2200 Series

High Performance 802.11g Smart Wi-Fi 
Bridge/Repeater

Reliable broadband connectivity to outdoor 
Wi-Fi networks and high performance Wi-Fi 
access point in a single device

The Ruckus MediaFlex 2200 Series is two products in one. It acts as 

a wireless access gateway, providing reliable connectivity to outdoor 

Wi-Fi networks, as well as an extended range indoor 802.11b/g 

access point.

The Ruckus MediaFlex 2200 Series is the world’s fi rst customer 

premise equipment specifi cally designed and optimized for broad-

band operators building large-scale metro Wi-Fi networks.

Patent-pending hardware and software let subscribers connect 

faster and more reliably to outdoor metro Wi-Fi networks – auto-

matically optimizing around changing environmental conditions. 

Intelligent connection algorithms determine the fastest Wi-Fi mesh 

node with which to associate based on the highest data rates and 

best signal strength.

The Ruckus MediaFlex 2200 Series is the only system that provides 

unprecedented diversity through the use of a unique, dual polar-

ized antenna array. This provides the largest coverage area possi-

ble, the strongest resilience to interference and the highest receive 

sensitivity.

The Ruckus MediaFlex 2200 Series is equipped with integrated 

smart-MIMO antenna technology developed to reliably com-

municate with the metro Wi-Fi nodes. Compatible with standard 

802.11b/g metro Wi-Fi nodes, the Ruckus MediaFlex 2200 Series 

802.11b/g wireless access gateway extends the metro Wi-Fi cover-

age to hard-to-reach indoor locations.

For increased deployment fl exibility, the Ruckus MediaFlex also 

comes equipped with an external RF connection. This provides the 

ability to deploy a high-gain antenna away from the CPE.

BENEFITS

Increased performance/range for communicating 

• 

with metro Wi-Fi nodes

Advanced customer premise equipment (CPE) 

designed to provide indoor (home and offi ce) 

coverage extension of metro Wi-Fi signal.

Dual zone support

• 

Simultaneously functions as a long-range wireless 

access gateway to outdoor Wi-Fi networks and as 

a high performance Wi-Fi access point indoors.

Unprecedented reliability

• 

Antenna diversity and automatic antenna selec-

tion optimizes signal quality to metro Wi-Fi 

network.

Secure management access

• 

PIP management access allows providers to 

restrict and control remote access to in-home 

subscriber units. 

Robust security

• 

Discrete SSIDs and associated security confi gura-

tions for both the WAN and LAN.

Automatic interference avoidance

• 

Mitigates multipath fading and avoids RF interfer-

ence by continuously selecting the best signal 

path to the metro Wi-Fi nodes.

Long-range bidirectional connectivity

• 

Wi-Fi node selection based on link capacity and 

high output power deliver faster, long-range con-

nections (optional external RF antenna connection 

available).  

Automatic upgrades

• 

Periodic updating provides automatic downloads 

of latest fi rmware without user intervention.
