Introduction
Overview of the Ruckus Wireless Access Point
Congratulations on your purchase of the Ruckus Wireless AP!
Ruckus Wireless APs are the industry's most easy to use, yet robust and feature-rich
Wi-Fi APs designed to bring power and simplicity together for large-scale indoor
deployments.
Your Ruckus Wireless AP uses BeamFlex, a patented antenna technology from Ruckus
Wireless that allows wireless signals to navigate around interference, extend wireless
signal range, and increase speeds and capacity for wireless networks. The BeamFlex
antenna system consists of an array of high-gain directional antenna elements that allow
Ruckus Wireless APs to find quality signal paths in a changing environment, and sustain
the baseline performance required for supporting data, audio and video applications.
Your Ruckus Wireless AP can be deployed in standalone mode with or without a
FlexMaster (FM) manager, or as part of the Ruckus Wireless Smart WLAN system, in
which it can be managed by a Ruckus Wireless ZoneDirector or SmartZone controller.
NOTE
For more information on the Ruckus Wireless system (including Ruckus Wireless
controllers and FlexMaster server), BeamFlex, and other Ruckus Wireless technologies,
