PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL3
Did you know?
Wi-Fi is built around fighting for bandwidth.
Devices fight each otherand
Devices fight their own AP

The fight for bandwidth!
PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL6
Did you know?
Wi-Fi is built around fighting for bandwidth.
Access Points fight each other
PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL7
How does this keep the APs from fighting?
PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL8
Oh and those pretty little blobs… not reality any more. Meet 11n!
PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL9
Did you know?
Clients must disconnect from the networkas they TRY to pick the best Access Point.
PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL10
Is this really “mobility”?

Client stays connected to AP3; Skips AP4
Client stays connected to AP1; Skips AP2
> MicroCell Provides Poor Connectivity,
> All Meru Competitors use MicroCell
• Why use a disconnects as a means for better connectivity????
• Client devices Choose wrong AP = Poor performance
• Client devices have Hard Handoff = Service disrupted; Security restart
• Test took 240 seconds to complete
PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL11
Did you know?
Adding APs doesn’t scale.
PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL12
How do you scale Wi-Fi?
PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL13
Is this enough capacity?
PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL14
What about this?
PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL15
Did you know…
These are the most commonreasons for Wi-Fi Meltdown
In schools,In hospitals,
In Factories and Warehouses,On Airplanes,And more……

Wi-Fi platform in the world
and it’s still easier and has a lower TCO!
PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL18
The Meru Difference
Put the network in control of
Who talks when.
PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL19
Would you buy the hub or the switch?

The Meru DifferenceScale Where you need it whenever you need it!
• Difficult to scale to higher density
• Can’t share the load across many cells
• Bandwidth isolated by physical location
• Easy to design/deploy and scale.
• Share the load across any channel anytime
• Bandwidth available anywhere for any user
PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL25
The Meru Difference
Scale you can sink your teeth into…
The Meru WLAN500™ challenge!
