RUCKUS ZoneFlex H510 Unleashed
Multiservice 802.11ac Wave 2 Wired/Wireless Wall Switch

Overview:

High Performance 802.11ac Wave 2 Integrated Wired/wireless Wall Switch

RUCKUS H510 Unleashed enables controller-less Wi-Fi architecture for hospitality and small business environments with superior performance, lower costs and simplified management. Separate controllers and access point licenses are no longer needed, significantly reducing upfront costs. Set-up is also easy, thanks to a simplified web interface that helps businesses configure Wi-Fi in just 60 seconds.

The ZoneFlex™ H510 Unleashed is the industry’s first Wave 2 802.11ac wired and wireless wall switch using Ruckus’ patented BeamFlex+ adaptive antenna technology to deliver high-speed 802.11ac Wi-Fi in an ultra-sleek, low-profile design that can be discretely installed over a standard electrical junction box. Ideal for offering converged services in hotel guest rooms, student residences, and multi-dwelling units, the ZoneFlex H510 Unleashed provides an easy way to offer multiple connections in a single room without multiple cables.

The ZoneFlex H510 Unleashed supports Multi-User MIMO (MU-MIMO) as a Wave 2 solution and can increase network throughput by transmitting to two Wave 2 clients at the same instant in time. This efficient utilization of the Wi-Fi channel boosts performance for Wave 2 clients but also frees up airtime for all clients, which means even non-Wave 2 clients see a performance benefit.

The “mobile device ready” ZoneFlex H510 Unleashed with BeamFlex+ adapts in real time to client device location and physical orientation, delivering consistent Wi-Fi performance. The BeamFlex+ adaptive antenna system of the ZoneFlex H510 Unleashed is optimized to deliver best-in-class Wi-Fi coverage and performance in hotel guest rooms and MDU residences.

Equipped with four Ethernet ports for in-room access, the ZoneFlex H510 Unleashed can be used to connect a range of wired network devices such as IPTV set top boxes, IP telephones, or networked minibars while simultaneously providing dual band 802.11ac wireless LAN coverage. An IEEE 802.3af-compliant Power-overEthernet (PoE) port on the H510 Unleashed allows devices such as IP telephones to be powered directly from the wall switch. The H510 Unleashed itself may be powered via standard PoE or a DC power adapter.

The ZoneFlex H510 Unleashed offers maximum flexibility and future-proofed utility. It is designed to securely support future add-on radio modules for wireless connectivity beyond best-in-class Wi-Fi. The cable pathways at the rear, support legacy cabling such as RG6 or CAT3/CAT5. Existing services such as video and voice over Ethernet can co-exist within the same junction box, reducing both installation time and construction costs.
