Ruckus R500 Indoor Access Point

Features

• Stunning Wi-Fi Performance | Provide a great user experience no matter how challenging the environment with BeamFlex+ adaptive antenna technology and a library 64 directional antenna patterns.
• Get Optimal Throughput | ChannelFly dynamic channel technology uses machine learning to automatically find the least congested channels. You always get the highest throughput the band can support.
• Multiple Management Options | Manage the R500 from the cloud, or with on-premises physical/virtual appliances.
• Better Mesh Networking | Reduce expensive cabling, and complex mesh configurations by checking a box with SmartMesh wireless meshing technology to dynamically create self-forming, self-healing mesh networks.
• Expanded Backhaul | Pair two onboard 1GbE ports with link aggregation (LACP) to maximize throughput between the AP and wired switch.
• More Than Wi-Fi | Enhance your network with Cloudpath security and management software, SPoT real-time Wi-Fi location engine and analytics software, and SCI network analytics.
