Ruckus ZoneFlex 7761-CM Wi-fi Access Point

Strand-Mounted, Dual-Band 802.11n Smart Wi-Fi AP

ZoneFlex 7761-CM

• Dual-Band 802.11n Smart Wi-Fi Outdoor AP
• with Integrated DOCSIS 3.0 Modem
• First high performance strand-mounted 802.11n
• Smart Wi-Fi access point with cable modem

Benefits

• Integrated DOCSIS 3.0 modem with 8 x 4 bonded channels
• Ruggedized outdoor enclosure bonded 8 downstream and 4 upstream channels in a DOCSIS 3.0 certified modem
• Unprecedented outdoor Wi-Fi performance
• Advanced, Smart Wi-Fi design with concurrent 802.11n dual-band radios

Unified, centralized Wi-Fi management eases administration

Centralized network management platform provides a detailed view into and control over both indoor and outdoor Smart Wi-Fi APs enabling seamless and system-wide administration of the entire wireless environment

Unmatched Wi-Fi range and reliability

 Automatic dynamic beamforming with 802.11n (3 x 3) combined with unique interference avoidance technology delivers up to 9dBi of signal gain to maximize capacity and coverage

• Extended coverage means fewer APs
• Directional, high-gain antennas dynamically combine to deliver
• two- to four-times the coverage area compared to typical outdoor APs
• Proven support for IP-based voice and video over Wi-Fi

A dynamic directional antenna array and expert QoS software optimize delay-sensitive, IP video and high-density voice over Wi-Fi (VoFi) applications and PoE output allows connecting other devices such as an IP camera

Strand mounted hardened enclosure for outdoor deployment

 IP-67 water and dust proof plastic enclosure with strand mount for deployment at cable MSOs

Enables a myriad of new services and service opportunities

Smart Wi-Fi applied outdoors now enables new revenue-generating services such as community Wi-Fi, IP-video applications, multimedia hotspots, extended WLAN services outdoors and 3G data offloading

Lower deployment costs and reduced truck rolls

Lightweight enclosure simplifies deployment. Remote reboots between APs and Cable Modem Management minimizes truck rolls. The Ruckus ZoneFlex 7761-CM is a the first purpose-build strand-mounted access point to combine dual-band 802.11n with an inte­grated DOCSIS 3.0 certified modem and patented smart antenna array technology to deliver unprecedented range and reliabiity for multiple system cable operators (MSOs)
Plant-powered, the Ruckus 7761-CM is lightweight and can be eas­ily installed and integrated with the cable operator’s network.

It leverages existing cable assets, including mounting, power, back­haul and customer service systems to quickly and easily extend wireless services to cable operators’ customers.

The Ruckus ZoneFlex 7761-CM leverages the industry best dual-band 802.11n outdoor smart antenna technology to fulfill the promises of 802.11n — while delivering unparalleled simplicity, throughput, range and reliability at a fraction of the cost of con­ventional alternatives.

The ZoneFlex 7761-CM implements Ruckus-patented BeamFlex™ smart antenna technology that enables consistent, high-perfor­mance, extended coverage and multimedia support. Network operators can create different quality of service for various WLANs to provide tiered services.

The ZoneFlex 7761-CM is the industry’s first AP to integrate a DOCSIS 3.0 modem supporting 8 downstream and 4 upstream bonded channels with theoretical data rates of up to 340 Mbps (downstream) and 130 Mbps (upstream).

The Ruckus ZoneFlex 7761-CM is ideal for MSOs expanding branded broadband services through their cable infrastructure to provide hotspot services to hotels, resorts, train stations, and other public locations. The 7761-CM delivers broadband services from outdoors to extend managed wireless LANs (WLANs) for strand mounted locations and where Ethernet cabling is not feasible.

The ZoneFlex 7761-CM can be centrally managed as part of a uni­fied indoor/outdoor wireless LAN or deployed as a standalone AP and managed individually or through the FlexMaster remote Wi-Fi management system.

Remote monitoring and network management

The Ruckus 7761-CM can be remotely manageable using either the Ruckus Wi-Fi FlexMaster management platform and/or the Service Provider’s own Cable Management system to take advantage of the best of both worlds in terms of cable network management and wire­less monitoring.

The integrated management approach provides complete network-wide support for Fault, Configuration, and Performance Management. Patent pending software algorithm allows the Ruckus 7761-CM to be remotely controlled from either the Cable MSO management system or from the Wireless mesh interface in the case of temporary network interruptions, thereby avoiding expensive and inefficient truck rolls.
