6 Interesting WiFi Case Studies

7 Hospitality: HD over WiFi

8 7 Philadelphia Palomar Hotel  4-Star, Luxury Boutique Hotel in City Center  Daniel Burnham designed, LEED registered building  25 Floors, 5,200 sq ft each  Total rooms: 230  Rooms per floor: 12  Meeting space: 6,000 sq ft  Total square feet: 130,000

9 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

10 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 Outdoor WiFi

12 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

13 12 Smart Outdoor Wi-Fi Make Things Simple Area  ~ 250 acres Applications  Free public access  VoIP backhaul  PoS systems  Sound monitoring  Audio Streams  CCTV  Management Products  18+ dual band 802.11n smart Wi-Fi APs  1 Smart WLAN controller Transport  5GHz mesh connections  2.4GHz client connections ZoneDirector Smart WLAN Controller ZoneFlex Dual-Band 802.11n APs Smart Mesh Networking Adaptive beamforming

14 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

18 Warehousing

19 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

22 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)
