RUCKUS ZoneFlex Overview
Smart Wireless LAN Systems

ZoneFlex is a centrally-managed Smart Wireless LAN (WLAN) system designed for enterprises that need robust, reliable and adaptable Wi-Fi at the lowest total cost of ownership. Unlike conventional WLAN systems that are costly, complex and cumbersome, the RUCKUS Zoneflex system is perfect for enterprises with limited IT staff and budgets but still require a high performance, centrally-managed WLAN that is simple to install and simpler to manage.

ZoneFlex is the only “Smart” WLAN system available today that combines advanced Wi-Fi signal routing with wireless meshing and centralized management. The smarts come from patented hardware and software technologies that deliver predictable performance, extended range and real-time adaptability to changing Wi-Fi environments.

Completely standards-based, all RUCKUS Smart Wi-Fi products feature state-of-the-art smart antenna arrays and RF traffic engineering software, dynamic best path signal selection, Automatic Interference Mitigation (AIM), Smart mesh networking, per client, per traffic-flow based Quality of Service (QoS), and robust automated security.

The unique combination of these capabilities helps enterprises realizes two to four times the Wi-Fi coverage with fewer access points that deliver wire-like connections to clients — automatically adapting to environmental changes in real time. The result is simple: more consistent Wi-Fi performance at range. What’s more, ZoneFlex is widely considered the easiest-to-use WLAN system on the market today.

ZoneDirector FamilyThe First Smart Wireless LAN Solution

The RUCKUS flagship enterprise product line, ZoneFlex, is the industry’s first centrally- controlled Smart WLAN system.

ZoneFlex was purposely-designed to fill the market gap between costly and complex high-end WLAN switching systems and cheap, low-end consumer-grade Wi-Fi products.

An affordable, purpose-built “Smart” WLAN
ZoneFlex is a simple but feature-rich WLAN system purposely designed for enterprises that need an easy-to-use Wi-Fi system that is reliable, extensible and economical - often competing requirements, until now.

The ZoneFlex family includes a line of Smart Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n access points (APs) for indoor/outdoor deployment, along with a line of scalable ZoneDirector™ Smart WLAN controllers that manage from 6 to 250 ZoneFlex Smart Wi-Fi APs.

ZoneFlex is ideal for hotels, hospitals, schools, branch offices, retail environments, warehouses, airports and any enterprise environment where high user densities and Wi-Fi reliability are fundamental concerns.

Better range and reliability with adaptive RF controls
Each ZoneFlex AP integrates patented beam forming and beam steering technology called BeamFlex™. This adaptive Smart Wi-Fi technology automatically and continuously routes Wi-Fi signals over the best performing signal paths to each client, ensuring the highest possible performance and lowest packet error rates.

Smart Wi-Fi meshing saves time and money
Smart Mesh Networking, a standard feature, allows reliable and adaptive connections to be automatically created between ZoneFlex Smart Wi-Fi APs using only wireless (RF) connections. This allows enterprises to extend or create WLANs without having to pull Ethernet cables to every AP thereby speeding deployment times and reducing traditional operational costs. Nothing to configure, nothing to do other than find a power outlet for APs, plug them in and walk away. ZoneFlex does the rest.

Ultra simple configuration, deployment, management
Designed for simplicity and ease of use, ZoneFlex can be deployed and operated by non-wireless experts. Any organization with little or no IT staff can quickly and easily deploy a robust and secure multimedia WLAN using the Web-based management console in under five minutes. The Web-based GUI is available with multiple language support.
