Introducing the Ruckus ZoneFlex 2942
The Ruckus ZoneFlex 2942 fills the gap between low end, feature-sparse
consumer AP and expensive, complex enterprise-class WLANs. It is the first
truly-affordable, centrally-managed 802.11g multimedia access point specifi-
cally designed for hot zone operators and SMBs. Working in concert with the
ZoneDirector system, the Ruckus ZoneFlex 2942 delivers a complete, plug-
and-play, secure and robust WLAN solution without the cost or complexity of
high-end systems.

High performance and cost effective
The Ruckus ZoneFlex 2942 is built on patented BeamFlex Smart antenna
technology that automatically adapts to the RF environment by steering Wi-Fi
signals on the best path and rejecting interference in real time. Each Ruckus
ZoneFlex 2942 comes equipped with a state-of-the-art, high-gain smart an-
tenna array designed to deliver unsurpassed density and range. Supporting
up to 50 simultaneous data users or 20 concurrent voice calls while its superior
coverage reduces the number of APs required by a factor of two or more, the
Ruckus ZoneFlex 2942 gives hot zone operators and SMBs the most cost-ef-
fective multimedia Wi-Fi solution.

IT “lite” deployment
The self-optimizing BeamFlex technology allows the Ruckus ZoneFlex 2942
to be installed without site survey and RF planning. Simply plug any Ruckus
ZoneFlex 2942 into an Ethernet and it automatically discovers the Ruckus
ZoneDirector and self-configures.

The Ruckus ZoneFlex 2942 and ZoneDirector system seamlessly integrate
with existing security systems such as firewalls, intrusion detection system and
authentication servers including RADIUS and ActiveDirectory. An internal au-
thentication database allows SMBs to implement user authentication without
the expenses and complexity associated with external authentication servers.

Minute configuration
Ruckus ZoneFlex 2942 APs are automatically configured by the Ruckus Zone-
Director. A network of APs can be centrally configured in a matter of minutes
through the ZoneDirector’s web-based wizard.

Automatic user security
Used with the Ruckus ZoneDirector, the Ruckus ZoneFlex 2942 provides first-
of-its-kind automatic, robust user security enforcement . Provisioning secure
wireless access often involves configuring all the client devices with wireless
setting such as an SSID and encryption key. Typically organizations use a single
pre-shared key for all employees. This is a security problem and is an ongoing
operational headache.

A state-of-the-art smart antenna array
integrates six high-gain vertically polarized
and six hortizontally polarized antenna
elements. This enables up to 4096 potential
antenna combinations and up to 7 dBi gain
thereby delivering unprecedented range
extension and Wi-Fi signal reliability. Expert
control software selects the best antenna
elements to use at any given moment for any
given packet and any given client based on
changing environmental conditions
