RUCKUS R850
Indoor Wi-Fi 6 8x8:8 Access Point with 5.9 GbpsData Rate
The RUCKUS R850 is based on the latest Wi-Fi standard, Wi-Fi 6, which
bridges the performance gap from ‘gigabit’ Wi-Fi to ‘multi-gigabit’
Wi-Fi in support of the insatiable demand for better and faster Wi-Fi.
Benefits
Connect More Devices Simultaneously
Improve device performance, by enabling more
simultaneous device connections with built-in 12
spatial streams (8x8:8 in 5GHz, 4x4:4 in 2.4GHz), MUMIMO and OFDMA technology.
Ultra-High-Density Performance
Provides exceptional end-user experience within
stadiums, large public venues, convention centers and
school auditoriums with the RUCKUS Ultra-HighDensity Technology Suite.
Enhanced Security
Supports the latest Wi-Fi security standard,WPA3,for
enhanced protection from man-in-the-middle attacks
in the most secure way.
Multi-Gigabit Access Speeds
Optimized multi-gigabit Wi-Fi performance delivered
using built-in 5GbE/2.5GbE Ethernet ports to connect
to multi-gigabit switches.
Device Management Options
Manage the R850 with cloud, on premise physical/
virtual appliances and control auto-provisioning for
faster deployment and seamless rmware upgrades.
Better Mesh Networking
Minimize complexity by reducing expensive cabling
with SmartMesh that dynamically creates selfforming, self-healing mesh networks.
The RUCKUS R850 is our highest capacity dual-band, dual-concurrent Wi-Fi 6access point (AP)
that supports 12 spatial streams (8x8:8 in 5GHz, 4x4:4 in 2.4GHz). The R850, with OFDMA,
TWT and MU-MIMO capabilities, efciently manages up to 1,024 client connections with
increased capacity, improved coverage and performance in ultra-high dense environments.
Furthermore, a 5 Gbps multi-gigabit Ethernet portmitigates backhaulcapacity bottlenecks.
Additionally, the R850 is IoT- and LTE-ready, and supports wireless standards beyond Wi-Fi in
combination with the RUCKUS IoT Suite and our CBRS/OpenG modules.
The R850 addresses the increasing client demands in transit hubs, auditoriums, stadiums,
conference centers, and other highly trafcked indoor spaces. It is the perfect choice for data-
intensive streaming multimedia applications like 4K video transmissions, while supporting
latency sensitive voice and data applications with stringent quality-of-service requirements.
The R850 when paired with the RUCKUS Ultra-High-Density Technology Suite found only in
the RUCKUS Wi-Fi portfolio, dramatically improves network performance through a
combination of patented wireless innovations and learning algorithms that includes:
·
Airtime Decongestion: Increases average network throughput in heavily congested
environments
·
Transient Client Management: Reduces interference trafc from unconnected Wi-Fi
devices
·
BeamFlex Antennas: Extended coverage and optimized throughput with patented multidirectional antennas and radio patterns
Whether you’re deploying ten or ten thousand APs, the R850 is also easy to manage through
our collection of on-premises or cloud-based management options.
Converged Access Point
Eliminate siloed wireless networks with a unied
platform that augments Wi-Fi with onboard BLE &
Zigbee radios with the option to integrate other
wireless technologies via the USB port.
More Than Wi-Fi
Support services beyond Wi-Fi with RUCKUS IoT
Suite, Cloudpathsecurity and onboarding software,
SPoTWi-Fi locationing engine, and RUCKUS analytics.

Indoor Wi-Fi 6 8x8:8 Access Point with 5.9 GbpsData Rate
Access Point Antenna Pattern
RUCKUS’ BeamFlex+ adaptive antennas allow the R850 AP to dynamically choose among a host
of antenna patterns (over 4,000 possible combinations) in real-time to establish the best possible
connection with every device. This leads to:
·
Better Wi-Fi coverage
·
Reduced RF interference
Traditional omni-directional antennas, found in generic access points, oversaturate the
environment by needlessly radiating RF signals in all directions. In contrast, theRUCKUS
BeamFlex+ adaptive antenna directs the radio signals per-device on a packet by-packet basis to
optimize Wi-Fi coverage and capacity in real-time to support high device density environments.
BeamFlex+ operates without the need for device feedback and hence can benet even devices
using legacy standards.
