RUCKUS ZoneFlex 7372
Dual-Band 802.11n Mid-Range Smart Wi-Fi Access Points with Adaptive Antenna Technology

Benefits:

• Best-in-class mid-range performance at lowest cost - Unprecedented price/performance with extended range at the industry's most affordable price point for both single and dual-band
• Extended range requires fewer APs - Adaptive antenna technology delivers a 2x to 4x increase in Wi-Fi signal coverage minimizing the number of APs required to service any area
• Sleek, low profile enclosure for ease-of-deployment - Aesthetically-pleasing design fits almost anywhere
• Channel selection optimizes throughput - ChannelFly dynamic management, based on throughput measurements, not just interference, chooses the best channel to give users the highest throughput.
• Super simple configuration and management - The industry's simplest configuration and management through a Web-based wizard and automated deployment capabilities
• Flexible deployment options - Standalone or controller-based deployment
• Smart wireless meshing - When used with a ZoneDirector Smart WLAN controller, the ZoneFlex 7372 easily extends Wi-Fi services to areas where Ethernet cabling isn't available, possible or cost effective
• Adaptive Polarization Diversity (PD-MRC) - Dual-polarized antennas that are dynamically selected provide better reception for hard to hear clients and more consistent performance as clients constantly change orientation
• 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

High Capacity and Reliability:

RUCKUS ZoneFlex 7372 is one of the industry’s first dual-band, three-stream 802.11n access point that incorporates RUCKUS-patented BeamFlex™ adaptive antenna arrays. Coupled BeamFlex+ that incorporates transmit beamforming (TxBF), when available, the ZoneFlex 7372 delivers the highest throughput of any AP in its class.

The ZoneFlex 7372 ensures the most reliable connectivity within challenging and ever-changing RF environments. With BeamFlex+, the ZoneFlex 7372 offers a 2-4x increase in performance and range and is capable of delivering up to 9dB of signal-to-interference-plus-noise (SINR) improvement and up to 15dB of interference mitigation over other APs. Capable of supporting 500 concurrent clients, the ZoneFlex 7372 simultaneously supports spatial multiplexing and BeamFlex to deliver the best price/performance of any two-stream 802.11n AP.

With a theoretical throughput of 300Mbps per radio, the ZoneFlex 7982 ensures maximum throughput to three-stream capable clients while also improving single and dual-stream client performance.

Pervasive Performance:

The ZoneFlex 7372 integrates a patented software-controlled adaptive antenna array that delivers additional signal gain per radio chain. As BeamFlex adapts to client locations and RF signal polarity, the smart antenna array transmit and receive on a per packet basis. This allows for up to 4x improvement in signal range and a reduction in packet loss. By combining BeamFlex with the transmit-based beamforming, the ZoneFlex 7372 is capable of delivering up to 9dB of transmission gain.

Dynamic Clients:

In dynamic indoor and urban Wi-Fi environments, mobile device orientation constantly changes. This affects the polarization of the transmissions. Traditional Wi-Fi antennas are static in nature and only listen using one polarization. This prevents them from capturing the full signal from mobile client devices. The RUCKUS 7372 listens in all polarizations simultaneously. This results in over 2x (4dB) gain to mobile devices with weak transmitters.
