And it gets better.

Ruckus Smart/OS is widely-considered the most simple and straight forward centralized WLAN software system there is. Ruckus Smart/OS runs on all our ZoneDirector Smart WLAN controllers and uses a highly-intuitive Web user interface to make configuration and administration of the entire WLAN a breeze.

ZoneSwitch:

Enterprise-Class Power over Ethernet Gigabit LAN switch

Enterprises can easily and affordably build high-speed Ruckus ZoneFlex 802.11n wireless networks that deliver wire-like reliability and consistent performance at range, which drives the need for fully-managed, rack-mountable, Layer 2, 24-port 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet POE switches. The ZoneSwitch 4000 series are cost effective solutions ideal for enterprise deployment at the edge of the network. Completely interoperable with Ruckus ZoneFlex APs, the 4224 supports 24 concurrent IEEE 802.3at connections across all ports. The ZoneSwitch 4124 supports 24 concurrent IEEE 802.3af connections.

ZoneFlex Outdoor Access Points:

The Fastest Outdoor Wi-Fi Access Points There Are — Delivering Range, Reliability with Dynamic Beamforming

ZoneFlex outdoor access points uniquely combine dynamic beamforming and adaptive meshing to enable a new level of outdoor performance at the lowest cost. Built to withstand the harshest of outdoor conditions, they’re designed with the flexibility to function as standalone APs or as managed devices, using the same wireless controller as their indoor Smart Wi-Fi products. If no Ethernet cabling is available, the outdoor AP meshes seamlessly with the indoor access points. Unprecedented 802.11n performance enables connections of 150Mbps or more between mesh nodes at distances of up to 300 meters or more. Unlike any other outdoor Wi-Fi device today, it provides advanced interference avoidance and rejection to ensure the highest resilience for both client and inter-node mesh connections.

ZoneFlex outdoor access points are ideal for hotels and resorts covering pool areas, for schools and stadiums covering sports facilities, and for general enterprises covering shipping docks and other outdoor areas where Ethernet cabling is not possible. Service providers can easily extend branded broadband services, offload bulky data traffic from congested 3G networks, deploy multimedia hotspots, or offer wireless DSL services where fixed line access is limited. ZoneFlex outdoor access points provide advanced interference avoidance and rejection to ensure the highest resilience for both client and inter-node mesh connections. Customers now have a simple-to-use Smart Wi-Fi environment that provides extended range, simple deployment, reliable connectivity and consistent performance at range outdoors. Now THAT’S interesting.
