BeamFlex™

BeamFlex™ is Ruckus Wireless, Inc.’s patent-pending antenna technology that allows wireless signals to

navigate around interference, extend wireless signal range, and increase speeds and capacity for 802.11b/g

wireless networks. The BeamFlex™ antenna system consists of an array of six high-gain antenna elements,

that allow the MM2211 to find quality signal paths in a changing environment, and sustain the baseline

performance required in a metro wi-fi environment.

MetroFlex enhances the existing BeamFlex technology to use a dual polarized (horizontal and vertical)

antenna array.

Key Features

BeamFlex™ Smart MIMO Antenna Maximizes Wireless Range and Performance

• Multi-In, Multi-Out (MIMO) technology supports real time learning of radio frequency, station, network

and application conditions.

• On-the-fly adaptation to each receiving device in response to environmental changes such as interference

to maximize signal quality, data rate and minimize packet errors and retransmissions.

• Internal driver software controls an antenna array with 6 high-gain, directional antenna elements and 63

unique antenna combinations.

• Expert system 802.11 driver controls data rate and retransmission policies on a per-packet basis.

Simple Configuration and Installation

• Simple Web-based user interface for easy configuration and customization of features such as SSID, WEP

or WPA key, statistics monitoring and software upgrade.

Standards-based Solution Protects User Investment, Minimizes Replacement Cost

• Compliant with 802.11b and 802.11g: supports 802.11g wireless networking at up to 54 Mbps; and can

interoperate in 802.11g-only or mixed networks.

• Supports Wi-Fi Protected Access-Pre-Shared Key (WPA-PSK) data encryption. WPA provides strong

data encryption and authentication based on a pre-shared key.

• Supports 64-bit and 128-bit WEP encryption security. WEP keys can be generated manually or by

passphrase.

• Attaches to home PC by Ethernet to optimize the reception of wireless signals from the outdoor Mesh

Networks nodes.

• Forward compatible with the emerging 802.11n WLAN standard.
