High Performance, 802.11ac Wave 2 Mid-Range Smart Wi-Fi Access Points with Adaptive Antenna Technology

Ruckus R510 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.

The Ruckus ZoneFlex R510 Unleashed delivers high-performance and reliable 802.11ac wireless networking with MU-MIMO (Multi-User Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) capability. MU-MIMO helps boost network throughput by serving multiple clients simultaneously and also benefiting non-Wave 2 clients, thus improving overall network performance.

The R510 Unleashed, through its USB port, also enables IoT readiness for technologies like BLE, which helps drive business efficiencies from both a revenue and cost perspective. It does this with existing 802.3af power, obviating the need for expensive, capital intensive switch upgrades.

Each ZoneFlex R510 Unleashed integrates Ruckus-patented BeamFlex+, a software-controlled, high gain antenna design that continually forms and directs each Wi-Fi packet over the best performing signal path.

Using dual-polarized antennas, the R510 Unleashed adapts in real-time to anticipate hand-held device movement and rotation ensuring consistent performance.

MU-MIMO

MU-MIMO helps Wave 2 and non-Wave 2 clients. The R510 Unleashed can communicate simultaneously to multiple Wave 2 clients increasing network performance. This frees up airtime for non-Wave 2 clients resulting in enhanced aggregate network throughput.

Advanced WLAN Applications

The ZoneFlex R510 Unleashed supports a wide range of valueadded applications such as BYOD/guest onboarding, Dynamic PSK, hotspot authentication, wireless intrusion detection and many more. The ZoneFlex R510 Unleashed works with a wide range of authentication servers including Microsoft’s Active Directory, LDAP, and RADIUS.

Complete Local And Remote Management

The ZoneFlex R510 Unleashed can be securely managed from anywhere at anytime using any browser on any device.
