Overview:
The Industry's First Outdoor 802.11ac AP with BeamFlex+ designed for High Density Venues
The ZoneFlex T301 Series Unleashed enable 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 ZoneFlex T301 Series are the first dual-band 802.11ac outdoor access points (AP) designed explicitly for high density user environments such as stadiums, arenas, train stations, convention centers, and major metro areas.
The T301 Series are the only 802.11ac access points on the market to integrate patented BeamFlex™ technology. The T301 Series has internal high gain directional antennas to provide directed coverage solutions eliminating the need for bulky panel antennas and confusing and expensive external RF cabling. The T301 Series enable focused Wi-Fi coverage to mitigate interference and implicitly improve signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) in the most challenging RF environments.
In addition, the T301 Series uniquely leverages a predictive model for channel selection (ChannelFly) that uses actual activity to learn what channels will yield the most capacity to provide the highest client speeds and reduced interference.
Designed for easy installation within an ultra lightweight and low profile enclosure, the T301 Series is ideal for venue owners looking to quickly and economically deploy Wi-Fi in high-capacity environments such as stadiums, arenas, train stations, convention centers, and major metro areas. Using directed coverage, the APs can be deployed in close proximity, mitigating co-channel interference. This is critical as high density deployments require a large number of APs within a fixed space.

Controller-less Access Point Solution for SMB
Smart devices are playing a critical role in influencing customer decisions and behaviors. While Wi-Fi devices have become an absolute requirement for customers and employees, small to midsize businesses (SMBs) are challenged to deploy a reliable wireless network within a limited budget and little to no IT staff.
RUCKUS Unleashed is a controller-less wireless LAN solution that enables SMBs to deliver an optimal wireless experience at an affordable price point. Configured in 60 seconds and deployed in minutes, RUCKUS Unleashed eliminates the complexity pitfall of a controller-based WLAN. With easy migration options to the RUCKUS ZoneDirector, SmartZone or future RUCKUS platforms, RUCKUS Unleashed scales with your business. Now SMBs can deliver a Wi-Fi user experience with high RF performance and network resiliency.
With 802.11ac RUCKUS Unleashed access points (AP), users can take advantage of higher speeds, better coverage, and improved reliability. Unleashed APs include key RUCKUS technologies, such as BeamFlex+ Adaptive Antenna Technology to maximize signal coverage, throughput, and network capacity, and ChannelFly, RUCKUS's predictive capacity management for RF channel selection.
