2942
SMART WI-FI 802.11G ACCESS POINT
The Best Performing 802.11g Smart Wi-Fi Access Point
with Adaptive Antenna Technology
The Ruckus ZoneFlex 2942 is the most affordable 802.11g Wi-Fi
access point (AP) that delivers advanced features and functionality not
available in any low-end consumer AP or high-end WLAN system.
Each ZoneFlex 2942 integrates Ruckus-patented BeamFlex™ smart
antenna technology that enables consistent, high performance,
extended coverage and multimedia support as it automatically tunes
itself to adapt to constant changes in the environment. This means
fewer APs, more satised users, and a cost-effective system that can
be installed anywhere by wireless novices.
Deployed individually, or as a system centrally managed by the
Ruckus ZoneDirector™ Smart WLAN family of controllers, the Ruckus
ZoneFlex 2942 can be deployed with or without Ethernet cabling.
Support for Ruckus Smart Mesh Networking streamlines costly and
complex deployment headaches, eliminating the need to run Ethernet
cabling to every access point. This minimizes operational overhead,
making the ZoneFlex 2942 ideal for hotels, schools, airports and
enterprises everywhere.
The ZoneFlex 2942 is also perfect for hot spot operators that want to
deliver business-class hot-spot services — such as voice over Wi-Fi,
IP-based video or secure enterprise access.
A web-based wizard allows any computer user to congure the
ZoneFlex 2942 through the ZoneDirector — creating a secure and
sophisticated WLAN in a matter of minutes. The Ruckus ZoneFlex
2942 simply plugs into any Ethernet network and automatically
discovers the ZoneDirector. No RF tuning. No client conguration.
A true plug-and-play multimedia WLAN that is ready to use, stable
and high performing.
BENEFITS
Best-in-class user performance and density for 802.11g
Advanced antenna array and Quality of Service (QoS)
software delivers 20 concurrent voice calls, 100 simultane-
ous data users or 20 Mbps of guaranteed user throughput
for a 5,000 square foot facility
Extended coverage means fewer APs
Directional, high-gain antennas dynamically combine to give
hotspot operators and enterprises two- to four-times the
coverage over typical consumer and enterprise APs
No RF expertise required
Smart antenna array eliminates AP placement issues and
minimizes adjacent AP interference
Channel selection optimizes throughput
ChannelFly dynamic management, based on throughput
measurements, not just interference, chooses the best
channel to give users the highest throughput
Optimized for voice over Wi-Fi
Specialized antenna design, dynamic signal path selection
and precision QoS software optimize delay-sensitive, high-
density Voice-over-Wi-Fi (VoFi) applications. Power Save
(UAPSD) maximizes handset battery life
“IT lite” conguration and management
Web-based wizard enables conguration of multiple APs
across the entire WLAN in minutes. Once congured, the
WLAN manages itself
Smart Mesh Networking streamlines costly and complex
deployment
Integrated Smart Mesh Networking technology automates
deployment, eliminates the need to run Ethernet cables to
every Smart Wi-Fi access point
Hassle free migration to higher speed Wi-Fi
Support for standard 802.3af Power over Ethernet allows
enterprises to use existing PoE switches without costly
upgrades
Enables business class hotspot services
New revenue opportunities are available for operators such
as (VoFi) services, extended enterprise access, IP video
applications and tiered service classes
