Announcement Details
First multimedia WLAN system purpose-built for SMB and hot zone markets
Three new products ZoneFlex 802.11g, n access points ZoneDirector central control system FlexMaster remote management
Three unique breakthroughs Network BeamFlex Minute Config Unmatched price/value solution
ZoneDirector 1000
ZoneFlex 2942
What’s the Problem?No Real WLAN Solution Exists for the Middle Market
SOHO Price sensitive Optimized for
Single AP<10 users
ENTERPRISE OPEX sensitive Optimized for
Multiple switches Elaborate security 100s to 1000s of users
SMB and Hot Zone Value sensitive Optimized for
Little or no IT staff Multiple APs 100s users Increasing need for multimedia
Introducing ZoneFlexSimple-to-Use, Industrial-Strength WLANs
Effortless everything Pluggable, meshable, easy to
install/expand Wizard-based configuration Automatic client administration Advanced security simplified
Best Wi-Fi on the planet WLAN-wide optimum signal path selection WLAN-wide interference avoidance WLAN-wide automatic RF coordination
Unmatched price/value Unprecedented CAPEX savings Lowest OPEX Breakthrough feature/functionality

First-of-its-Kind Smart Wi-Fi
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 1 million AP installations Already deployed by 200 service providers
worldwide Acclaimed for superior coverage, video-worthy
performance
N antenna elements
2N-1 unique
beam patterns
Self Learning, Self Optimizing, Self Healing Wi-Fi Antenna System
How BeamFlex Works BeamFlex
antenna directs Wi-Fi signals to clients
Automatically rejects Interference
Met
al W
all
Steers signals around impenetrable obstacles
Automatically adapts to moves, adds and changes
BeamFlex antennas make “good neighbors”
ZoneFlex AP
Fewer APs reach farther, faster, for more users
AUTOMATICALLY!

Network BeamFlex
Add capacity and coverage as needed
No new Ethernet cables to APs
Auto topology with BeamFlex path selection algorithm
Self-organizing/self healing
Auto RF: beam-steering, centralized channel and power coordination
Hotel
ZoneFlex Mesh Simplifies WLAN Deployment and Expansion
Secure encrypted backhauls
10 APs per wireless cluster
Three hop max in a tree-structured mesh
802.11g, n support
Effortless ConfigurationIn 5 Minutes or Less
Simplified Robust Security
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 an overkill 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
How Dynamic PSK Works
RADIUS/AD
ZoneDirector
IDS
Router
1. First time user connects to Ethernet port
5. User can now connect securely to the WLAN
3. Once authenticated, ZoneDirector auto-provisions the requisite WLAN settings and a unique, dynamic PSK in user’s wireless settings
Internet
2. User specifies URL to be automatically configured for WLAN access
ZoneFlex 2942
4. Key is bound to both user and device until invalidated
The ZoneDirector 1000 First centralized multimedia WLAN
control platform
Built for simplicity and robustness
Network, RF, security and location management all-in-one
Internal authentication database, seamless AD & RADIUS integration
Customizable management dashboard
AP heat map
Controls up to 50 APs
Standards-based CAPWAP
Automatic redundancy
ZoneFlex 2942 11b/g Multimedia AP Business class BeamFlex
High density of mobile users Optimum performance with variety of client
devices
Advanced multimedia business QoS Per-user rate limiting enables tiered services Precision per-user, per-traffic class queues Automatic traffic classification and tagging QoS policies configurable per WLAN (SSID)
20 concurrent VoIP calls, 50+ data clients
Supports Network BeamFlex meshing
12 antenna elements provide 4000+ unique
antenna patterns
Up to 7dBi gain, 18 dB interference rejection
Unprecedented Price/Value Purpose-built for SMB and hot
zones Simple, IT-Lite Complete feature set
Competitors simply re-package complex enterprise bundles
Entry level solution starts at under $2K
Channel friendly More budget for value-added services Hooks for application integration
Multimedia, eg: video conferencing, surveillance, ad insertion
Tiered access Reduced integration time and
resources
