| DESCRIPTION |
The Ruckus ZoneFlex 2942 is the first centrally managed, multimedia 802.11g Wi-Fi access point that delivers industrial-strength features and functionality not available in any low-end consumer AP or high-end WLAN system. Together with the Ruckus ZoneDirector central WLAN controller, Ruckus ZoneFlex APs plug-and-play with minimum operational overhead. Ideal for hotels, schools, airports and small-to-medium businesses (SMBs) with little or no IT staff and a limited budget, the Ruckus ZoneFlex 2942 is also perfect for hot spot operators that want to deliver business class hot spot services – such as voice over Wi-Fi, IP-based video or secure enterprise access. The ZoneFlex 2942 implements Ruckus patented BeamFlex™ smart antenna technology that enables consistent, high performance, extended coverage and multimedia support as it automatically tunes itself to adapt to constant changes in the environment. This means fewer APs, more satisfied users, and a cost effective system that can be installed anywhere by non-wireless experts. A Web-based wizard allows any computer user to configure ZoneFlex 2942s through the ZoneDirector – creating a secure and sophisticated WLAN in a matter of minutes. Ruckus ZoneFlex 2942s simply plug into any Ethernet network and automatically discover the ZoneDirector. No RF tuning. No client configuration. A true plug-and-play multimedia WLAN that is ready to use. |
