Extended coverage means fewer APs Each ZoneFlex 2942 integrates Ruckus-patented BeamFlex™ smart antenna technology that enables consistent, high performance, extended coverage and multimedia support as Directional, high-gain antennas dynamically combine to give hotspot operators and enterprises two- to four-times the coverage over typical consumer and enterprise APs. it automatically tunes itself to adapt to constant changes in No RF expertise required the environment. This means fewer APs, more satisfied users, Smart antenna array eliminates AP placement issues and minimizes adjacent AP interference. and a cost-effective system that can be installed anywhere by wireless novices. Channel selection optimizes throughput Deployed individually, or as a system centrally managed by ChannelFly dynamic management, based on throughput measurements, not just interference, chooses the best channel to give users the highest throughput. the Ruckus ZoneDirector™ Smart WLAN family of controllers, the Ruckus ZoneFlex 2942 can be deployed with or Optimized for voice over Wi-Fi without Ethernet cabling. Support for Ruckus Smart Mesh Specialized antenna design, dynamic signal path selection and precision QoS software optimize delay-sensitive, high-density Voice-overWi-Fi (VoFi) applications. Power Save (UAPSD) maximizes handset battery life. 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 configure 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 configuration. A true plug-and-play multimedia WLAN that is ready to use, stable and high performing. “IT lite” configuration and management Web-based wizard enables configuration of multiple APs across the entire WLAN in minutes. Once configured, 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. ZoneFlex 2942 802.11g Smart Wi-Fi Access Point Smart Wi-Fi 802.11n Multimedia Access Point Patented BeamFlex™ Technology Extends Signal Range, Improves Stability of Client Connections The ZoneFlex 2942 Smart Wi-Fi access point integrates a software-controlled smart antenna array that delivers 9 dBi of signal gain and 20 dBi of interference rejection. This allows a 2 to 4x improvement in signal range and a reduction in packet loss from the ability to automatically avoid interference and obstacles. Advanced WLAN Applications with Smart/OS When used with the Ruckus ZoneDirector Smart WLAN controller, the ZoneFlex 2942 supports a wide range of value-added applications such as guest networking, Smart Wireless Meshing, Dynamic PSK, hotspot authentication, wireless intrusion detection and many more. With Smart/OS, up to 2,048 discrete WLANs can be created and mapped to the same or different APs or VLANs. In a centrally managed configuration, the ZoneFlex 2942 works with a wide range of authentication servers including Microsoft’s Active Directory, LDAP, and RADIUS. A patented smart antenna array integrates six high-gain vertically-polarized and six horizontally-polarized antenna elements. This enables up to 4096 potential antenna combinations and up to 9 dBi gain, thereby delivering unprecedented range extension and signal reliability. The dual polarized smart antenna increases the effectiveness of spatial-multiplexing, resulting in higher data rates. Flexible Deployment Options ZoneFlex 2942 APs can be deployed as a standalone AP or as part of a centrally managed wireless LAN using ZoneDirector Smart WLAN controllers. ZoneFlex 2942’s can be deployed across any L2/L3 network, and can bridge traffic onto the local network, tunnel to a central location using L2TP or PPPoE, or route between the WAN and NAT’ed private subnets. It can be wired to the network or connected wirelessly by meshing to another AP when Ethernet cabling is unavailable. When used with ZoneDirector, the ZoneFlex 2942 is automatically configured through the network making deployment quick and easy. External RP-SMA RF Connector AC power 10/100 Ethernet Soft reset 10/100 802.3 af PoE Complete Local and Remote Management The ZoneFlex 2942 can be managed as a standalone AP through a Web-based GUI, using SNMP or through the Ruckus FlexMaster Wi-Fi remote management system. Local management can also be performed using the ZoneDirector Smart WLAN controller. FlexMaster is a LINUX-based software platform that uses industry-standard protocols to perform bulk configuration, fault detection, monitoring and a wide range of troubleshooting capabilities over a wire area connection. The ZoneDirector enables local management and control of APs, adding value-added services such as transmit power control, guest networking and meshing. An intuitive web-based wizard in the Ruckus ZoneDirector enables quick and easy configuration of each ZoneFlex 2942 in a matter of minutes. ZoneFlex 2942 802.11g Smart Wi-Fi Access Point ZF 2942 ZoneFlex 2942 Smart Wi-Fi access points can be deployed in standalone Guest SSID mode or managed by a centralized ZoneDirector. The ZoneFlex 2942 can ZF 2942 Voice SSID also be deployed with Ruckus Smart Mesh Networking, eliminating the need to run Ethernet cables to every access point. ZoneDirector Employee SSID Voice SSID Employee SSID Firewall Internet ZF 2942 Router RADIUS/AD ZF 2942 Automatic User Security Used with the Ruckus ZoneDirector, the Ruckus ZoneFlex 2942 provides first-of-its-kind automatic, robust user security enforcement. Provisioning secure wireless access often involves configuring all the client devices with a wireless setting such as an SSID and encryption key. Typically organizations use a single pre-shared key for all employees. This is a security problem and an ongoing operational headache. Ruckus Dynamic PSK™ on the Ruckus ZoneDirector and ZoneFlex 2942 automates this process to assure integrity of the user authentication system. First-time users simply plug their computers into the LAN and specify a URL that directs them to a captive portal for a one-time authentication. Upon authentication, the ZoneDirector automatically configures the user’s system with the designated SSID and a unique, dynamically-generated encryption key. The key can be removed automatically upon expiration, or manually when the user or their device is no longer trusted. Business-Class, Multimedia Hotspots The ZoneFlex 2942 lets operators build a new class of hotspots and offers multimedia hotspot services. Equipped with a dualpolarized directional antenna system, the ZoneFlex 2942 delivers stable connectivity to any Wi-Fi-enabled handheld device and flicker-free support for concurrent video streams and voice over Wi-Fi calls.
