RUCKUS PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL
Ruckus BeamFlex+
Per-packet adaptive antenna selects the best
antenna pattern(s) for each client
Improves SNR, range, and capacity
Patented and unique to Ruckus
Works at the same time as spatial
multiplexing and TxBF
9 dB of signal gain and 15 dB of signal
rejection
Works with all clients, stationary or in
motion
Ruckus also supports standards-based
TxBF
✗Proprietary form of implicit TxBF
✗Sacrifices spatial streams to use TxBF
✗Does not work with mobile clients
✗Implicit TxBF does not work well
(especially without client calibration)
✗Real-world tests show no benefit
C-Vendor ClientLink
✗Relies on client support for calibration
and feedback, but few clients support it
✗Max theoretical gain is 3-5 dB
✗Sacrifices spatial streams to use TxBF
✗Static polarization can’t adapt to client
changes
Standards-based TxBF
X-Vendor Arrays
✗With up to 16 radios, co-located radioscause significant self-interference
✗ Antennas are static—fixed patterns
✗Clients circling the array roam across
IAPs
✗ Advertised directional gain, but omni
coverage in real surveys
