R550
Indoor Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) Access Point for Dense Environments
Wi-Fi capacity requirements in classrooms, office spaces, and
medium-size venues are rising due to the increase in the number of
Wi-Fi connected devices. An increase in bandwidth requirements for
Benefits
Stunning Wi-Fi performance
Mitigate interference and extend coverage with
patented BeamFlex+™ adaptive antenna technology
utilizing several directional antenna patterns.
Serve more devices
Connect more devices simultaneously with four MUMIMO spatial streams and concurrent dual-band
2.4/5GHz radios while enhancing device
performance.
Converged Access Point
Allows customers to eliminate siloed networks and
unify WiFi and non-WiFi wireless technologies into
one single network by using built-in BLE and Zigbee,
and also expand to any future wireless technologies
through the USB port.
Automate optimal throughput
ChannelFly dynamic channel technology uses
machine learning to automatically find the least
congested channels. You always get the highest
throughput the band can support.
Better mesh networking
Reduce expensive cabling, and complex mesh
configurations by checking a box with SmartMesh
wireless meshing technology to dynamically create
self-forming, self-healing mesh networks.
More Than Wi-Fi
Support services beyond Wi-Fi with Ruckus IoT Suite,
Cloudpath security and onboarding software, SPoT
Wi-Fi locationing engine, and RUCKUS analytics.
applications and an ever-growing assortment of IoT devices puts
further strain on already stretched Wi-Fi networks.
The R550 access point (AP) with the latest Wi-Fi 6 (802.11 ax) technology delivers the ideal
combination of increased capacity, improved coverage and affordability in dense
environments. The R550 is our mid- range dual-band, dual-concurrent AP that supports four
spatial streams (2x2:2 in 2.4GHz/5GHz). The R550 supports peak data rates of up to 1774
Mbps and efficiently manages up to 512 clients connections.
Also, wireless requirements within enterprises are expanding beyond Wi-Fi with BLE, Zigbee
and many other non-Wi-Fi wireless technologies resulting in creation of network silos.
Enterprises need a unified platform to eliminate network silos. The RUCKUS AP portfolio is
equipped to solve these challenges.
The R550 has built-in IoT radios with onboard BLE and Zigbee capabilities. In addition, the
R550 is a converged access point that allows customers to seamlessly integrate any new
wireless technologies with the pluggable IoT module.
The R550 is packed with ruckus patented technologies in addition to Wi-Fi 6 features such as
OFDMA, MU-MIMO and TWT. The R550 is ideal for medium-density deployments such a, K-12
classrooms, residence halls, hallways and office spaces.
The R550 Wi-Fi 6 AP incorporates patented technologies found only in the RUCKUS Wi-Fi
portfolio.
·
BeamFlex+ Antennas: Extended coverage and optimized throughput with patented multidirectional antennas and radio patterns
·
ChannelFly: Improved throughput with dynamically changing the channels to use least
congested channel
Whether you are deploying ten or ten thousand APs, the R550 is also easy to manage through
RUCKUS’ cloud, physical, virtual and controllerless management options.
