Ruckus claims that two major issues have prevented service providers from deploying Wi-Fi as a utility network in consumers' homes: unstable performance affecting the quality of delay-sensitive applications such as streaming video and the inability to remotely identify and diagnose WiFi related problems as consumers experience them. Ruckus already offers a wireless technology, MediaFlex, a wireless LAN technology claimed to be an advance on standard WiFi which it says has been deployed by over 50 service providers worldwide in their production IPTV rollouts or home trials. According to Ruckus, it is "the only proven solution for in-home distribution of IPTV over standard Wi-Fi." Ruckus claims that, unlike consumer-grade Wi-Fi devices, the Ruckus MediaFlex was developed as "an industrial-strength smart Wi-Fi system that automatically adapts to the changing RF characteristics within the home using state-of-the-art, patent-pending smart antenna and quality of service technologies." |
