbps real throughput 4ss SU, 256QAM, widest channelization (40 in 2.4, 80 in 5) • 1GE Ethernet is full duplex => Nevertheless, LAG will be supported
34 RUCKUS WIRELESS INC. PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL
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 !!
