Ruckus R650 Indoor Access Point - Unleashed

High traffic indoor environments, such as classrooms, retail shops and branch offices, can be some of the most demanding Wi-Fi environments.Dozens of users share the same crowded spectrum and all expect a fast, reliable connection to their content and applications.

The Ruckus R650 offers the ideal combination of performance, affordability and 802.11ax features for medium-density locations. It offers fast data rates (up to 2,400Mbps) and Ruckus density-handling intelligence to support dozens of users with guaranteed throughput, all at an affordable price.

The R650 is perfect for environments such as classrooms, university lecture halls, libraries, retail shops and branch offices. It can easily support online digital learning spaces with more than 30 students per classroom or university lecture halls that deliver simultaneous HD video streams to dozens of student devices.

The R650 802.11ax Wi-Fi AP incorporates patented technologies found only in the Ruckus Wi-Fi portfolio.

• Extended coverage with patented BeamFlex+, which uses multi-directional antenna patterns.
• Improved throughput with ChannelFly, which dynamically finds and uses less congested Wi-Fi channels.

With four streams of MultiUser MIMO (MU-MIMO) connectivity, the R650 can transmit to multiple client devices simultaneously, improving RF efficiency and overall throughput for all users - even those with non-Wave 2 clients. The R650 also features a USB port for hosting IOT devices and two Gigabit Ethernet ports that support link aggregation for increased throughput to the switch.

Whether you are deploying ten or ten thousand APs, the R650 is easy to manage through Ruckus' appliance, virtual and cloud management options.

Your benefits:

• Superb WI-FI PERFORMANCE
  With patented BeamFlex+™ adaptive antenna technology that uses 512 directional patterns, interference is reduced and coverage is extended.
• CONNECT MORE DEVICES
  Connect more devices simultaneously with four spatial MU-MIMO streams and simultaneous dual-band 2.4/5GHz radios, while improving the performance of non-Wave 2 devices.
• AUTOMATISE THE OPTIMUM THROUGHPUT
  ChannelFly's dynamic channel technology uses machine learning to automatically find the least congested channels. You always get the highest throughput the band can support.
• MORE MANAGEMENT OPTIONS
  Manage the R650 from the cloud, with on-site physical/virtual devices or without a controller.
• Improve Mesh Networking
  Reduce expensive cabling and complex mesh configurations by ticking a box with SmartMesh wireless mesh networking technology to dynamically create self-forming, self-healing mesh networks.
• Advanced BACKHAUL
  Couple two onboard Ethernet ports with link aggregation (LACP) to maximise throughput between AP and switch.
• MORE THAN WI-FI
  Support services beyond Wi-Fi with RuckusIoT Suite, Cloudpath security and onboarding software, SPoT Wi-Fi location engine and SCI network analytics.

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.
