Introducing the ZoneFlex Access

Point

Overview of the ZoneFlex Access Point

Congratulations on your purchase of the Ruckus Wireless ZoneFlex Access Point!

ZoneFlex Access Points are the industry’s first centrally-managed Wi-Fi access points

that are capable of extending wireless signals two to four times farther than a

conventional access point.

Your ZoneFlex Access Point uses BeamFlex™, a patent-pending 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 six high-gain directional

antenna elements that allow ZoneFlex Access Point to find quality signal paths in a

changing environment, and sustain the baseline performance required for supporting

data, audio and video applications.

Your ZoneFlex Access Point can be deployed in standalone mode or as part of the

ZoneFlex smart WLAN system, in which it can be managed by either FlexMaster or

ZoneDirector WLAN controller.

NOTE: For more information on the ZoneFlex system (including FlexMaster and

ZoneDirector), BeamFlex, and other Ruckus Wireless technologies,
