What’s the Problem? No Real WLAN Solution Exists for the Middle Market SOHO Price sensitive Optimized for Single AP <10 users ENTERPRISE OPEX sensitive Optimized for Multiple switches Elaborate security 100s to 1000s of users SMB and Hot Zone Value sensitive Optimized for Little or no IT staff Multiple APs 100s users Increasing need for multimedia

Introducing ZoneFlex Simple-to-Use, Industrial-Strength WLANs Effortless everything Pluggable, meshable, easy to install/expand Wizard-based configuration Automatic client administration Advanced security simplified Best Wi-Fi on the planet WLAN-wide optimum signal path selection WLAN-wide interference avoidance WLAN-wide automatic RF coordination Unmatched price/value Unprecedented CAPEX savings Lowest OPEX Breakthrough feature/functionality
5
Important Breakthroughs Network BeamFlex™ Minute Config™ Unmatched price/value
6
First-of-its-Kind Smart Wi-Fi Patented BeamFlex™ beam-steering antenna Directional elements add range, reject interference Combined elements to provide extended coverage Self-learning software selects best combo in real time Maximizes performance Placement/orientation indifferent Completely compatible with all 802.11 devices Proven in over 1 million AP installations Already deployed by 200 service providers worldwide Acclaimed for superior coverage, video-worthy performance N antenna elements 2 N -1 unique beam patterns Self Learning, Self Optimizing, Self Healing Wi-Fi Antenna System
7
How BeamFlex Works BeamFlex antenna directs Wi-Fi signals to clients Automatically rejects Interference Metal Wall Steers signals around impenetrable obstacles Automatically adapts to moves, adds and changes BeamFlex antennas make “good neighbors” ZoneFlex AP Fewer APs reach farther, faster, for more users AUTOMATICALLY!

Effortless Configuration In 5 Minutes or Less

Simplified Robust Security The Problem: Provisioning secure wireless access Single pre-shared key is not secure (e.g. employee leaving requires changing key for all employees) 802.1x is an overkill and not affordable for SMBs No IT resource to administer unique key per employee The Solution: Auto administered dynamic PSK Automatic provisioning of unique encryption key to each user/device No manual client configuration Highly secure: unique 63-byte pass-phrase per user Easily deactivated when employee leaves New key can be generated periodically Configurable per WLAN
11
How Dynamic PSK Works RADIUS/AD ZoneDirector IDS Router 1. First time user connects to Ethernet port 5.User can now connect securely to the WLAN 3. Once authenticated, ZoneDirector auto- provisions the requisite WLAN settings and a unique, dynamic PSK in user’s wireless settings Internet 2. User specifies URL to be automatically configured for WLAN access ZoneFlex 2942 4. Key is bound to both user and device until invalidated
12
The ZoneDirector 1000 First centralized multimedia WLAN control platform Built for simplicity and robustness Network, RF, security and location management all-in-one Internal authentication database, seamless AD & RADIUS integration Customizable management dashboard AP heat map Controls up to 50 APs Standards-based CAPWAP Automatic redundancy
13
ZoneFlex 2942 11b/g Multimedia AP Business class BeamFlex High density of mobile users Optimum performance with variety of client devices Advanced multimedia business QoS Per-user rate limiting enables tiered services Precision per-user, per-traffic class queues Automatic traffic classification and tagging QoS policies configurable per WLAN (SSID) 20 concurrent VoIP calls, 50+ data clients Supports Network BeamFlex meshing 12 antenna elements provide 4000+ unique antenna patterns Up to 7dBi gain, 18 dB interference rejection
14
Unprecedented Price/Value Purpose-built for SMB and hot zones Simple, IT-Lite Complete feature set Competitors simply re-package complex enterprise bundles Entry level solution starts at under $2K Channel friendly More budget for value-added services Hooks for application integration Multimedia, eg: video conferencing, surveillance, ad insertion Tiered access Reduced integration time and resources
