Your On-Ramp
The concept of Mobility is likely one of the most important social and technological movements in the last decade. It has permeated all aspects of our lives. A key enabler of this movement is WIFI as it is fast becoming the de-facto "on-ramp" technology to our global communications networks.
The SMB Conundrum
Many large enterprises have already begun building out enterprise-wide Wireless LAN infrastructures, but how do small and medium businesses adopt the same technology on a SMB budget? The cost and complexity of installing and maintaining a mission-critical WLAN can seem daunting for the budget conscious, resource limited SMB. While it is deceptively simple to setup a single WIFI access point, building a mission-critical infrastructure out of these APs can be a whole different story.
The Solution
Enter Ruckus ZoneFlex and WIFI solutions from Salter & Camp. The Ruckus ZoneFlex multimedia WLAN system is designed to address the unique requirements of the small and medium business.
Why Ruckus?
Coverage
The miracle of Ruckus-patented BeamFlex technology is the ability to provide ubiquitous coverage with fewer APs. This is one of the biggest benefits to small and medium businesses. Each Ruckus ZoneFlex access point integrates a high-gain, directional smart antenna array that focuses Wi-Fi signals only where they are needed. A single Ruckus ZoneFlex AP delivers two- to four-times the range of any conventional AP. As a result, users receive better connections that remain stable, with performance that remains predictable.
Ease of Use
With limited budgets and minimal IT staff, small and medium businesses, healthcare organizations and schools need a simpler approach to deploying a ubiquitous Wi-Fi network. Ruckus Smart Wireless LAN (WLAN) system is the first centrally-managed system designed for these organizations that require robust, reliable and adaptable Wi-Fi at the lowest total cost of ownership. Configuration of sophisticated authentication, state-of-the-art encryption, fast roaming, guest networking and wireless intrusion detection features using the Web-based wizard can be performed in minutes instead of hours or days. Also, the same limited IT staff can monitor and manage the system on an ongoing basis without greatly impacting their time.
Reliability
In addition to mobility, the main driving force behind a WIFI deployment is some underlying program within an organization that requires wireless data. That might be an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Point-of-Sale(POS) or Customer Relationship Managment (CRM) system or it could be an Electronic Medical Records (EMR) or Voice over IP (VoIP) application. Whatever it is - reliability is a must. Dropped connections result in a higher technical support cost, lost productivity and general increase in the frustration level of staff. The Ruckus ZoneFlex WLAN system combines patented long-range, directional Wi-Fi beamforming and beamsteering technology, called BeamFlex™, to enable the WLAN to adapt to the fluid RF environment and provide wire-like performance. By automatically directing RF signals over the best path to the receiving client device and steering signals around interference problems, they enable extended signal coverage by a factor of four, while effectively eliminating packet loss to ensure consistent connectivity and performance at range.
