8 First Things First: The Pilot With Concurrent Data Using Dual-Band 802.11n Smart Wi-Fi Three MPEG-2 HD IP-based VoD at 20 Mbps per stream and two MPEG-2 SD streams at 5 Mbps were supported Single dual-band ZoneFlex 7962 supported streaming to 5 TVs and 5 802.11g laptops for HSIA Trial Conducted at

9 Operation: “Napkin Holder” The Challenge Delivery of HD Video on Demand without pulling additional CAT5 cable to additional TV locations in guestroom The Plan Ruckus 7962 APs already spec’d to accommodate guest Wi-Fi Installation of Ruckus Media Flex 7000s to extend IP VOD signal The Result Signal coverage originally designed for guest Wi-Fi easily accommodated HD video as well 91 ZoneFlex 7962s APs 98 MediaFlex 7811 adapters 1 ZoneDirector controller THE SOLUTION MediaFlex 7811 802.11n 5 GHz Adapter ZoneFlex 7962 Dual-band 802.11n

11 Taking Smart Wi-Fi to the Masses Three-day world music festival at Charlton Park, UK 24-26 July, 2009 Co-founded by Peter Gabriel 60 live acts day and night 40,000 people 300 traders Events held around the world Based in Wiltshire, England Technology services to event organizers and promoters Infrastructure and public services: Wi-Fi, broadband access, power, monitoring and control

Voice Over Smart Wi-Fi
15
14 Two main issues Unreliable voice roaming High-density data Thick plaster walls with chicken-wire mesh in walls – v. bad for signal penetration Cisco solution kludged with high-gain antennas High power -good for penetration (data) bad for co-channel interference RF energy spews in all directions Roaming and connection stability problems Background Part of the InterContinental Hotel Group (IHG) 16 floor luxury hotel WLAN everywhere DATA: guest internet access VOICE: staff communication so that customer care can exceed highest of standards Voice network 40 Spectralink phones 100 Vocera badges Used by all staff – security, engineering, housekeeping, food service, bellmen Service staff equipped with voice devices
16
15 Without Ruckus Cisco AP 1200 with omni antennas can’t penetrate walls Poor signals hurts voice (and data) Solution: increase power Cisco AP1200 with hi-power (30 dBm) amps, and 5 dBi cone antennas High power helps penetration, but also increases co-channel interference More contention, more packet loss – bad for voice Solution “works great for internet access”, “horrible for VoIP” Lots of staff complaints
17
16 With Ruckus ZoneFlex Smart WLANs Vocera SSID Guest (Data) SSID Spectralink SSID Site survey with actual voice device Spectralink between -60 and -70 dBm Vocera uses CQ or SNR; recommend 24 or better All APs mounted dome-down for additional 2-3 dB BeamFlex provides excellent range, ideal performance for upstream/downstream voice High-gain directionality eliminates co-channel interference Great for VoIP that is sensitive to lost packets, and retries ZoneFlex 2942s ZoneDirector 3000 VLAN per WLAN

Warehousing

18 Increasing Operational Efficiency W A R E H O U S I N G Just-in-time logistics company located in Eidson, NJ 185,000 square foot warehouse facility Hostile RF environment Floor-to-ceiling metal racks Requirements No additional Ethernet cabling Deploy APs with only power Complete coverage Central management Controlled guest access Reliable Wi-Fi connectivity Simple configuration and administration
20
19 The Problem(s) W A R E H O U S I N G Huge facility with limited Ethernet cabling Hostile RF environment Floor-to-ceiling metal racks throughout Dropped connections Poor signal coverage Lack of simple and central management
21
20 Smart meshed APs eliminate additional Ethernet cable Complete coverage with fewer APs needed Centralized control Adaptive Wi-Fi provides reliable signals within hostile RF environment Easy to add APs on-the- fly without cabling One fourth the cost of proposed alternative WLAN solutions The Solution and Benefits W A R E H O U S I N G

Indoor WiFI Meshing
23
22 Poor wired network main driver for new Wi-Fi network Cat 5 backbone to closets, old-Cat 3 to rooms Limited capacity to rooms (10-15 Mbps) Recabling rooms a non starter (est. $480,000) Low Guest Service Index scores hurting business Building construction an RF challenge Signal attenuation a concern Huge coverage area Three-wing configuration with long runs to guest rooms meant coverage challenges Wi-Fi solutions for entire hotel from Xirrus, Cisco, Colubris and TeleAdapt $120K and higher Wi-Fi Solves Wired Problem 802 guest rooms 15 floors (12 guest) 550,000 square feet Located near LAX Hotel designed to withhold direct hit from 747 H O S P I T A L I T Y
24
23 What was Done… H O S P I T A L I T Y Four ZoneFlex 2942s for each of the 12 guest room floors One at end of each wing one “meshed” in the middle One AP per 17 floors at $35/room (48 total APs) Redundant ZoneDirector 1050 controllers Entire WLAN configuration in under 30 minutes Deployment in 18 hours (with 2 people)
25
24 And the Results? H O S P I T A L I T Y Lower GSI scores Better performance than wired everywhere Overall WLAN less than ½ the cost of any other alternative Better reliability, “rock-solid Wi-Fi connections” Video and voice ready (ie. can now focus on rev-gen apps)
