IS ESSENTIAL. IT MUST BE EVERYWHERE, INDOORS AND OUT, STABLE AND STRONG

ENOUGH TO SUPPORT THE MOST DEMANDING MULTIMEDIA APPLICATIONS. IF NOT,

GUESTS WONT COME BACK. RUCKUS ZONEFLEX IS NOW THE GOLD STANDARD FOR

HOTELS AROUND THE WORLD.

WI-FI IS NO LONGER JUST ANOTHER AMENITY FOR HOTELS; ITS A PREREQUISITE FOR DOING BUSINESS.

ONE NETWORK FOR ALL CONVERGED SERVICES

Ruckus Smart Wi-Fi supports essential business and guest optimization services from the back offi ce to point-of-sale

terminals to IP-based devices everywhere.

Ruckus Smart Wi-Fi connects wireless kiosks giving guests access to infor-mation at anytime, especially when the front desk is busy with check-ins and check-outs.

Today, hotels need Wi-Fi for far more than just Internet access. With Ruckus dual-band 802.11n access points, hoteliers can now deploy a single,

reliable wireless infrastructure to concurrently support all essential business applications includ-ing: tiered high-speed Internet access, point-of-sale terminals, IP-based video on demand, back offi ce and service optimization services, voice over IP, digital signage and kiosks to in-room IP-enabled devices of all kinds.

Ruckus Smart Wi-Fi enables uninterrupted voice communication between hotel staff equipped with third-party IP-based devices.

Ruckus Smart Wi-Fi ensures fl icker-free video for guests.

UNMATCHED MULTIMEDIA SUPPORT

IP-based video streaming, voice communications and other multime-dia applications such as digital signage are quickly become essentials. Unlike other wireless systems, Ruckus ZoneFlex was purpose-built for multimedia. Our patented dynamic beamforming and traffi c engineering technologies uniquely classify, schedule, prioritize and optimize latency-sensitive multimedia traffi c to ensure fl icker-free video for guests, or crystal-clear voice between hotel staff using IP-based phones.

Ruckus Smart Wi-Fi versus the alternative

MORE RELIABLE WI-FI EVERYWHEREWITH FEWER APS

Ruckus Smart Wi-Fi uniquely delivers the most reliable Wi-Fi signals possible. Patented Ruckus Wi-Fi technology called BeamFlex directs Wi-Fi signals toward associated clients, picking the best performing path and constantly routing signals around interference as it is encountered. A single Ruckus ZoneFlex AP delivers two- to four-times the range of any conventional AP. In over 90 percent of our installs, hotels were able to reduce their original AP count by as much as 35-40 percent saving them signifi cant capital expense.

Many hotels just dont have Ethernet everywhere. To help, the Ruckus ZoneFlex system supports Smart Mesh Networking. This lets hotels easily add Wi-Fi by simply plugging AP into a power outlet. This eliminates disrup-tive and costly Ethernet cabling the associated opera-tional expenses. An advanced smart antenna array en-sures unprecedented reliability for the mesh backbone, minimizing packet loss, steering signals over the fastest paths and increasing range between mesh nodes.

EXTEND WI-FI WHERE OTHERS CANT WITH SMART MESHING

Your guests can relax anywhere because theyre never out of touch.

With Ruckus Smart Wi-Fi, wherever your guests go, there we are.

We were amazed at how few APs we needed with this much space and

how easy the system was to deploy. We needed only 10 APs to provide

complete common area coverage in our Grande St. Lucian resort which

covers almost 45 acres. The Ruckus ZoneFlex system was simply the most cost-effective wireless LAN system we could fi nd with the precise set of func-tions we needed indoors and out.

BOBBY STEWARTTreasury Director

Resorts International

The Ruckus Wireless dual-band 802.11n system was the only one we could find that was purposely designed to support concurrent IP-streaming VOD and HSIA over the same infrastructure. This eliminated some severe headaches for us, simplified our deployment and was more cost-effective than running more wires everywhere.

Hotels and their guests shouldnt be disturbed. The ZoneFlex WLAN system confi gures in minutes and can be installed in less than half the time it takes to deploy any Wi-Fi alternative. A simple wizard enables complex confi guration in minutes. Deploy APs wher-ever service is needed, with or without Ethernet. APs automatically confi gure, register with the ZoneDirector and youre off and running.

INSANELY SIMPLE WI-FI DEPLOYMENT THATS FAST, EASY AND NON-DISRUPTIVE

ELEGANT AND EASY GUEST NETWORKING

Hotels can offer Wi-Fi in guest rooms and com-mon areas for free, or bundled in a communications package. With ZoneFlex, guest networking is easily enabled through a highly intuitive, browser-based facility that lets any guest-facing staff generate a unique Wi-Fi guest pass in less than 60 seconds.

The Ruckus ZoneFlex WLAN system confi gures in minutes so your guests will never be disturbed.

WERE FEELING THE LOVE FROM A MARQUEE LIST OF WORLD RENOWNED CUSTOMERS

The InterContinental Mark Hopkins Hotel is an historic 19-story high-end luxury property located in the heart of San Francisco. With 380 guest rooms, 20 meeting rooms and over 350 staff, the Mark Hopkins is con-structed of thick metal lathe walls with con-crete plaster. This makes the propagation of Wi-Fi signals extremely diffi cult, especially for latency-applications like voice over IP.

To increase customer service, the Mark Hopkins had purchased some 100 IP-based Vocera communications badges for their customer-facing and engineering staff. With the badges, staff could easily notify colleagues to alert them to a problem, service request or arriving VIP.

To support its Vocera VoIP over Wi-Fi application, the Mark Hopkins initially installed Cisco 1200s with RF amplifi ers and 5dBi cone antennas to better reach the Vocera badges that integrated low-power Wi-Fi chips. But when the system failed to deliver, due to co-channel interference prob-lems, staff started to defect.

After RF noise was discovered to cause dropped connection, jitter and delays, the Mark Hopkins replaced them with Ruckus ZoneFlex 2942. Smart Wi-Fi APs that pro-vide automatic interference mitigation and rejection. Since that time, the problems have disappeared and groups in the hotel that previously refused to use the system now swear by it.
