BENEFITS

data sheet

ZoneFlex™ R600

Extended range requires fewer APs

Adaptive antenna technology delivers up to 2x
increase in Wi-Fi signal coverage minimizing the
number of APs required to service any area

Sleek, low prole enclosure for ease-of-deployment

Aesthetically-pleasing design and a range of mounting
options

Channel selection optimizes throughput

ChannelFly dynamic channel management, based on
throughput measurements, not just interference, chooses
the best channel to give users the highest possible
throughput

Super simple conguration and management

The industry’s simplest conguration and
management through a Web-based wizard and
automated deployment capabilities

Flexible deployment options

Standalone or controller-based deployment

Adaptive Polarization Diversity (PD-MRC)

Dual-polarized antennas that are dynamically selected
provide better reception for hard to hear clients and
more consistent performance as clients constantly
change orientation

Hassle free migration to higher speed Wi-Fi

Support for standard 802.3af power over Ethernet
allows enterprises to use existing PoE switches
without costly upgrades

DUAL-BAND 802.11AC 3X3:3
SMART WI-FI ACCESS POINTS

802.11ac High Performance Mid-Range 3X3:3 Smart Wi­Fi Access Points with Adaptive Antenna Technology

The Ruckus ZoneFlex R600 delivers high-performance and reliable

802.11ac wireless networking at a competitive price point for
medium density venues such as in K-12 or education.

The ZoneFlex R600 combines patented adaptive antenna
technology and automatic interference mitigation to deliver
consistent, predictable performance at extended ranges with up to
an additional 6dB of BeamFlex gain on top of the physical antenna
gain and up to 15dB of interference mitigation.

The R600 is ideal for wireless networks servicing mobile devices
with dual-polarized antennas that adapt in real time to maximize
performance for the mobile enterprise.

Performance is further enhanced as the ZoneFlex R600 integrates
Ruckus’ patented BeamFlex, a software-controlled, high gain
adaptive antenna technology. The ZoneFlex R600 automatically
selects channels for highest throughput potential using Ruckus
ChannelFly dynamic channel management, adapting to environ­mental changes.

A sleek and low-prole design, the ZoneFlex R600 was purpose­built for enterprises requiring reliable high speed client connectivity.
It is ideal for a variety of medium density enterprise and hotspot
environments including SMBs, hotels, and schools.

ZoneFlex™ R600

DUAL-BAND 802.11AC
SMART WI-FI ACCESS POINTS

Patented BeamFlex+™ Technology Extends Signal Range,
Improves Stability of Client Connections

All ZoneFlex R600 Smart Wi-Fi access points integrate a
software-controlled smart antenna with PD-MRC (polarization
diversity) that delivers up to an additional 6 dB of BeamFlex gain
and 15 dB of interference mitigation. This is especially benecial
to enhance the performance of mobile devices which are
constantly in motion and changing orientation.

Advanced WLAN Applications with Smart/OS

When used with the Ruckus Smart WLAN
controllers, each ZoneFlex R600 supports a wide
range of value-added applications such as guest
networking, Dynamic PSK, hotspot authentica­tion, wireless intrusion detection and many more.
With Smart/OS, WLANs can be created and
mapped to the same or different APs or VLANs. In
a centrally managed conguration, the ZoneFlex R600 works with
a wide range of authentication servers including Microsoft’s Active
Directory, LDAP, and RADIUS.

Flexible Deployment Options

ZoneFlex R600 APs can be deployed as a standalone AP or
as part of a centrally managed wireless LAN using ZoneDirec­tor Smart WLAN controllers. ZoneFlex R600 can be deployed
across any L2/L3 network and can bridge trafc onto the local
network, tunnel to a central location using L2TP or PPPoE,
or route between the WAN and NAT’ed private subnets. With
the Ruckus controllers, each ZoneFlex R600 is automatically
congured through the network making deployment quick and
ea sy.

Complete Local and Remote Management

Each ZoneFlex R600 can be managed as a standalone AP
through a Web-based GUI,
using SNMP or through the
Ruckus FlexMaster Wi-Fi
remote management system.
Local management can also
be performed using Ruckus’
Smart WLAN controllers. FlexMaster is a
LINUX-based software platform that uses
industry-standard protocols to perform
bulk conguration, fault detection,
monitoring and a wide range of trouble­shooting capabilities over a wire area
connection. The controllers enable local
management and control of APs, adding
value-added services such as transmit power control, and guest
networking.
