High Performance, 802.11n Mid-Range Smart Wi-Fi
Access Points with Adaptive Antenna Technology
The Ruckus ZoneFlex 7352 delivers high-performance and reliable 802.11n wireless networking at the industry’s most affordable price point.
Unlike any other 802.11n wireless solution in its class, the
ZoneFlex 7352 combines patented adaptive antenna technology and automatic interference mitigation to deliver consistent,
predictable performance at extended ranges with up to an
additional 4dB of BeamFlex gain on top of the physical antenna
gain and up to 10dB of interference mitigation.
Additional performance enhancements to signal gain can be
attributed to the chip-based transmit beamforming capability
adding 3 dB when associated to a compatible client. The 7352
is also ideal for client performance with mobile devices that
constantly change orientation with dual-polarized antennas
that adapt to hand-held device movement.
Each ZoneFlex 7352 integrates Ruckus-patented BeamFlex, a
software-controlled, high gain antenna array that continually
forms and directs each 802.11n packet over the best performing signal path. The ZoneFlex 7352 automatically selects channels for highest throughput potential using Ruckus ChannelFly
dynamic channel management, adapting to environmental
changes. Once deployed, enterprises never have to worry
about constant site surveys as the environment changes.
A sleek and low-prole design, the ZoneFlex 7352 was purposebuilt for cost-minded enterprises requiring reliable high speed
client connectivity. It is ideal for a variety of enterprise and
hotspot environments including hotels, schools, retail outlets,
branch ofces and public venues.
BENEFITS
Best-in-class mid-range performance at lowest cost
Unprecedented price/performance with extended range at the
industry’s most affordable price point for both single and dual-band
Extended range requires fewer APs
Adaptive antenna technology delivers a 2x to 4x increase in Wi-Fi signal
coverage minimizing the number of APs required to service any area
Wire-like wireless reliability
Patented smart antenna array, adaptive antenna technology and
Quality of Service technologies combine to mitigate interference and
minimize packet loss
Sleek, low prole enclosure for ease-of-deployment
Aesthetically-pleasing design ts almost anywhere
Channel selection optimizes throughput
ChannelFly dynamic management, based on throughput measurements, not just interference, chooses the best channel to give users the
highest throughput.
Super simple conguration and management
The industry’s simplest conguration and management through
a Web-based wizard and automated deployment capabilities
Flexible deployment options
Standalone or controller-based deployment
Smart wireless meshing
When used with a ZoneDirector Smart WLAN controller, the ZoneFlex
7352 easily extends Wi-Fi services to areas where Ethernet cabling isn’t
available, possible or cost effective
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
Offered in single and dual band models, the ZoneFlex 7352
can be deployed as a standalone access point or as part of
the centrally-controlled Smart Wireless LAN with the Ruckus
ZoneDirector. The ZoneFlex 7352 can also be easily deployed
using Smart Mesh Networking to extend Wi-Fi services in locations where Ethernet cabling is not available or cost prohibitive.
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
Multiple Ethernet ports
One Ethernet ports enable connectivity of wired devices such as
printers, registers, VoIP phones, servers, etc.
Patented BeamFlex™ Technology Extends Signal
Range, Improves Stability of Client Connections
All ZoneFlex 7352 Smart Wi-Fi access points integrate a
software-controlled smart antenna array that delivers up to an
additional 4dB of BeamFlex gain and 10dB of interference mitigation. This allows a 2 to 4x improvement in signal range and a
reduction in packet loss from the ability to automatically mitigate
interference and avoid obstacles.
Advanced WLAN Applications
with Smart/OS
When used with the Ruckus ZoneDirector
Smart WLAN controller, each ZoneFlex 7352
supports a wide range of value-added applications such as guest networking, Smart
Wireless Meshing, 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 conguration, the ZoneFlex 7352 works with a wide
range of authentication servers including Microsoft’s Active
Directory, LDAP, and RADIUS.

combinations can be chosen
for high availability of Wi-Fi
Flexible Deployment Options
ZoneFlex 7352 APs can be deployed as a standalone AP or
as part of a centrally managed wireless LAN using ZoneDirector
Smart WLAN controllers. ZoneFlex 7352 can be deployed across
any L2/L3 network and can bridge trafc onto the local network, tunnel to a central location using L2TP or PPPoE, or route
between the WAN and NAT’ed private subnets. It can be wired
to the network or connect wirelessly by meshing to another
AP when Ethernet cabling is unavailable. When used with the
ZoneDirector, each ZoneFlex 7352 is automatically congured
through the network making deployment quick and easy.
Complete Local and
Remote Management
Each ZoneFlex 7352 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 the
ZoneDirector Smart WLAN controller.
FlexMaster is a LINUX-based software
platform that uses industry-standard protocols to perform bulk
conguration, fault detection, monitoring and a wide range of
troubleshooting capabilities over a wire area connection. The
ZoneDirector enables local management and control of APs,
adding value-added services such as transmit power control,
guest networking and meshing.
