Signal Control is Paramount• Patented, intelligent antenna array & signal control

software provides directional, high-gain smart antenna

• Stronger Wi-Fi signals at longer ranges

• Antennas can form 100s-1000s unique combinations

• Antenna software learns from traffic real time throughput of each antenna combination

• Antenna software continually selects best performing combination per-packet, per-client

• Operates in addition to Multi User MIMO

• Adapts automatically to environmental changes

• More concurrent users per access point

• More stable connections at higher data rates

• Unmatched scalability


Ruckus PD-MRC

• Better reception (PD-MRC) for weak and hard to “hear” devices

• Better transmission to devices constantly changing their orientation
