ZoneFlex 7982 Overview

For enterprises and carriers requiring increased wireless performance, capacity, unparalleled ease of use and greater business value, particularly within high-density environments, the ZoneFlex 7982 is one of the most reliable and highest performing product in the industry. The ZoneFlex 7982 delivers consistent performance and maintains stable connections within high-capacity environments and to smart mobile devices that constantly change their location and orientation. The simple variation of a device's orientation can account for up to a 5x performance degradation among Wi-Fi products unable to adapt to such changes. To address these challenges, the ZoneFlex 7982 is the only three-stream 802.11n access point to combine dynamic polarization diversity with adaptive antenna arrays and transmit beamforming to give customers up to a 4x improvement in Wi-Fi performance, signal gain and reception.

ZoneFlex 7982 Data Sheet

DUAL-BAND 3X3:3 802.11N SMART WI-FI AP The Industry's Highest Capacity, Highest Performing Three-Stream 802.11n AP

Ruckus ZoneFlex 7982 is the industry's first dual-band, three-stream 802.11n access point that incorporates Ruckus-patented BeamFlex+ adaptive antenna arrays. Coupled with transmit beamforming (TxBF), when available, the ZoneFlex 7982 delivers the highest throughput of any AP in its class.

The ZoneFlex 7982 ensures the most reliable connectivity within challenging and ever-changing RF environments. With BeamFlex+, the ZoneFlex 7982 offers a 2-4x increase in performance and range and is capable of delivering up to 6 dB of signal-to-interference-plus-noise (SINR) improvement and up to 15 dB of interference mitigation over other APs. Capable of supporting 500 concurrent clients, the ZoneFlex 7982 simultaneously supports spatial multiplexing and BeamFlex+ to deliver the best price/performance of any three-stream 802.11n AP.

With a stream throughput of 450 Mbps per radio, the ZoneFlex 7982 ensures maximum throughput to three-stream capable clients while also improving single and dual-stream client performance. This is achieved through the unique combination of adaptive antenna technology, predictive channel selection and adaptive polarization diversity. Backward compatible with all existing clients, the ZoneFlex 7982 can function either as a standalone AP or as part of centrally- managed Wireless LAN with the Ruckus ZoneDirector Smart WLAN controller.

ZoneFlex 7982 is purpose-built for high-capacity, high performance and interference-laden environments such as airports, public venues, hotels, universities and conference centers. The perfect choice for data-intensive streaming multimedia applications, the ZoneFlex 7982 delivers picture perfect HD-quality IP video while supporting VoIP and data applications that have stringent quality of service requirements. Smart Meshing makes the ZoneFlex 7982 ideal for reliably extending Wi-Fi services to areas where cabling Ethernet isn't possible or economical � saving time and money.
