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 most easy to use, yet robust and feature-

rich Wi-Fi Access Points designed to bring power and simplicity together for large-

scale indoor deployments.

Your ZoneFlex Access Point 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 up to fourteen high-gain direc-

tional antenna elements that allow ZoneFlex Access Points 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, visit
