Ruckus Expand their 11AC Portfolio with New Indoor and Outdoor Units

[Net-Ctrl]

Ruckus Wireless has announced the expansion of its line of Smart 802.11ac ZoneFlex™ access points (APs) with the launch of four new models. These include the new Ruckus ZoneFlex R500 (2x2:2) and ZoneFlex R600(3x3:3) indoor dual-band (2.4/5 GHz) mid-range models, and two new Ruckus ZoneFlex T300 Series outdoor 802.11ac APs, the ZoneFlex T300e omnidirectional model, which includes support for optional external 5 GHz antennas, and the ZoneFlex T301s 120 degree sectorized beam model with a sector adaptive antenna.

 

They all feature Ruckus BeamFlex+ technology, which provides a stronger device signal by adapting to a mobile device’s orientation and location. BeamFlex+ can enhance the user experience by helping to ensure a consistent wireless signal. Without it, changing client device orientation can cause up to a 2.5x performance difference. For example, this can mean a change from 25 Mbps to 10 Mbps. BeamFlex+ eliminates this variability and is designed to ensure optimum performance for any client device orientation.

 

They also feature ChannelFly™ dynamic channel management technology for predictive channel selection based on real-time capacity analysis of all RF channels. The new outdoor ZoneFlex T300 Series APs also feature the industry’s smallest and lightest form factors.

 

You can find out a bit more about the launches from the Ruckus press release on our website, where you will also be able to download datasheets.

Once we have our Apple MacBook Pro's with Retina Display and 802.11ac chipsets we will be looking at adding some 11ac AP's to our school wifi.
