Ruckus R350 Indoor Access Point - Unleashed

The H550 is the perfect choice for providing multiple services in hospitality and residential environments, such as hotel guest rooms, dormitories, flats and other building complexes. It can connect wired network devices such as IPTV set-top boxes, IP phones or networked mini-bars, while offering dual-band Wi-Fi 6 coverage as well as Zigbee and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). As a result, the H550 supports a wide range of IoT endpoints, minimising the need for standalone IoT networks and simplifying the deployment of IoT solutions.

A PoE port and pass-through features allow devices to be connected and powered directly through the wall switch. An integrated cable channel can even be used to connect legacy devices such as digital phones that require native access to PBX systems. All of these in-room services can co-exist in the same junction box, dramatically reducing cabling, installation time and construction costs.

The H550 wall-mounted Wi-Fi 6 AP incorporates patented technologies found only in the RuckusWi-Fi portfolio:

• - Expand coverage with patented BeamFlex+, which uses multi-directional antenna profiles.
• - Improve throughput with ChannelFly, which dynamically scans for free or underutilised Wi-Fi channels to use.
• - Maximise the reliability of video and IP-based voice communications over Wi-Fi networks with the SmartCast traffic prioritisation engine.

With multi-user MIMO connectivity, the H550 can transmit and receive simultaneously from multiple Wi-Fi 6 clients, improving network radio transmission and overall performance, even for non-Wi-Fi 6 clients. The H550 also features a USB port to support future add-on radios, easy-to-implement mesh networking capabilities and support for up to 100 clients per room. Whether you deploy ten or ten thousand APs, the H550 is easy to manage via Ruckus' controller-less, appliance, virtual and cloud management options.

Based on the latest Wi-Fi 6E standard, the RUCKUS R760 bridges the performance gap between "gigabit" Wi-Fi to "multi-gigabit" Wi-Fi to meet the insatiable demand for better and for better and faster Wi-Fi. For businesses that need more wireless capacity grow.

What is Wi-Fi 6E / 6 GHz Wi-Fi?

Wi-Fi 6E is an extension of the Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) standard and enables the use of the 6 GHz frequency band in addition to the supported 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands. The wider 1200 MHz spectrum provides greatly improved WLAN performance with significantly higher throughput and wider channels. It also offers tremendous efficiency, which is reflected in even more simultaneous connections, intelligent connection selection and more capacity.

The Ruckus R750 is our high-end dual-band, dual-current Wi-Fi 6 AP that supports 8 spatial streams (4x4:4 in 5GHz, 4x4:4 in 2.4GHz). The R750 with OFDMA and MU-MIMO capabilities efficiently manages up to 1024 client connections with increased capacity, enhanced coverage and performance in ultra-high density environments. In addition, multi-gigabit Ethernet ensures that backhaul is not a bottleneck to fully utilising available Wi-Fi capacity.

Enterprise wireless requirements are also moving beyond Wi-Fi with BLE, Zigbee and many other non-Wi-Fi wireless technologies. Enterprises need a unified platform to eliminate network silos. The Ruckus AP portfolio is equipped to solve these challenges through wireless convergence.

The R750 features integrated IoT radios with built-in BLE and Zigbee capabilities. In addition, the R750 is a converged access point that allows customers to seamlessly integrate new wireless technologies into the USB port.

FortiGate 80F FAQ

Does the FortiGate 80F have an SFP port?
Yes, the FortiGate 80F is the smallest FortiGate model currently available, which has 2x SFP ports.

What are FortiGate 80F Shared Ports?
As described above, the FortiGate 80F has 2x shared media ports (SFP ports). This means that only one of the two can be actively used in the shared pair. So in this case you can use either WAN1 or SFP1.

Does the FortiGate 80F offers HA?
A high-availability cluster (HA cluster) describes two firewalls that run simultaneously and, in the unlikely event of a failure of one device, immediately switch to the other device without any interruption in productive operation. The failover is ensured by an active-active cluster. For this, however, both devices must be licensed in the same way. An overview of the detailed configuration options can be found here.

Is there a FortiGate 80F Rackmount Kit?
While the FortiGate 80F is not a 19" model and therefore not rackmountable, various third-party rackmount kits are offered. Our recommendation is the FortiGate 80F/81F Rackmount Kit from Rackmount-IT.
