RUCKUS ZoneFlex T300 Unleashed
Entry-Level 802.11ac Outdoor Access Points

Overview:

802.11AC Access Point with BeamFlex+ for Cost-Effective Deployments in High Density Outdoor Venues

RUCKUS T300 Unleashed enables controller-less Wi-Fi architecture for 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.

These environments require support for users that demand high capacity and mobile device ready WLAN services. The T300 Unleashed is uniquely designed to serve these demanding environments with dual-polarized adaptive antennas that dynamically select the best antenna patterns on a per-packet basis to provide reliable client connections and to increase network capacity while implicitly mitigating interference and improving signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR).

In addition, the T300 Unleashed 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 T300 Unleashed Series is ideal for venue owners and enterprises looking to quickly and economically deploy Wi-Fi in high-capacity environments. With the ZoneFlex T300 Unleashed Series, venue operators can now deliver an enhanced Wi-Fi experience, which directly translates into increased customer loyalty and ultimately increased revenue.

Enterprise-grade features

RUCKUS Unleashed APs and switches come loaded with enterprise-grade features to customize, optimize and secure your Wi-Fi networks and deliver great user experiences. Key features are highlighted below.

FEATURE	BENEFIT
Guest Services	Give guests secure, high-performance Wi-Fi access, while isolating their traffic from the private business network easily. Customize your guest Wi-Fi portal with your logo, brand and messages. Provide Wi-Fi access through Guest Passes, or have guests authenticate using social media accounts such as Facebook to eliminate the hassle (and security holes) of sharing Wi-Fi passwords.
Application Visibility and Control	Monitor the network usage patterns of over 2,200 applications with Deep Packet Inspection, and find out which ones are consuming the most resources. You can define application-specific access rules (such as limiting access to YouTube or social media), or even limit Wi-Fi speeds for specific applications and/or SSIDs.
Resiliency	Continue to access printers and other network devices even if internet connectivity fails. Users stay connected to the Wi-Fi network even if one or several APs fail for any reason, as long as at least one AP in the network is online.
Security	Use DPSK to eliminate the risks of shared passwords and lock down access to the Wi-Fi network—without complex configurations. In addition, secure your network and protect your clients with WPA encryption, client isolation and 802.1x for RADIUS and Active Directory.
Zero Touch Mesh	Add new Unleashed APs to the existing network securely over the air. Dramatically speed up and simplify the installation of an Unleashed network.
Multiple Language Support	Create and manage your Wi-Fi network in your own language. RUCKUS Unleashed currently supports 13 languages.
URL Filtering	Define web access rules for your network users. Protect your network from malware and phishing sites.
Social Login	With the built-in Social Login feature, you can sign into the Unleashed mobile app using your Gmail, Facebook or Twitter account, and link your Unleashed Wi-Fi network. From that point on, you can manage your Unleashed network from anywhere in the world using your social login.
Remote Management	Need a quick answer or help troubleshooting a network issue? Just tap the “Invite for Remote Management” option on the mobile app, and send a text message or email with a link containing all the Unleashed network information  to an expert.
AP Groups	Apply multiple configuration profiles to different groups of APs.
Zero IT	Easily onboard customers or employees onto your Wi-Fi network through a simple, self-service portal.
SSID Rate-Limiting	If you want to limit data speeds for a particular group of users (such as guest users), you can create a separate SSID with a data rate “speed limit” that you define.
