Ruckus ZoneFlex 7762-AC

The most robust 802.11n Outdoor Wi-Fi Access Point available, delivering range, reliability with Adaptive Antenna Technology custom fit for service providers

ZoneFlex 7762-AC

The Ruckus ZoneFlex 7762-AC and 7762-S-AC are the industry’s first 802.11n outdoor access points featuring purpose built capabilities for the service provider market such as a single mode fiber uplink, AC power, and up to 500 clients per AP. The 7762-S-AC features a long-range, high-gain sectorized smart antenna array that integrates adaptive antenna technology and unique interference mitigation technology to deliver up to an additional 6dB of BeamFlex gain, physical antenna gain of 10dBi, and 15dB of interference mitigation within in a 120° azimuth. This advanced smart Wi-Fi design with concurrent 802.11n radios delivers 150 Mbps of sustained throughput between mesh APs 600 meters apart and 50 Mbps of sustained throughput to clients 300 meters away.

The ZoneFlex 7762-AC is perfect for providers looking to quickly and economically expand branded broadband services, offload data traffic from congested 3G networks, deploy multimedia hotspots or offer wireless broadband services where fixed line access is limited. Concurrent 2.4/5GHz 802.11n radios for access and backhaul traffic deliver high-throughput to clients.

A directional antenna array and expert QoS software optimize delay-sensitive, IP video and high-density voice over Wi-Fi (VoFi) applications and PoE output allows connecting other devices such as an IP camera. Integrated Smart Mesh Networking technology automates deployment and eliminates running expensive cables to every outdoor AP.

The ZoneFlex 7762-AC can be deployed as a standalone AP and managed individually, or centrally managed by the ZoneDirector Smart WLAN controller or through the FlexMaster remote Wi-Fi management system as part of a unified indoor/outdoor wireless LAN. The Ruckus ZoneFlex 7762-AC simply plugs into any Ethernet network and is automatically discovered by the ZoneDirector.
