Metal Wall How BeamFlex Works BeamFlex antenna directs Wi-Fi signals to clients Automatically adapts to moves, adds and changes Automatically rejects Interference Steers signals around impenetrable obstacles ZoneFlex AP Fewer APs reach farther, faster, for more users AUTOMATICALLY! Auto power & channel adjustment as RF control of last resort 8
Network BeamFlex Advantage Typical APs with Omni Antennas BeamFlex-equipped APs Energy wasted radiating everywhere Reduces coverage radius Causes neighbor AP interference Need constant AP power adjustments Overhead on WLAN controller Never perfect in dynamic environments Energy focused toward each destination farther coverage, fewer APs Built-in interference avoidance between neighbor APs AP power adjustment by ZoneDirector only a last resort 11
Network BeamFlex ZoneFlex AP Mesh Simplifies Deployment and Expansion Hotel Add capacity and coverage as needed Reduces cost of wired backhauls Auto topology with BeamFlex smart path selection algorithm Self-organizing/self healing Auto RF: beam-steering, centralized channel and power coordination Secure encrypted backhauls 10 APs per wireless cluster Up to 3 hops 802.11g, n support 12

Important Breakthroughs Network BeamFlex Minute Config Dramatic price/value 21
22 Effortless WLAN Configuration Initial Set-Up in 5 Minutes or Less with Minute Config
Easy to Deploy ZoneDirector(s) simply attach to any network switch (no changes required) ZoneFlex 2942 ZoneFlex APs simply attach to the Ethernet network, automatically discover the ZoneDirector, and self-configure RADIUS/AD FlexDirector Router Firewall IDS Internet 23
Easy to Manage At-a-Glance Complete Wireless LAN Management Customizable Drag and drop Comprehensive Brain-dead simple 24
Authentication in Three Easy Steps Create Authentication Server (AD, RADIUS, or Local DB) Customize Captive portal Enable Web auth for relevant WLAN (per WLAN configuration) 25
How It Works 1. End-user associates with WLAN and follows normal authentication and encryption process ZoneFlex 2942 2. Traffic is tunneled to the ZoneDirector 3. User opens a browser and is redirected to a Captive Portal page 4 ZoneDirector authenticates user against the specified auth server RADIUS/AD ZoneDirector Router 5. End-user authenticated and gains access to the network Internet Firewall IDS 26
Adding Per-User Security Minute Config with Dynamic PSK The Problem: Provisioning secure wireless access Using one pre-shared key is not secure (e.g. employee leaving requires changing key for all employees) 802.1x is an expensive overkill not common in SMB market Minimal IT resources prevent manual configuration of each PC with a new key The Zoneflex Solution: IT Free config and dynamic PSK Automatic provisioning of pre-shared keys to end-users without any windows configuration by the user or IT Staff Highly secure: unique 63-byte passphrase per employee Can easily be deactivated when an employee leaves New key can be generated periodically Configuration per WLAN 28
How Minute Config with Dynamic PSK Works 1. First time user connects via Ethernet to LAN ZoneFlex 2942 2. User opens browser and specifies URL to automatically activate unique PSK 3. Once logged in, the ZoneDirector autoprovisions and installs the requisite WLAN settings and a dynamic PSK in the user s wireless settings RADIUS/AD ZoneDirector 4 Users can now connect securely use the WLAN without any configuration or IT support Router Internet Firewall IDS 29
