Product Datasheet

The Ruckus ZoneFlex 7372 delivers high-performance and reli-able 802.11n wireless networking at the industry’s most afford-able price point. Unlike any other 802.11n wireless solution in its class, the ZoneFlex 7372 combines patented adaptive antenna technol-ogy and automatic interference mitigation to deliver consistent, predictable performance at extended ranges with up to an additional 4dB of BeamFlex gain on top of the physical antenna gain and up to 10dB of interference mitigation.Additional performance enhancements to signal gain can be attributed to the chip-based transmit beamforming capability adding 3 dB when associated to a compatible client. The 7372 is also ideal for client performance with mobile devices that constantly change orientation with dual-polarized antennas that adapt to hand-held device movement.Each ZoneFlex 7372 integrates Ruckus-patented BeamFlex, a software-controlled, high gain antenna array that continually forms and directs each 802.11n packet over the best perform-ing signal path. The ZoneFlex 7372 automatically selects chan-nels for highest throughput potential using Ruckus ChannelFly dynamic channel management, adapting to environmental changes. Once deployed, enterprises never have to worry about constant site surveys as the environment changes.A sleek and low-prole design, the ZoneFlex 7372 was purpose-built for cost-minded enterprises requiring reliable high speed client connectivity. It is ideal for a variety of enterprise and hotspot environments including hotels, schools, retail outlets, branch ofces and public venues. Offered in single and dual band models, the ZoneFlex 7372 can be deployed as a standalone access point or as part of the centrally-controlled Smart Wireless LAN with the Ruckus ZoneDirector. The ZoneFlex 7372 can also be easily deployed using Smart Mesh Networking to extend Wi-Fi services in loca-tions where Ethernet cabling is not available or cost prohibitive.Dual-Band 802.11n Smart Wi-Fi Access PointsBENEFITSBest-in-class mid-range performance at lowest cost Unprecedented price/performance with extended range at the industry’s most affordable price point for both single and dual-bandExtended range requires fewer APs Adaptive antenna technology delivers a 2x to 4x increase in Wi-Fi signal coverage minimizing the number of APs required to service any areaWire-like wireless reliabilityPatented smart antenna array, adaptive antenna technology and Quality of Service technologies combine to mitigate interference and minimize packet lossSleek, low prole enclosure for ease-of-deploymentAesthetically-pleasing design ts almost anywhereChannel selection optimizes throughputChannelFly dynamic management, based on throughput measure-ments, not just interference, chooses the best channel to give users the highest throughput.Super simple conguration and managementThe industry’s simplest conguration and management through a Web-based wizard and automated deployment capabilitiesFlexible deployment optionsStandalone or controller-based deploymentSmart wireless meshingWhen used with a ZoneDirector Smart WLAN controller, the ZoneFlex 7372 easily extends Wi-Fi services to areas where Ethernet cabling isn’t available, possible or cost effectiveAdaptive Polarization Diversity (PD-MRC)Dual-polarized antennas that are dynamically selected provide better reception for hard to hear clients and more consistent performance as clients constantly change orientationHassle free migration to higher speed Wi-Fi Support for standard 802.3af power over Ethernet allows enterprises to use existing PoE switches without costly upgradesMultiple Ethernet portsOne Ethernet ports enable connectivity of wired devices such as printers, registers, VoIP phones, servers, etc.ZoneFlex™7372High Performance, 802.11n Mid-Range Smart Wi-Fi Access Points with Adaptive Antenna Technology

This allows a 2 to 4x improvement in signal range and a reduction in packet loss from the ability to automatically mitigate interference and avoid obstacles.Advanced WLAN Applications with Smart/OSWhen used with the Ruckus ZoneDirector Smart WLAN controller, each ZoneFlex 7372 supports a wide range of value-added appli-cations such as guest networking, Smart Wireless Meshing, Dynamic PSK, hotspot authentication, wireless intrusion detection and many more. With Smart/OS, WLANs can be created and mapped to the same or different APs or VLANs. In a centrally managed conguration, the ZoneFlex 7372 works with a wide range of authentication servers including Microsoft’s Active Directory, LDAP, and RADIUS.Flexible Deployment OptionsZoneFlex 7372 APs can be deployed as a standalone AP or as part of a centrally managed wireless LAN using ZoneDirector Smart WLAN controllers. ZoneFlex 7372 can be deployed across any L2/L3 network and can bridge trafc onto the local net-work, tunnel to a central location using L2TP or PPPoE, or route between the WAN and NAT’ed private subnets. It can be wired to the network or connect wirelessly by meshing to another AP when Ethernet cabling is unavailable. When used with the ZoneDirector, each ZoneFlex 7372 is automatically congured through the network making deployment quick and easy.Complete Local and Remote ManagementEach ZoneFlex 7372 can be managed as a standalone AP through a Web-based GUI, using SNMP or through the Ruckus FlexMaster Wi-Fi remote manage-ment system. Local management can also be performed using the ZoneDirector Smart WLAN controller. FlexMaster is a LINUX-based software platform that uses industry-standard protocols to perform bulk conguration, fault detection, monitoring and a wide range of troubleshooting capabilities over a wire area connection. The ZoneDirector enables local management and control of APs, adding value-added services such as transmit power control, guest networking and meshing.
