1 Connecting the Home to Broadband Reliably Without Wires…

2 Page 2 What’s All the Ruckus About?  Wi-Fi metro networks are taking off  Carriers need reliable in-home CPE to help subscribers connect

3 Page 3 Introducing Ruckus Wireless  Formed June 2004 (as Video54)  Headquarters Mountain View, CA  Funding $14M (two rounds)  Investors Sequoia, Sutter Hill, WK Technology Fund Investor AB  Employees 50+  Management Alteon/Nortel Cisco Iospan VXTel Riverbed Fore Systems  Innovation First wireless multimedia system Selina Lo President and CEO Bill Kish Founder and CTO Victor Shtrom Founder and Chief Architect

4 Page 4 The Ruckus Difference We make Wi-Fi reliable by picking the best signal path for any given traffic at any given time

5 Page 5  No link stability  Inadequate range  Poor performance at longer distances What’s Wrong with Today’s Wi-Fi for Connecting to MetroMesh Networks?  Can’t avoid interference

6 Page 6 Problems Solved Predictable, High Performance Connectivity to MetroMesh Networks MetroFlex Connectivity to outdoor Tropos node In-home Wi-Fi connectivity

7 Page 7 High powered for better reception Continually determines best antenna to receive RF signal Picks best mesh node based on link performance 312 Introducing MetroFlex Access Gateway The First Purpose-Built CPE for MetroMesh Networks

8 Page 8 Reliable Indoor Connectivity to and Performance with MetroMesh Networks  Long-range, high-speed bi-directional connectivity  Unprecedented reliability and diversity  Automatic interference avoidance  Extends metro Wi-Fi signal throughout the home/office  Remote management  DHCP and NAT support  Multi-station support  802.1x / EAP-TTLS authentication  200 milliwatt high-output power amplifier

9 Page 9 Faster and Farther Automatic Connectivity to Best Metro Node Based on Throughput

10 Page 10 Smart Antennas Make All The Difference Four high-gain horizontally polarized and two high- gain vertically polarized directional antenna elements determine best antenna pair and signal path for any packet at any time

11 Page 11 BeamFlex Avoids Interference  Patent-pending smart antennas  Applies MIMO-diversity techniques to standard Wi-Fi  “Intuitive antennas” (continuous learning)  2 to 3X range and performance increase  Active interference rejection  Compatible with all 802.11 standards  Compact internal antenna array  Capable of 63 unique antenna patterns  Increased range and better performance in any direction at any time  Expert control software constantly ranks optimum antenna patterns for each receiving device High-gain directional antenna elements

12 Page 12 How BeamFlex Works in the Home Family Room Bedroom Home office Kitchen Interference from neighboring network BeamFlex Powered Set Top Box Ruckus AP 1 2 3 1 Microwave 2

13 Page 13 Believing is Seeing Off-the-shelf 802.11 AP to Off-the-Shelf 802.11g Client Ruckus 2900 AP to Ruckus 2501 Client Automatic Interference Avoidance and Mitigation 3-minute throughput measurements Microwave on after first minute for one minute

14 Page 14 Who Really Cares?  Reduced churn  Bring subs on faster  Lower deployment costs  See into CPE to manage Wi-Fi connections  More reliable connection to MetroMesh networks  Single Wi-Fi system for both indoor and outdoor connectivity  IPTV over Wi-Fi in the home too CARRIERS CONSUMERS
