| DESCRIPTION |
The Ruckus MediaFlex adapter is the first Wi-Fi adapter with integrated smart-MIMO antenna technology developed to reliably receive IP-based multimedia content throughout the home. One of the most sensitive Wi-Fi receivers on the market, the Ruckus MediaFlex adapter is ideal for providing reliable Wi-Fi connectivity to Ethernet-equipped media devices such as set-top boxes, personal video recorders, media centers and media center extenders. Specifically developed as a high performance receiver for the Ruckus MediaFlex router system, the Ruckus MediaFlex adapter 802.11b/g adapter provides unprecedented range and reliability, effectively eliminating Wi-Fi dead spots and hard-to-reach locations. When used (but not required) with the Ruckus MediaFlex multimedia AP/router, the Ruckus MediaFlex adapter constantly tunes the signal path to enable the most stable and reliable Wi-Fi connectivity possible. This maximizes range and assures uninterrupted bandwidth for whole-home multimedia transmissions. Service providers can deploy the Ruckus MediaFlex adapter in subscribers’ homes to deliver broadcast quality, IP-based video applications, such as IPTV and IPVoD (Video on Demand), without truck rolls for wiring installations. |
