Ruckus H550 Spezial Access Point - Unleashed

The H550 is the perfect choice for providing multiple services in hospitality and residential environments, such as hotel guest rooms, dormitories, flats and other building complexes. It can connect wired network devices such as IPTV set-top boxes, IP phones or networked mini-bars, while offering dual-band Wi-Fi 6 coverage as well as Zigbee and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). As a result, the H550 supports a wide range of IoT endpoints, minimising the need for standalone IoT networks and simplifying the deployment of IoT solutions.

A PoE port and pass-through features allow devices to be connected and powered directly through the wall switch. An integrated cable channel can even be used to connect legacy devices such as digital phones that require native access to PBX systems. All of these in-room services can co-exist in the same junction box, dramatically reducing cabling, installation time and construction costs.

The H550 wall-mounted Wi-Fi 6 AP incorporates patented technologies found only in the RuckusWi-Fi portfolio:

• - Expand coverage with patented BeamFlex+, which uses multi-directional antenna profiles.
• - Improve throughput with ChannelFly, which dynamically scans for free or underutilised Wi-Fi channels to use.
• - Maximise the reliability of video and IP-based voice communications over Wi-Fi networks with the SmartCast traffic prioritisation engine.

With multi-user MIMO connectivity, the H550 can transmit and receive simultaneously from multiple Wi-Fi 6 clients, improving network radio transmission and overall performance, even for non-Wi-Fi 6 clients. The H550 also features a USB port to support future add-on radios, easy-to-implement mesh networking capabilities and support for up to 100 clients per room. Whether you deploy ten or ten thousand APs, the H550 is easy to manage via Ruckus' controller-less, appliance, virtual and cloud management options.

The Unleashed Access Point does not require a dedicated controller to create and manage a WLAN network. Instead, one of the APs acts as a master, taking on the functions of a controller and managing the other APs as members. The unleashed access points are suitable for smaller WLAN deployments where only a small number of access points are required. Leashed access points, on the other hand, require an external controller, such as a ZoneDirector or a SmartZone, to create and manage a WLAN network. The Leashed APs are suitable for larger WLAN deployments where a large number of APs are required.
