Ruckus ZoneFlex 7762-S

Ruckus ZoneFlex 7762 Overview:

World’s First Concurrent 2.4/5GHz 802.11n Access Point with Dynamic Beam forming and Smart Wi-Fi Meshing

The Ruckus ZoneFlex 7762 Series represents a completely new class of outdoor Wi-Fi products that unleashes the promise of 802.11n — delivering unparalleled simplicity, throughput, range

The ZoneFlex 7762 Series is the first dual-band 802.11n outdoor access point (AP) to integrate adaptive antenna technology to enable much longer range signals, better signal penetration inside buildings, and more resilient mesh connections that automatically adapt to interference and changing environmental conditions.

Supporting advanced Smart Mesh Networking, the Ruckus ZoneFlex 7762 Series is perfect for service providers looking to quickly and economically expand branded broadband services, offload data traffic from congested 3G networks, deploy multimedia hotspots or offer wireless broadband services where fixed line access is limited. Separate radios for access and backhaul traffic deliver high-throughput to clients throughout the mesh network.

The ZoneFlex 7762 Series is also ideal for hotels, resorts, multidwelling units, schools, warehouses and other enterprises needing to deliver broadband access from the outside in or to extend managed wireless LANs (WLANs) outdoors where Ethernet cabling is

The ZoneFlex 7762 Series can be centrally managed by the ZoneDirector Smart WLAN controller as part of a unified indoor/ outdoor wireless LAN or deployed as a standalone AP and managed individually or through the FlexMaster remote Wi-Fi

The ZoneFlex 7762 Series implements Ruckus-patented BeamFlex™ smart antenna technology that enables consistent, high-performance, extended coverage and multimedia support. Ruckus ChannelFly dynamic channel management optimizes client throughput by selecting the best channel to operate on. A Webbased wizard allows any computer user to configure ZoneFlex 7762 Series through the ZoneDirector™ — creating a secure and sophisticated WLAN in a matter of minutes.

Ruckus ZoneFlex 7762 Series simply plug into any Ethernet network and automatically discover the ZoneDirector. No RF tuning, no client configuration needed. A true plug-and-play outdoor WLAN that is ready to use.

Benefits:
