Manage wireless channel planning automatically

ChannelFly active channel management technology improves wireless performance by dynamically switching clients to better channels when a channel starts to degrade. Working hand-in-hand with the BeamFlex® smart antenna system, it intelligently samples all channels, assesses channel capacity, and changes channels when, based on historical data, a different channel is likely to offer higher capacity than the current channel.

ChannelFly technology allows RUCKUS access points (APs) to push client devices to the best-performing channel without user or network administrators needing to manually intervene. Using patented algorithms, this automatic channel-switching technology helps maximize network performance while minimizing interference.

When ChannelFly technology changes channels, it utilizes 802.11h channel change announcements to seamlessly change channels with no packet loss and minimal impact on performance. The 802.11h channel change announcements affect the wireless clients and RUCKUS mesh nodes in the 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz bands.

 

 

 

Benefits

RUCKUS-Web-Icons_Channel-Management

Real-time channel management  

With ChannelFly technology, each RUCKUS AP intelligently samples the spectrum while using them for service. By assessing interference every 15 seconds and reviewing historical data, it can select a different band that’s likely to offer higher capacity than other existing channels—mitigating the need for a network administrator to manually configure client devices.

RUCKUS-Web-Icons_Increased-Throughput (1)

More capacity and throughput

By working in tandem with BeamFlex adaptive antenna technology, ChannelFly technology delivers higher capacity and unprecedented throughput. By working in tandem, the ChannelFly and BeamFlex solutions can help RUCKUS APs achieve up to twice the capacity of competitive alternatives.
