Is BeamFlex a standards-based technology?
Yes. BeamFlex applies MIMO diversity techniques to standards-based 802.11 b/g technologies to eliminate dead spots, increase range and performance for all standard 802.11b/g devices. Any 802.11 b/g client station that associates with a BeamFlex powered AP can instantly benefit from the increased range and throughput, with no configuration changes required on the client. Ruckus Wireless will extend BeamFlex support for other standards-based 802.11 technologies, including 802.11a and future 802.11n. Unlike all other approaches, BeamFlex gives users all the benefits of MIMO without the cost or complexity. BeamFlex overlays any existing 802.11 chipset giving equipment manufactures complete extensibility to future 802.11 technologies.
