Ruckus and Intermec Joint Customer Presentation
October, 2012 Overview presentation + detailed notes
2
Warehouses: Unique Wi-Fi Challenges
Business Needs Applications RF Environment Increased competitive pressures Diverse customer needs Constant cost pressure Traditional AIDC terminals and mobile computers. Voice prompted data collection. VOIP / PTT Constant data stream devices on the RF network. i.e. bar code label printers – operating in either “on -demand” or “batch” modes. Changing characteristics High levels of reflection, cancellation and absorption Large coverage areas Limited on-site IT expertise

Voice-Directed Workflow
Major New Benefits Reduce errors by 85% Increased Productivity 15-20% Up to 50% for piece pick Increased Safety Heads up awareness Reduced Training Time 50% Voice leads workers through a process Quick user uptake - higher productivity Reduced auditing man-hours New Infrastructure Challenges Lower tolerance for delays and latency “Screen interaction delays” not acceptable Frustration will cause a change in voice which can further reduce voice recognition accuracy 8

CONSISTENT PERFORMANCE
What’s the Problem? CONSISTENT PERFORMANCE AT ANY RANGE Wi-Fi is undependable, signal strength erratic Performance is inconsistent Signals don’t reach, coverage is spotty Warehouse and DC environment is RF dynamic WLAN systems are costly, cumbersome and complex 9 9
10
Enter Smart Wi-Fi from Ruckus
Unmatched performance at range Dual-Band n indoor/outdoor APs with adaptive antenna technology 1. Half the deployment time at half the cost 2. 100% performance increase over any other n WLANs Scalable Smart WLAN controllers Flexible, scalable, feature-rich WLANs Robust and ultra-simple to use applications Smarter WLAN applications Complete remote control over remote APs and WLANs Remote Wi-Fi systems manager
11
What’s the Big Difference?
THEM US Dynamic 1:many relationship between Wi-Fi radios and antennas Fixed 1:1 relationship between Wi-Fi radios and antennas
12
What’s Smart Wi-Fi? Interference Patented technology that combines
Smart antenna arrays Best path selection algorithms Advanced quality of service engine Smart mesh RF routing Centralized Wi-Fi management Adapts to real-time changes in environmental conditions Extends signal range (Wi-Fi coverage) 2 to 4 times with fewer APs Delivers predictable performance Radically simplifies deployment and administration Interference
13
More Than Just Smarter Radios
More users and usable capacity More video streams; better voice quality Differentiated policies - automatically SmartCast QoS Scalable coverage and capacity Self-organizing; flexible deployment Address hard to reach areas Smart Meshing Improves user experience Simplifies device management Simple, robust security with Dynamic PSK as with 3G offload, successful last-mile Wi-Fi requires much more than just strong individual AP performance FlexConnect Zero-IT Client Activation Centralized configuration and reporting Multi-tenant support for managed services Scalable to 100,000s APs FlexMaster

Extending Performance at Range
Adaptive Antennas and Transmit Beamforming Working Together 9dB 6dB 3dB SIGNAL TO INTEFERENCE PLUS NOISE (SINR) IMPROVEMENT > 9dB OF INTEFERENCE MITIGATION 15dB OF >
15
Adaptive Polarization Diversity
5x Device orientation accounts for up to 5x performance differential among products Better reception (PD-MRC) for weak and hard to “hear” devices Better transmission to devices constantly changing their orientation HORIZONTAL POLARIZATION VERTICAL POLARIZATION
