Giving Companies What They Want Most — Wireless That Works.

Laptop HeadacheWhen it comes to Wi-Fi, enterprises users are sick and tired of unstable connections, dropped packets, and erratic performance. They need a smarter wireless LAN (WLAN) system that provides way better coverage, capacity, and reliability. They want all the bells and whistles of high-end WLAN, in a system that’s more affordable and easier to deploy and manage. Such a system has been impossible to find – until now.

Enter ZoneFlex from Ruckus Wireless.

ZoneFlex is the completely adaptive Smart WLAN system that offers enterprises the power they crave – and the simplicity they need – with:

Effortless everything, as it’s fully pluggable, meshable, and easy to install/configure/expand, with automatic client administration and advanced security, too
Best Wi-Fi on the planet, through WLAN-wide optimum signal path selection, automatic WLAN-wide interference avoidance, and WLAN-wide automatic RF coordination to adapt to the constantly-changing Wi-Fi environment
Unmatched value for money, as enterprises gain all the feature/functionality of a high-end system (and more), with fewer access points for lower CAPEX, and easier management for lower OPEX

No other WLAN combines smart meshing, dynamic user security, adaptive RF signal routing, 802.11n, and centralized management – all within a secure, scalable, and simple-to-use platform. It all adds up to the highest possible performance everywhere, everytime. Which is why more enterprises are taking full advantage Ruckus solution advantages.

The Smart Wi-Fi Antenna Technology That Steers Signals to High-Quality Paths.

For greater speed, fewer errors, and instant bandwidth delivery, BeamFlex offers first-of-its-kind smart antenna technology that maximizes signal coverage, throughput, and network capacity. It delivers MIMO benefits to 802.11a/b/g/n devices, to further increase MIMO diversity gain and maximize spatial multiplexing potential—at minimal cost.

BeamFlex consists of a smart, compact antenna array with multiple elements, which can be combined in real time to form unique antenna patterns. The advanced BeamFlex system software continually learns the environment with all its hostilities and interference sources, including disruptive RF conditions, numerous communicating devices, network performance issues, and application flows. Then, it selects the optimum antenna pattern for each communicating device in real time, while actively avoiding interference and minimizing noise to nearby networks and devices.

BeamFlex AntennaBeamFlex offers:

Over 3X increase in performance and range
8X expanded coverage
Stabilized wireless network performance, for picture-perfect video streaming and crystal-clear voice communications
Maximized power efficiency
Interference mitigation

Unlike omni-directional antennas that radiate signals in all directions, BeamFlex directs transmit energy towards the best path to the receiving device. And unlike fixed-positioned directional antennas, BeamFlex dynamically configures its "beam" on a per-station, per-packet basis, to achieve omni-directional coverage.
