SMART-RF – Overview

Thursday, February 13, 2014 8:00 AM
Smart (Self Monitoring At Run Time) RF:
•         Next generation RF Management feature
•         Selects the optimal initial channel and power level to automate AP deployment
•         Intelligently adapts to changes in the RF environment to eliminate unforeseen gaps in coverage.
Why do I need it?
•         Traditionally wireless LANs have been difficult to deploy with network architects having to manually determine channels and power levels per AP
•         RF environment constantly changes and the network architects had to manually change configuration to fix post deployment coverage issues

And there are a few other things…

SMART-RF – Benefits
1)     Automatically selects optimal channel and power settings for APs across a cluster of switches.
2)     Creates a channel balanced distribution of AP’s
3)     Counters Wi-Fi and Non-Wi-Fi Interference
4)     Eliminates dead spots in RF coverage.
5)     Insures against loss of coverage due to sudden AP Failure
6)     Mitigates Co-Channel Interference so that APs don’t interfere with each other.
7)     Automatically creates ‘Micro-cell’ for high density deployments
8)     Minimum Configuration Knobs so Network IT doesn’t waste time ‘tuning’ the algorithm.
9)     Flexible implementation allows locking AP channel, power or role if changes are not desired.
10)Network Administrators can review SMART-RF actions through SMART-RF History.
11)Takes the guesswork out of number and placement of rogue AP detectors by automatically selecting rogue AP detectors.

SMART-RF – Operation
1)     Automatically assigns channels and power for radios
2)     Automatically elects Rogue Detector AP’s
3)     Works across Cluster of switches
4)     Currently designed for AP-300 and AP-650 Access Points managed by RFS4000/RFS6000/RFS7000 switch controllers

SMART-RF – Cluster Operation


SMART-RF – Summary
•         SMART RF makes Secure RF deployment easy by automatically selecting rogue AP detectors
•         SMART RF Calibration provides a powerful and flexible RF engine to periodically compute the optimal channel and power values for all APs
•         SMART RF relies on high level metrics like data rates and retries that are easily understood by Network administrators
•         Finally an RF Management algorithm that can be left turned ON!
