BENEFITS
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.
