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.

Smart Wi-Fi 802.11g Multimedia Access Point

No RF experts required

Smart antenna array eliminates AP placement issues and

minimizes adjacent AP interference while ZoneDirector

controls dynamic channel assignment and power management

Breakthrough user performance and density

Advanced antenna array and precision QoS software delivers

20 concurrent voice call, 50 simultaneous data users or 20 Mbps

of sustained video quality throughput per access point

Extended coverage means fewer APs

Directional, high-gain antennas dynamically combined to give

hotspot operators and SMBs two to four times the coverage

over typical consumer and enterprise APs

Optimized for voice over Wi-Fi

Specialized antenna design, dynamic signal path selection and

precision QoS software optimize delay-sensitive, high-density

Vo-Fi applications. Power Save (UAPSD) maximizes handset

battery life

Proven video streaming support

Ruckus smart antenna system and video QoS already proven for

real time IP video streaming applications deployed by over 100

IPTV operators worldwide

“IT lite” conﬁguration and management

Web-based wizard enables conﬁguration of multiple APs

across the entire WLAN in minutes. Once conﬁgured the

WLAN manages itself

Enables business class hot spot services

New revenue opportunities for operators such as Voice-

over-WLAN services, extended enterprise access, IP video

applications and tiered service classes
