MediaFlex™ 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 first customer premise equipment specifically 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 flexibility, 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 office) 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 configura- 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 firmware without user intervention.
