Background

Ruckus Technology

At the heart of all of Ruckus Wireless products is its patented Smart Wi-Fi technology. Smart Wi-Fi is a collection of four unique technology breakthroughs in the areas of adaptive RF control (BeamFlex), sophisticated application-aware QoS (SmartCast), advanced security mechanisms (SmartSec) and resilient Wi-Fi meshing (Smart Mesh Networking).

Integrated within Ruckus Smart Wi-Fi systems, these technologies ensure the reliable and predictable performance, essential for supporting the most challenging applications.

BeamFlex is the industry’s most advanced Wi-Fi smart antenna implementation. Combining a compact internal antenna array with expert control software, BeamFlex continuously ranks the antenna configurations for each receiving device and reconfigures itself in real-time to bypass interference and physical barriers.

BeamFlex steers Wi-Fi signals around interference to ensure predictable performance at a greater range. It also eliminates dead spots, increasing the range and performance of the Wi-Fi network from 200 to 300 percent. High-gain directional antennas provide up to 9dBi of antenna gain and 17dB of interference rejection. Highly sensitive antenna elements also deliver the industry’s most sensitive Wi-Fi receiving capabilities. BeamFlex allows long-range reception of Wi-Fi signals down to -100 dBm. This results in the most reliable Wi-Fi systems available today.

SmartCast is an advanced traffic management engine providing myriad unique functions such as content parsing, multicast conversion, application classification, and quality of service controls. Unlike other quality of service implementations, SmartCast provides automatic flow classification, software pre-queuing per station and per packet scheduling of traffic over the smart antenna array.

SmartSec, a unique collection of advanced security capabilities, enables dynamic generation of pre-shared encryption keys, role-based user access, Layer 2/3 client isolation, robust link layer encryption and wireless intrusion detection.

Smart Mesh Networking changes the fundamental economics of WLAN deployment. Smart Mesh Networking uses Ruckus-patented Smart Wi-Fi and expert RF routing technologies for creating long-range, reliable and adaptive Wi-Fi trunk connections between mesh APs, obviating the need for cabling Ethernet to every AP.
