The Ruckus ZoneFlex 7962, the industry's top performing dual-band 802.11n access point with adaptive antenna technology, delivers ultra-high speed, reliable and longest-range connectivity within challenging RF environments. The ZoneFlex 7962 is based on adaptive antenna technology that extends signal range two to four times while minimizing packet loss by constantly routing Wi-Fi transmissions over the highest performing signal paths. The world's only enterprise-class AP that concurrently supports Automatic Interference Mitigation (AIM), spatial multiplexing and adaptive antenna technology, the ZoneFlex 7962 delivers the industry's most solid 802.11n performance at range. Because the ZoneFlex 7962 is able to constantly find the best RF paths for each packet, once deployed, enterprises never have to worry about constant site surveys as the environment changes. Using Ruckus' breakthrough ChannelFly dynamic channel management, ZoneFlex 7962 automatically select the best channel that will give users the highest throughput. Measuring not only interference but throughput as well, ChannelFly analyzes trends in the RF environment over time. When a significant drop in throughput arises, ZoneFlex APs react by automatically switching to the channel that offers the best client throughput potential. Channel change notifications orchestrate a coordinated change with connected clients, ensuring no client left behind. The ZoneFlex 7962 is also the only 802.11n product purpose-built for hotels, schools and enterprises that enables high-definition IPTV, video-on-demand and other video applications while supporting VoIP and data applications for guests and employees. Ideal for multimedia and high-density user environments, the ZoneFlex 7962 can be deployed as a standalone access point or as part of centrally-controlled Smart Wireless LAN with the Ruckus ZoneDirector. Smart Mesh Networking, another unique feature, makes the ZoneFlex 7962 perfect for reliably extending wireless LAN services to areas where cabling Ethernet isn't possible or economical - saving time and money. With dual radios, the ZoneFlex 7962 delivers high-performance throughout the mesh network. The ZoneFlex 7962 is also perfect for service providers interested in delivering high-performance multimedia hotspots, hotzones and managed services. Coupled with the Ruckus FlexMaster Wi-Fi management platform, the ZoneFlex 7962 opens the door for extending branded broadband services and new revenue-generating services. Benefits:
Highest performance at range - Adaptive antenna technology enables Wi-Fi signals to be constantly formed and directed over the best performing signal paths thereby ensuring the lowest packet loss and highest performance at range. Extended coverage means fewer APs - Directional, high-gain antennas dynamically combine to give hotspot operators and enterprises 2- to 4-times the coverage over typical consumer and enterprise APs. Wire-like reliability - Advanced smart antenna array and Quality of Service (QoS) technology combine to deliver the industry’s most reliable and highest performing 802.11n system available. Concurrent support for high-definition IP video, voice and data - A directional, high-gain antenna finds the best path for any given transmission allowing unprecedented support for picture perfect high-definition video, crystal clear voice and high speed data. Channel selection optimizes throughput - ChannelFly dynamic channel management, based on throughput measurements, not just interference, chooses the best channel to give users the highest throughput. Distributed forwarding architecture eliminates bottlenecks - Standalone or controller-based, traffic is not forced through the controller eliminating any single point of failure or performance bottleneck. Simple extension of WLAN services - Integrated support for Smart Mesh Networking gives enterprise the power to easily extend WLAN services wherever needed and without having to run costly and cumbersome Ethernet cabling to every AP. Investment protection for legacy Wi-Fi networks - The ZoneFlex 7962 gives enterprises protection over their wireless investments by enhancing 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. Enables new class of provider hotspots services - New revenue opportunities for operators such as Voice-over-WLAN services, extended enterprise access and IP video applications. |
