Ruckus Wireless today (http://telecomfunda.com/forum/) announced the immediate availability of the ZoneFlex 7762-AC, and the ZoneFlex 7762-S-AC - 802.11n outdoor AC-powered Wi-Fi access points (http://telecomfunda.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?151-WiMax) (APs) that integrate Ruckus' BeamFlex adaptive antenna array technology.
With AC power support, the 7762-AC is deigned for mounting to street lights, traffic controls, and other street furniture. In addition to public access services, the 7762-AC is designed to be co-located with small cell base stations to minimize site acquisition.
"With so much data traffic clogging cellular networks, operators are looking to re-architect by offloading data traffic to Wi-Fi and certain core processing functions to the edge of their mobile networks," said Rob Mustarde, vice president of marketing for Ruckus Wireless. "While unlicensed Wi-Fi was widely considered unreliable and uncontrollable by carriers, with recent advances in the technology, it is now being embraced by operators worldwide as one of the most economical tools for adding capacity, coverage and performance to support a new class of higher speed subscribers.
"Our new 7762-AC access points solve these problems with easy deployment anywhere AC power is available," he continued. "And with a full range of patented Smart Wi-Fi technologies integrated into each device, the 7762-AC offers the industry's best range, reliability and capacity over other 802.11n outdoor AP alternatives at a much more attractive price point."
