POINT-TO-POINT, POINT-TO-MULTIPOINT  
WIRELESS BRIDGE
Centrally Managed, High Performance 802.11n 5GHz  
Outdoor Wireless Bridge
The Ruckus ZoneFlex 7731 is the first centrally-managed, outdoor 
point-to-point and point-to-multipoint bridge that unleashes the 
promise of 5GHz 802.11n, delivering unparalleled throughput. 
Backhaul throughput of over 100 Mbps opens opportunities to 
new business models, bridging remote locations and providing 
broadband services to locations not reachable before, in an 
affordable way.
Designed for harsh outdoor conditions, the Ruckus ZoneFlex 7731 
is perfect for service providers looking to easily extend branded 
broadband services, backhaul 3G networks, offload data traffic 
from 3G networks, deploy multimedia hotspots, or offer wireless 
broadband services where fixed line access is limited. 
The ZoneFlex 7731 is also ideal for hotels, schools, warehouses 
and other enterprises looking to extend managed wireless LANs 
(WLANs) across remote buildings and where Ethernet cabling is  
not possible.
Auto-pairing of wireless bridges, in addition to flexible mounting 
options, forgiving antenna pattern, and an easy-to-use aiming 
software, allows installers to deploy and optimize a wireless link 
in a short time, significantly increasing productivity and reducing 
deployment costs. 
The ZoneFlex 7731 can be managed through its own WebGUI or 
is centrally managed by Ruckus FlexMaster, providing a complete 
view of the entire wireless network including ZoneDirector and other 
indoor and outdoor ZoneFlex APs.
BENEFITS
Wire-like throughput over the air 
Based on the 802.11n standard, the ZoneFlex 7731 supports 
data rates up to 300 Mbps. With Ruckus’ purpose-built 
directional antenna, the ZoneFlex 7731 supports up to 190 
Mbps at 1.5 kilometers, and offers performance up to 50 
Mbps at 10 km (LoS).
Easy installation and pairing 
Lightweight and designed with simple and flexible mounting 
options, the ZoneFlex 7731 enables installers to deploy the 
wireless bridges effortlessly. 
Simple positioning and aiming 
With a 30-degree, 3dB beamwidth antenna and  
sophisticated LED-based aiming software, aiming and 
optimizing performance has never been easier. And 
with Auto Channel Selection and Dynamic Channel 
Management, ZoneFlex 7731 finds and selects the best 
performing channel automatically.
Secure and scalable
AES-based, the wireless bridge link is secure and can scale to 
support multiple networks segmented by VLANs.
Centrally managed network
The Ruckus ZoneFlex 7731 bridge can be fully managed 
by FlexMaster and supports standard-based SNMP and 
HTTPS/XML/SOAP allowing operators to easily configure 
and manage the bridges as part of the larger network.
Unmatched ROI
The wireless link offers much higher data throughput rates 
than T1/E1 or xDSL lines at only a fraction of the fixed line 
installation cost and without the recurring leased line cost. 
The ZoneFlex 7731 is also an ideal option for backhauling 
3G networks.
Environmentally-friendly design 
The internal dual polarized antenna not only does away the 
need for installing an external antenna, further simplifying 
the installation procedure, but also offers an aesthetically 
pleasing look and feel.
