Wi-Fi capacity requirements in classrooms, office spaces, and medium-size venues are rising due to the increase in the number of Wi-Fi connected devices. An increase in bandwidth requirements for applications and an ever-growing assortment of IoT devices puts further strain on already stretched Wi-Fi networks.
The R550 access point (AP) with the latest Wi-Fi 6 (802.11 ax) technology delivers the ideal combination of increased capacity, improved coverage and affordability in dense environments. The R550 is our mid- range dual-band, dual-concurrent AP that supports four spatial streams (2×2:2 in 2.4GHz/5GHz). The R550 supports peak data rates of up to 1774 Mbps and efficiently manages up to 512 clients connections.
- Stunning Wi-Fi Performance – Mitigate interference and extend coverage with patented BeamFlex+™ adaptive antenna technology utilizing several directional antenna patterns.
- Serve more devices – Connect more devices simultaneously with four MU-MIMO spatial streams and concurrent dual-band 2.4/5GHz radios while enhancing device performance.
- Converged access point – Allow customers to eliminate siloed networks and unify Wi-Fi and IoT technologies into one single network by using built-in BLE and Zigbee, and also expand to any future wireless technologies.
- Automate Optimal Throughput – ChannelFly dynamic channel technology uses machine learning to automatically find the least congested channels. You always get the highest throughput the band can support.
- Better Mesh Networking – Reduce expensive cabling, and complex mesh configurations by checking a box with SmartMesh wireless meshing technology to dynamically create self-forming, self-healing mesh networks.
- More than Wi-Fi – Support services beyond Wi-Fi with RUCKUS IoT Suite, Cloudpath security and onboarding software, SPoT Wi-Fi locationing engine, and RUCKUS analytics.

ACCESS POINT 天線模式
Ruckus 的 BeamFlex 調適性天線可讓 R320 AP 即時從眾多天線模式 (高達 64 種可能組合) 中動態選擇一種,為每部裝置建立最佳連線。這可以提供下列優點:
- 優異的 Wi-Fi 覆蓋範圍
- 減少 RF 干擾
一般 Access Point 中常見的傳統全向性天線會朝所有方向發射非必要的 RF 訊號,以致環境中的訊號過於飽和。相形之下,Ruckus BeamFlex 調適性天線以封包為單位,根據裝置來導向射頻訊號,以達最佳的即時 Wi-Fi 覆蓋範圍與容量,充分支援高裝置密度的環境。BeamFlex 操作時無需裝置回應,因此即使是使用舊式標準的裝置,仍可以享有這些優點。
