Ruckus Planner powered by AirMagnet

2 Why should you use Ruckus Planner?  Ruckus AP’s are easier for planning.. Resellers can verify with 3 rd party tool  Verify with the tool to save costs for properly designed WLAN  Money and time may be wasted on implementing inappropriate hardware incorrectly  The wireless LAN may never work properly resulting in frustrated users  Help Resellers to validate Quotation

3 What must you consider before any WLAN design?  Understand the business needs of the wireless LAN  What will the WLAN be used for?  Bandwidth & Roaming requirements  Determine signal coverage and control  Where RF coverage should and should not be  Understand and meet any security requirements  Regulatory requirements  Type and classification of data being transferred

4 Ruckus Planner Powered by AirMagnet  a/b/g/n WLAN design & modeling based on building materials and environment  Design networks before any physical AP roll- out or building is built  Ideal tool for estimating network deployment budgets  Choose your network migration strategies  Calculate and optimize AP count, layout & configuration  Create Bill-of-Materials report Specifically Designed with Ruckus Antennas

5 Quick and Professional WLAN Modeling  Import floor map of the site  Draw building constructions and environmental obstructions on the floor map  Manually place APs or let Planner automatically place it on the floor map  View coverage maps  Generate a “Bill-of-materials” report

6 Simple & Flexible Design Interface  Built-in library of materials, environments and obstructions  Walls, doors, windows, cubicles, offices, elevators, warehouse environments, etc.  Create and add customized environments and obstructions  Set Ruckus Wireless AP Properties  Build ideal configuration for Ruckus APs  Set Channels, Transmit Power, 11n properties, AP height, etc.  Select built-in Ruckus Wireless antenna patterns  Support on all Ruckus indoor APs  2825  2942, 7942, 7962  7343, 7363
