data sheet

Industry’s highest performing three-stream AP

ZoneFlex R700 delivers better performance over
competitive three-stream APs

Reduced Wi-Fi interference

Up to 15 dB of interference mitigation and a 50
percent reduction in interference to neighboring APs

No need to upgrade PoE switches

Works under 802.3af power with no limitations
requiring no need to upgrade PoE switches

Flexible deployment options

Standalone or controller-based deployment with any
of Ruckus ZoneDirectors

Dual concurrent 3x3:3 MIMO and BeamFlex+

Three spatial streams combined with BeamFlex+
adaptive antenna technology ensures the most
throughput out of the total 1300 Mbps available
without the client capabilities for transmit
beamforming

Adaptive polarization diversity with BeamFlex+
(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. BeamFlex+ with 802.11ac enables
rates at up to 2x the range vs. other vendors

Improved performance to legacy clients

Increases throughput to single and dual-stream
clients by combining BeamFlex+, polarization diversity
and three radio chains

ZoneFlex™ R700

DUAL-BAND 3X3:3 802.11AC SMART WI-FI AP

The Industry’s Highest Capacity, Highest Performing
Three-Stream 802.11ac AP

Ruckus ZoneFlex R700 is the rst dual-band, three-stream 802.11ac access
point that incorporates Ruckus-patented BeamFlex+™ adaptive antenna arrays.

The ZoneFlex R700 ensures the most reliable connectivity within
challenging and ever-changing RF environments. With BeamFlex+, the
ZoneFlex R700 offers up to 2x increase in performance and range and is
capable of delivering up to 6 dB of signal-to-interference-plus-noise (SINR)
improvement and up to 15 dB of interference mitigation over other APs. The
ZoneFlex R700 simultaneously supports spatial multiplexing and BeamFlex+
to deliver the best price/performance of any three-stream 802.11ac AP.

With a throughput of 450 Mbps (2.4GHz) and 1300 Mbps (5GHz), the
ZoneFlex R700 ensures maximum throughput to three-stream capable
clients while also improving single and dual-stream client performance. This
is achieved through the unique combination of adaptive antenna technology,
predictive channel selection and adaptive polarization diversity. Backward
compatible with all existing clients, the ZoneFlex R700 can function either as a
standalone AP or as part of centrally-managed Wireless LAN with the
Ruckus ZoneDirector Smart WLAN controller.

ZoneFlex R700 is purpose-built for high-capacity, high performance and
interference-laden environments such as airports, public venues, hotels,
universities and conference centers. The perfect choice for data-intensive
streaming multimedia applications, the ZoneFlex R700 delivers picture
perfect HD-quality IP video while supporting VoIP and data applications
that have stringent quality of service requirements.

DUAL-BAND 3X3:3 802.11AC
SMART WI-FI AP

Patented BeamFlex+ technology extends signal range,
improves stability of client connections

The ZoneFlex R700 integrates a patented software-controlled
adaptive antenna array that delivers additional signal gain
per radio chain. As BeamFlex+ adapts to client locations and
antenna polarity, the smart antenna array optimizes the RF
energy toward client on a per packet basis. This allows for up
to 2x improvement in signal range and a reduction in packet
loss from the ability to automatically mitigate interference and
obstacles. By combining BeamFlex+ with the transmit-based
beamforming, the ZoneFlex R700 is capable of delivering up to
6 dB of SINR gain while offering concurrent support for spatial
multiplexing.

Adaptive polarization diversity for unmatched reception of
mobile client signals

In dynamic indoor and urban Wi-Fi environments device
orientation constantly changes. This affects the polarization of
the transmissions. Traditional Wi-Fi antennas are static in nature
and only listen using one polarization. This prevents them from
capturing the full signal from mobile client devices. The Ruckus
R700 listens in all polarizations simultaneously. This results in up
to 2x (4 dB) receive signal gain from mobile devices with weak
transmitters.

Advanced WLAN applications with Smart/OS

When used with the Ruckus ZoneDirector Smart WLAN
controller, the ZoneFlex R700 supports a wide range of
value-added applications such as guest networking, Dynamic
PSK, hotspot authentication, wireless intrusion prevention and
many more. WLANs can also be grouped and shared by specic
APs. In a centrally managed conguration, the ZoneFlex R700
works with various authentication servers including AD, LDAP,
and RADIUS.
