USM-Metro-RKS1-091807-01 Ruckus Metro Broadband Gateway 3
BeamFlex™
BeamFlex™
BeamFlex™ is a Ruckus Wireless 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 Metro Broadband Gateway 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
• Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output (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 54Mbps; 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.The MM2211-DZ allows home PCs to associate to it wirelessly
.
• Forward compatible with the emerging 802.11n WLAN standard.
