Overview:
802.11ac AP with BeamFlex+ for Cost-Effective Deployments in High Density Outdoor Venues
At stadiums, transit hubs, smart cities, and other crowded outdoor public venues, users want the same fast, reliable Wi-Fi connectivity they expect in their homes or offices. For operators, however, delivering that can be immensely challenging—and expensive.
The RUCKUS T310 Series of 802.11ac Wave 2 access points provides industry-leading RUCKUS wireless performance in an economical, industrial-grade form factor designed for crowded outdoor locations. These ultra-lightweight, low-profile APs feature internal omni-directional or high-gain directional antennas for specific coverage, eliminating the need for bulky panel antennas and confusing and expensive external RF cabling.
Choose from either omni, 30-degree narrow beam or 120-degree sector antennas to enable fast, low-cost installation, extended range, and best-in-class throughput in the most challenging outdoor environments.
The T310d, s, n models have a USB 2.0 port to support additional RF technologies such as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and optional DC power source for use with solar cell deployment.
Modern Wi-Fi device users expect reliable connectivity—anywhere, anytime.
But in crowded outdoor venues with thousands of users and constant RF noise,
they are often frustrated by poor coverage, dropped connections, and reduced
data rates. These aggravating Wi-Fi experiences can easily translate to negative
perceptions of the venue and the service provider, resulting in loss of business.
The quality of the network experience becomes the “litmus test” for acceptance
or rejection.
As the market leader in outdoor Wi-Fi deployments, RUCKUS knows that one AP
solution cannot meet every possible challenge of varied and complex outdoor
requirements. This is why the RUCKUS T310 802.11ac Wave 2 series is designed
with more variety than any other outdoor AP in the market today. Available
with either internal omni-directional antennas or internal high-gain directional
antenna models, the T310 Series uses patented RUCKUS antenna optimization
and interference mitigation technologies to improve throughput, connection
reliability, and deliver industry-leading 802.11ac Wave 2 performance to every
connected client. At the same time, the T310 Series is designed for fast, simple
installation with an ultra-lightweight, low profile, IP-67 rated enclosure that can
stand up to the most challenging outdoor environments.
At Ruckus, we know that outdoor AP deployments are especially challenging for
installation and maintenance, which is why RUCKUS outdoor APs use a variety of
technologies, like SmartMesh that help simplify outdoor AP deployment.
The RUCKUS T310 Series is perfect for high-density outdoor public venues such
as airports, convention centers, plazas, malls, smart cities, and other dense
urban environments. By providing a superior Wi-Fi experience to every user in
high-density outdoor locations, venue operators can improve guest satisfaction
and loyalty, deliver new kinds of wireless application services, and increase
revenues.
The RUCKUS T310 Series incorporates patented technologies found only in the
RUCKUS Wi-Fi portfolio.
- Extended coverage with patented BeamFlex+™ utilizing multi-directional
antenna patterns.
- Improve throughput with ChannelFly, which dynamically finds less
congested Wi-Fi channels to use.
Whether you’re deploying ten or ten thousand APs, the T310 Series is easy to
manage through Ruckus’ appliance and virtual management options.
Benefits:
VARIETY One size does NOT fit all. The T310 series offers
the broadest variety of APs in the market today

FEATURE |
BENEFIT |
Guest Services |
Give guests secure, high-performance Wi-Fi access, while isolating their traffic from the private business network easily. Customize your guest Wi-Fi portal with your logo, brand and messages. Provide Wi-Fi access through Guest Passes, or have guests authenticate using social media accounts such as Facebook to eliminate the hassle (and security holes) of sharing
Wi-Fi passwords. |
Application Visibility and Control |
Monitor the network usage patterns of over 2,200 applications with Deep Packet Inspection, and find out which ones are consuming the most resources. You can define application-specific access rules (such as limiting access to YouTube or social media), or even limit Wi-Fi speeds for specific applications and/or SSIDs. |
Resiliency |
Continue to access printers and other network devices even if internet connectivity fails. Users stay connected to the Wi-Fi network even if one or several APs fail for any reason, as long as at least one AP in the network is online. |
Security |
Use DPSK to eliminate the risks of shared passwords and lock down access to the Wi-Fi network—without complex configurations. In addition, secure your network and protect your clients with WPA encryption, client isolation and 802.1x for RADIUS and Active Directory. |
Zero Touch Mesh |
Add new Unleashed APs to the existing network securely over the air. Dramatically speed up and simplify the installation of an Unleashed network. |
Multiple Language Support |
Create and manage your Wi-Fi network in your own language. RUCKUS Unleashed currently supports 13 languages. |
URL Filtering |
Define web access rules for your network users. Protect your network from malware and phishing sites. |
