Overview:
The Industry’s First Outdoor 802.11ac AP with BeamFlex+ designed for High Density Venues
The ZoneFlex T301 Series Unleashed enable controller-less Wi-Fi architecture for small business environments with superior performance, lower costs and simplified management. Separate controllers and access point licenses are no longer needed, significantly reducing upfront costs. Set up is also easy, thanks to a simplified web interface that helps businesses configure Wi-Fi in just 60 seconds.
The ZoneFlex T301 Series are the first dual-band 802.11ac outdoor access points (AP) designed explicitly for high density user environments such as stadiums, arenas, train stations, convention centers, and major metro areas.
The T301 Series are the only 802.11ac access points on the market to integrate patented BeamFlex™ technology. The T301 Series has internal high gain directional antennas to provide directed coverage solutions eliminating the need for bulky panel antennas and confusing and expensive external RF cabling. The T301 Series enable focused Wi-Fi coverage to mitigate interference and implicitly improve signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) in the most challenging RF environments.
In addition, the T301 Series uniquely leverages a predictive model for channel selection (ChannelFly) that uses actual activity to learn what channels will yield the most capacity to provide the highest client speeds and reduced interference.
Designed for easy installation within an ultra lightweight and low profile enclosure, the T301 Series is ideal for venue owners looking to quickly and economically deploy Wi-Fi in high-capacity environments such as stadiums, arenas, train stations, convention centers, and major metro areas. Using directed coverage, the APs can be deployed in close proximity, mitigating co-channel interference. This is critical as high density deployments require a large number of APs within a fixed space.

RUCKUS Unleashed:
Controller-less Access Point Solution for SMB
Smart devices are playing a critical role in influencing customer decisions and behaviors. While Wi-Fi devices have become an absolute requirement for customers and employees, small to midsize businesses (SMBs) are challenged to deploy a reliable wireless network within a limited budget and little to no IT staff.
RUCKUS Unleashed is a controller-less wireless LAN solution that enables SMBs to deliver an optimal wireless experience at an affordable price point. Configured in 60 seconds and deployed in minutes, RUCKUS Unleashed eliminates the complexity pitfall of a controller-based WLAN. With easy migration options to the RUCKUS ZoneDirector, SmartZone or future RUCKUS platforms, RUCKUS Unleashed scales with your business. Now SMBs can deliver a Wi-Fi user experience with high RF performance and network resiliency.
With 802.11ac RUCKUS Unleashed access points (AP), users can take advantage of higher speeds, better coverage, and improved reliability. Unleashed APs include key RUCKUS technologies, such as BeamFlex+ Adaptive Antenna Technology to maximize signal coverage, throughput, and network capacity, and ChannelFly, our predictive capacity management for RF channel selection. And Zero-IT enables easy device onboarding with several key guest features, such as guest WLAN access, captive portal, Guest Pass, and Custom Logo, to provide key value add services to users.
With Unleashed, each AP in the network will actively serve clients. And this controller-less solution supports single location deployments, up to 25 APs and/or 512 clients.
Simple Deployment
The Unleashed WLAN network can be set up in a matter of minutes, eliminating the need for large IT staff. There are 3 simple steps to set up the Unleashed network:
- Simply power on the Unleashed access points
- Connect to the Unleashed AP via open SSID or DNS
- Easily configure one master access point using the Unleashed online wizard
When configuring the network, a standby AP will be chosen automatically. This ensures resiliency in the network. Additionally, all member APs will automatically discover and join the master.
Take advantage of a low-cost controller-less solution
- No expert IT staff required
- Save time with a fast deployment and easy network management
- No AP license, controller or cloud subscription including support and trouble shooting is required
Network Investment Protection
58% of SMBs are expected to grow within 6-12 months. With RUCKUS Unleashed, SMBs can easily migrate to the ZoneDirector, SmartZone, or future RUCKUS platforms. There is flexibility to choose virtual or physical appliances to best meet business needs. Now is the time to deploy a network that grows with your business.
Who can take advantage of RUCKUS Unleashed?
RUCKUS Unleashed is ideal for SMBs who are interested in providing high RF performance Wi-Fi that is easy to deploy, at a low price. Furthermore, Unleashed is a scalable solution, which meets the growing needs of the SMB market.
A small deployment with up to 512 devices, such as a hotel, individual and independent retailers, warehousing and local services such as private insurance/title companies is ideal for Unleashed. In this segment, retailers have limited budget and little to no IT staff to manage the network. RUCKUS Unleashed enables them to provide a reliable network in addition to value-add services, such as guest access, captive portal and Hotspot/WISPr.
