Ruckus was first-to-market with Wave 2 APs in <span class=\"xn-chron\">April 2015<\/span>, and will now have the industry&#8217;s broadest Wave 2 portfolio. All Ruckus Wave 2 APs combine MU-MIMO with Ruckus&#8217; patented <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ruckuswireless.com\/technology\/beamflex\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">BeamFlex+<\/a>\u2122 adaptive antenna technology and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ruckuswireless.com\/technology\/channelfly\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">ChannelFly<\/a>\u2122 predictive channel selection to deliver the highest performance Wi-Fi possible, optimizing signals for every client and transmission.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">&#8220;Wave 2 is quickly becoming the high-performance Wi-Fi standard, especially when combined with patented Ruckus innovations like BeamFlex+ technology,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Greg Beach<\/span>, vice president of product management, Ruckus Wireless Business Unit at Brocade. &#8220;The early adopters across retail, hospitality and education are seeing tremendous benefits as they rely on Smart Wi-Fi\u2122 to engage customers, deliver services and run their businesses. With today&#8217;s new indoor and outdoor access points, we&#8217;re excited to take Wave 2 mainstream for any enterprise or service provider deployment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The new products include:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify\" type=\"disc\">\n<li><b>Ruckus ZoneFlex\u2122 T710 access point<\/b> \u2013 An outdoor version of the industry-first Wave 2 R710 AP delivering multi-gigabit Wi-Fi performance and unprecedented client capacity. The T710 includes four dual-band antennas\u2014utilizing BeamFlex+ adaptive antenna technology\u2014along with interfaces for Ethernet and fiber backhaul, plus built-in GPS for ease of location and inventory management, making it a flexible platform for enterprise and service provider outdoor deployments.<\/li>\n<li><b>Ruckus ZoneFlex R510 access point<\/b> \u2013 A Wave 2 version of Ruckus&#8217; most popular indoor AP (R500). The R510 is a competitively priced AP for mid-market customers, featuring two dual-band anntennas (also utilizing BeamFlex+ technology) that combine MU-MIMO to service more devices with the highest efficiency. Unlike competing products that require expensive switch upgrades to accommodate higher power requirements, the R510 can work with existing 802.3af-capable Ethernet switches.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Both APs can be managed by Ruckus <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ruckuswireless.com\/products\/system-management-control\/zonedirector-controllers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">ZoneDirector<\/a>\u2122 and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ruckuswireless.com\/products\/system-management-control\/smartzone\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">SmartZone<\/a>\u2122 controllers. ZoneDirector and SmartZone are software platforms for managing wireless networks, including user access controls, guest networking functions, advanced Wi-Fi security and traffic management. As part of today&#8217;s announcement, Ruckus is upgrading SmartZone to version 3.4 with new features for self-optimizing Wi-Fi networks, remote network management, simplified installation of new APs, and Amazon Web Services support. Ruckus is also upgrading ZoneDirector to version 9.13 to enable even better network installation and management.
