•

Lower costs, easier installation. SmartMesh™ wireless meshing technology can dynamically create self-forming, self-healing mesh networks by just checking a box—reducing the need for expensive cabling and complex mesh conﬁgurations.

INSTALL AND MANAGE WITH EASE

•

Up and running in under 5 minutes. With Zero-Touch Mesh, set up your entire Wi-Fi network in a few simple steps from a mobile device or browser with an intuitive, easy-tounderstand user interface.

•

Total control at your ﬁngertips. Gain detailed insights about your network and perform all key administrative tasks from anywhere with the free Unleashed app for iPhone and Android.

More devices than ever. Bandwidth-hungry video applications. Internet of Things

(IoT). Constant demand for mobile connectivity. They add up to a perfect storm

of technology trends—and your Wi-Fi better be ready for it. The days when a

consumer-grade Wi-Fi device could meet most small business needs are over.

Today, even smaller organizations need fast, reliable, always-on connectivity

for dozens or even hundreds of devices. At the same time, small and midsize

businesses don’t have the time (or often, the in-house IT expertise) to wrestle with

complex conﬁgurations and installations that require a PhD to get right.

Want blazing-fast Wi-Fi performance? Simple installation and management?

Business-class security and resiliency? Enterprise-class features? And all at an

affordable cost? Welcome to RUCKUS Unleashed. These access points (APs)

use our patented technologies to deliver RUCKUS’ industry-leading Wi-Fi

performance, but in a package designed and priced for small and medium-size

businesses (SMBs) and organizations.

•

Switch management made easy. Manage your ICX switches from the Unleashed dashboard and mobile app. Gain insights about switch connectivity information. Perform software upgrade, conﬁguration, backup and restore.

Scale up when you need to. Easily expand your Wi-Fi across multiple locations with the Unleashed Multi-Site Manager. Growing even more? Move up to a controller- or cloud-based deployment with your existing Unleashed APs.

Key beneﬁts and features

BEST-IN-CLASS PERFORMANCE

BeamFlex+—Patented Adaptive Antenna Technology

RUCKUS Unleashed APs integrate our patented, software-

controlled adaptive antennas. BeamFlex+ antennas adapt

automatically to client locations and environmental conditions,

continually optimizing RF signals for every connected device, on a

per-packet basis. It’s the “secret sauce” that lets our APs maintain

stronger connections and deliver better performance than the

competition.

ChannelFly—Machine Learning Auto Channel Selection

Most APs can switch channels when the one they’re using to

connect with a given device gets congested. Only RUCKUS APs

with ChannelFly technology, however, use machine learning

and specialized algorithms to identify the best alternate channel

before switching over. Combined with BeamFlex+ adaptive

antenna technology, ChannelFly delivers substantially higher

throughput than competing APs.

SmartMesh—Self-Forming, Self-Healing Mesh

SmartMesh makes it simple to blanket every corner of your

space with reliable Wi-Fi coverage—while eliminating the need

for cumbersome radio planning and expensive cabling to every

AP. Just check the “Zero Touch Mesh” box in the management

app, and it automatically establishes wireless mesh connections

between individual APs. RUCKUS Unleashed APs use our patented

smart antenna technology to create strong, reliable mesh links.

And if a link ever fails, the network heals itself automatically.

RUCKUS Unleashed™ Multi-Site Manager

THE SMARTER SMB SOLUTION

Install in Minutes

RUCKUS Unleashed APs can be installed in under 5 minutes

from a laptop browser (e.g., Chrome, Safari) or from iPhone and

Android mobile devices. Conﬁgure just one “Master AP,” and you

can automatically push that conﬁguration securely to all the other

APs in the network with the “Zero Touch Mesh” features.

Easy to Manage

You can manage smaller Unleashed networks from anywhere

in the world with the free Unleashed Mobile app. The app’s

dashboard puts all the essential information about your

network, and provides access to all key administrative tasks and

troubleshooting options, right at your ﬁngertips.

Lower Capital and Operational Costs

Unleashed APs come with controller functions built in. You don’t

need separate controller appliances or access point licenses, so

the upfront costs are much lower than other business-class APs.

Unleashed networks are also designed to be simple to deploy and

manage—no specialized network or wireless expertise required.

Network Investment Protection

When you deploy RUCKUS Unleashed APs and switches, you’re

making an investment that will continue to serve your business as

you grow. Expand across multiple locations with the Unleashed

Multi-Site Manager. And if your business grows even more, you

can move up to a controller- or cloud-based solution using the

same Unleashed APs you’ve already deployed.
