| DESCRIPTION |
The Ruckus MediaFlex router is the first-of-its-kind wireless multimedia service platform that reliably distributes multimedia content over standard 802.11 Wi-Fi to every corner of the home. The Ruckus MediaFlex router combines innovative, patent-pending smart antenna and traffic management technologies to break down the barriers that have prevented a single Wi-Fi network from simultaneously supporting voice, video and data in the home. The Ruckus MediaFlex gives broadband operators a single system that reliably extends multimedia services throughout the home over standard 802.11 Wi-Fi while giving them unprecedented visibility into and control over subscriber Wi-Fi environments all the way down to end devices. Unlike any Wi-Fi system on the market, the Ruckus MediaFlex router constantly monitors the wireless environment, steering RF signals around interference and prioritizing different traffic types for transmission over the air. With the Ruckus MediaFlex system, consumers now have complete freedom and flexibility to distribute and enjoy multimedia content anywhere in their homes - all without wires. Meanwhile service providers can accelerate deployment, minimize installations costs and maximize service potential. |
