Mobility

The Ruckus Mobility module delivers faster and more secure Wi-Fi roaming for Voice over IP (VoIP) as well as data applications. A simple software license for the Ruckus ZoneOS (version 7.0 and higher), the Ruckus Mobility module adds key capabilities to the Ruckus ZoneFlex line of Smart Wireless controllers such as wireless LAN tunneling for voice over Wi-Fi applications and 802.1X fast roaming.

The Ruckus Mobility module minimizes erratic Wi-Fi behavior by enabling uninterrupted voice calls through the use of Layer 3 tunneling and using key caching techniques when roaming across ZoneFlex 802.11g/n access points (AP) to minimize roaming delays.

Performance

Unique Performance Utility.

ZoneDirector 3000 integrates SpeedFlex™, which allows administrators to locally or remotely determine client Wi-Fi performance. With SpeedFlex, administrators can better plan, troubleshoot, monitor, and measure WLAN performance.

Security

Streamlined, Bulletproof Security.

ZoneDirector 3000 supports enterprise-class 802.1x with any backend authentication database, such as RADIUS and ActiveDirectory, and also comes with an internal authentication database. First-time ZoneDirector users simply plug their computers into the WLAN, and specify a URL that directs them to a captive web portal for first-time authentication. Then, ZoneDirector automatically configures the client system with the designated SSID and a dynamically-generated encryption key that centralizes authentication and authorization decisions for all APs, providing secure admission control across the WLAN.

Quality

Better Quality Of Service With Fewer APs.

Leveraging Smart Wi-Fi technology that provides extended range and dynamic signal controls, ZoneDirector 3000’s Smart Mesh Networking:

• Minimizes inter-nodal hops that degrade performance
• Automatically adapts Wi-Fi connections between nodes to environmental changes
• Automatically controls the channel assignments and transmit power of all ZoneFlex Smart Wi-Fi APs
• Guest pass generation
• WIDS
• Fast roaming
• Distributed forwarding

The result? Fewer APs need to be deployed. And with BeamFlex, the ZoneFlex system continuously picks the best path for every packet, to clients outside the network and mesh APs inside the network.

• Provides WLAN-wide network, security, RF, and location management.
• SmartMesh wireless meshing automates deployment, eliminates the need to run Ethernet cable to every Smart Wi-Fi access point
• Adaptable Hybrid SmartMesh extends the wireless network through Ethernet-connected APs
• Elegant guest networking without the hassle
• Dynamically-generated Pre-Shared Keys (PSK) that are automatically installed on clients
• Support for 802.1x, LDAP (captive portal), native Active Directory, and RADIUS authentication with dynamic VLAN assignment
• Multi-site authentication to scale large deployments
• Automatic traffic redirection using WISPr for multi-site authentication for large-scale deployments
• Minimizes erratic Wi-Fi behavior, enabling uninterrupted voice calls, through the use of Layer 3 tunneling and using key caching techniques when roaming
• Bandsteering, load balancing, and airtime fairness to optimize Wi-Fi spectrum
• Users access policies provide rich WLAN control
• Traffic thresholds for users on a specific SSID to ensure fairness
• Maximizes data throughput by sending all data traffic directly from the access points to the wired network
• Aeroscout location services support
