Another Innovation - ChannelFly
A predictive capacity management technique that uses
statistical modeling to pick the best RF operating
channel
▪ Leverages patented principles from BeamFlex™ to learn and select the
best RF channel
▪ Uses live channel activity to learn what channels will yield the most throughput
▪ Assesses true channel capacity, not subjective noise and traffic measurements
▪ Evaluates all channels: 2.4 GHz access and 5 GHz backhaul
▪ Smooth client transitions using 802.11h
▪ System constantly determines proper channel; no configuration or monitoring
necessary
▪ Fast reaction (in seconds) to significant drop in throughput
▪ Significant capacity improvement observed in congested environments

BeamFlex Antenna Advantages
 Omni-directional antenna:
 Cannot control interference to neighbouring APs
 Multipath phasing can be a significant issue
 No interference rejection
 Make bad RF neighbors
▪ BeamFlex smart antenna:
Beamforming focuses the RF energy ensuring multipath
arrives in phase and provides maximum signal density
= extended range and superior performance
Horizontally and vertically polarised elements offer 4000+
unique antenna patterns automatically selected on a per
packet/per client basis
Attenuate interference from adjacent APs, clients and other
RF sources
Cause significantly less interference to adjacent APs
Signal Gain
Up to 9dBi
Rejected Interference
Up to -17dB

First-of-its-Kind Smart Wi-Fi
Self Learning, Self Optimizing, Self Healing Wi-Fi Antenna System
▪ Patented BeamFlex™ beam-steering antenna
▪ Directional elements add range, reject interference
▪ Combined elements to provide extended coverage
▪ Self-learning software selects best combo in real time
▪ Maximizes performance
▪ Placement / orientation indifferent
▪ Completely compatible with all 802.11 devices
▪ Proven in over 2 million AP installations
▪ Already deployed by 200 service providers worldwide
▪ Acclaimed for superior coverage, video-worthy performance

A First: Dynamic PSK™
▪ The Problem: Provisioning secure wireless access
▪ Single pre-shared key is not secure
(e.g. employee leaving requires changing key for all employees)
▪ 802.1x is complex and not affordable for SMBs
▪ No IT resource to administer unique key per employee
 The Solution: Auto administered Dynamic PSK™
 Automatic provisioning of unique encryption key to each user/device
 No manual client configuration
 Highly secure: unique 63-byte pass-phrase per user
 Easily deactivated when employee leaves
 New key can be generated periodically
 Configurable per WLAN

Zero-IT / Dynamic PSK™ Support

Guest Networking
▪ Easy to use
▪ Guest Pass portal simplifies guest pass generation
▪ Generation privileges can be granted to any guest-facing staff
▪ Flexible

▪ Random key or easy-to-remember operator generated

▪ Single or batch creation
▪ Expiration from creation time or first login in
▪ Customizable login, usage instructions
▪ Secure
▪ Guests are automatically placed on separate VLAN from
corporate users
▪ Guest can be restricted from accessing corporate subnets
