RUCKUS ZoneFlex T301
Entry-Level 802.11ac Outdoor Access Points with Directed Coverage

Overview:

The Industry’s First Outdoor 802.11ac AP with BeamFlex+ designed for High Density Venues

The ZoneFlex T301 Series are the first dual-band 802.11ac outdoor access points (AP) designed explicitly for high density user environments such as stadiums, arenas, train stations, convention centers, and major metro areas.

The T301 Series are the only 802.11ac access points on the market to integrate patented BeamFlex™ technology. The T301 Series has internal high gain directional antennas to provide directed coverage solutions eliminating the need for bulky panel antennas and confusing and expensive external RF cabling. The T301 Series enable focused Wi-Fi coverage to mitigate interference and implicitly improve signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) in the most challenging RF environments.

In addition, the T301 Series uniquely leverages a predictive model for channel selection (ChannelFly) that uses actual activity to learn what channels will yield the most capacity to provide the highest client speeds and reduced interference.

Designed for easy installation within an ultra lightweight and low profile enclosure, the T301 Series is ideal for venue owners looking to quickly and economically deploy Wi-Fi in high-capacity environments such as stadiums, arenas, train stations, convention centers, and major metro areas. Using directed coverage, the APs can be deployed in close proximity, mitigating co-channel interference. This is critical as high density deployments require a large number of APs within a fixed space.

The T301 Series can be centrally managed by the ZoneDirector Smart WLAN controller or the SmartCell™ Gateway 200 (SCG 200) as part of a unified indoor/outdoor wireless LAN, deployed as a standalone AP and managed individually, or through the FlexMaster remote Wi-Fi management system.

Features:

Internal Narrow Beam Antenna Technology

• 30° narrow beam or 120° sectorized antennas for very high-density deployments in arenas, stadiums, airports, etc.
