Ruckus AP 7300 series vs 7942

[Disease]

Thinking of implementing a Ruckus wireless network, whats the main difference between te 7300's and the 7942's?

Is there any advantage with one over the other?

Thanks

Hi Disease,

The 7300 series Dual band and Single band AP's are not only more cost effective than the older model 7942 and 7962 AP's but also benefit from more antenna's and a lower profile ,

I have also below copied some marketing infomation for you,

The Ruckus ZoneFlex 7300 series delivers high-performance
and reliable 802.11n wireless networking at the industry’s
most affordable price point.
Unlike any other 802.11n wireless solution in its class, the
ZoneFlex 7300 combines patented dynamic beamforming
and automatic interference mitigation to deliver consistent,
predictable performance at extended ranges with 4dBi of
signal gain and 10dB of interference rejection.
The ZoneFlex 7300 delivers a 2- to 4-fold increase in signal
range with lower packet error rates while reducing the number
of APs required to deliver dependable Wi-Fi service.
Each ZoneFlex 7300 integrates Ruckus-patented BeamFlex,
a software-controlled, high gain antenna array that continually
forms and directs each 802.11n packet over the
best performing signal path. And because the ZoneFlex
7300 automatically adapts to environmental changes, once
deployed, enterprises never have to worry about constant
site surveys as the environment changes.
A sleek and low-profile design, the ZoneFlex 7300 was
purpose-built for cost-minded enterprises requiring reliable
high speed client connectivity. It is ideal for a variety
of enterprise and hotspot environments including hotels,
schools, retail outlets, branch offices and public venues.
Offered in single and dual band models, the ZoneFlex 7300
series can be deployed as a standalone access point or as
part of the centrally-controlled Smart Wireless LAN with the
Ruckus ZoneDirector. The ZoneFlex 7300 can also be easily
deployed using Smart Mesh Networking to extend Wi-Fi
services in locations where Ethernet cabling is not available
or cost prohibitive.
Standard 802.3af power over Ethernet (PoE) leverages
existing PoE switches eliminating costly and cumbersome
upgrades.

BENEFITS
Best-in-class performance at lowest cost
Unprecedented price/performance with extended range at the
industry’s most affordable price point for both single and dual-band
Extended range requires fewer APs
Dynamic beamforming delivers a 2x to 4x increase in Wi-Fi signal
coverage minimizing the number of APs required to service any area
Wire-like wireless reliability
Patented smart antenna array, beamforming and Quality of Service
technologies combine to avoid interference and minimize packet loss
Sleek, low profile enclosure for ease-of-deployment
Aesthetically-pleasing design fits almost anywhere
Super simple configuration and management
The industry’s simplest configuration and management through
a Web-based wizard and automated deployment capabilities
Flexible deployment options

When used with a ZoneDirector Smart WLAN controller, the ZoneFlex
7300 easily extends Wi-Fi services to areas where Ethernet cabling isn’t
available, possible or cost effective
Investment protection for legacy Wi-Fi networks
Compatible with existing wireless investments, the ZoneFlex 7300 series
enhances performance and range for legacy 802.11a/b/g clients
Hassle free migration to higher speed Wi-Fi
Support for standard 802.3af power over Ethernet allows enterprises
to use existing PoE switches without costly upgrades
Multiple Ethernet ports and optional USB connector
Three Ethernet ports enable connectivity of wired devices, an optional
USB connector can be used for WAN resiliency using a 3G dongle
