Ruckus R550 Access Point
The R550 802.11x access point offers the ideal combination of performance, reliability and coverage for medium-density indoor environments. It uses the same patented technologies as our leading high-density APs, supporting data rates of up to 1.7 Gbps and industry-leading Wi-Fi intelligence to extend coverage and reduce interference.
The End User WatchDog Support Per SmartZone/ virtual SmartZone AccessPoint licence gives you the option of licensing and supporting the access points connected to your controller. This licence includes first-class technical support from Ruckus around the clock, 365 days a year. It also includes important software updates and upgrades specifically for your access points.
Please note that this licence is only valid for the connected access points. A separate licence must be purchased for support of the controller itself. It is recommended to purchase licences with a similar duration to simplify administration during renewals and ensure smooth operation.
With this licence, you can ensure that your access points are always up to date and that you have reliable technical support at hand to solve potential problems quickly and efficiently. It provides comprehensive support for your wireless infrastructure and enables you to maximise the performance of your network components.

Small and medium-sized venues, by definition, host a smaller number of users and devices. But high performance Wi-Fi is just as important for each of them. People are still accessing the same bandwidth-intensive apps and cloud services they would use elsewhere. Businesses are still connecting an ever-growing range of mobile and Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Users and guests still expect consistent, reliable connectivity no matter where they move.
The R550 802.11x access point offers the ideal combination of performance, reliability and coverage for medium-density indoor environments. It uses the same patented technologies as our leading high-density APs and supports data rates of up to 1.7 Gbps, as well as industry-leading Wi-Fi intelligence to extend coverage and reduce interference.
The R550 is the perfect choice for medium-density locations such as small and medium businesses, hotel and office building common areas, retail shops and branch offices. In hotel common areas, for example, the R550 provides high-performance wireless access. In retail shops, it can provide reliable, unobtrusive connectivity for high-end video applications, wireless IP phones and portable point-of-sale scanners.
The R550 802.11ax Wi-Fi AP and Switch incorporates patented technologies found only in the Ruckus Wi-Fi portfolio.
- Expanded coverage with patented BeamFlex+, which uses multi-directional antenna patterns.
- Improve throughput with ChannelFly, which dynamically finds less congested Wi-Fi channels.
Additionally, the R550 802.11ax offers next-generation features such as MultiUser MIMO (MU-MIMO) connectivity. It can transmit to multiple client devices simultaneously, dramatically improving airtime efficiency and overall throughput for all users - including those with non-Wave 2 clients. The R550 also has a built-in Bluetooth radio for communicating with IoT devices via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), Zigbee and other Bluetooth-based protocols.
Whether you are deploying ten or ten thousand APs, the R550 is also easy to manage through Ruckus' appliance, virtual and cloud management options.
Your benefits:
- ATEMPLE WI-FI PERFORMANCE
Provide a great user experience no matter how demanding the environment with BeamFlex+™ adaptive antenna technology and a library of 64 directional antenna patterns. - CONNECT MORE DEVICES
Connect multiple devices simultaneously with two MU-MIMO space streams and simultaneous dual-band 2.4/5GHz radios, while improving the performance of non-Wave 2 devices. - AUTOMATE THE OPTIMUM THROUGHT
ChannelFly™ dynamic channel technology uses machine learning to automatically find the least congested channels. You always get the highest throughput the band can support. - MORE MANAGEMENT OPTIONS
Manage the R550 from the cloud, with on-site physical/virtual devices or without a controller. - Better MESH NETWORKING
Reduce costly cabling and complex mesh configurations by ticking a box with SmartMesh™ wireless meshing technology to dynamically create self-forming, self-healing mesh networks. - MORE THAN WI-FI
Support services beyond Wi-Fi with Ruckus IoT Suite, Cloudpath security and onboarding software, SPoT Wi-Fi localisation engine and SCI network analytics.
The Unleashed Access Point does not require a dedicated controller to create and manage a WLAN network. Instead, one of the APs acts as a master, taking on the functions of a controller and managing the other APs as members. The unleashed access points are suitable for smaller WLAN deployments where only a small number of access points are required. Leashed access points, on the other hand, require an external controller, such as a ZoneDirector or a SmartZone, to create and manage a WLAN network. The Leashed APs are suitable for larger WLAN deployments where a large number of APs are required.
