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 fi rst customer
premise equipment specifi cally 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 fl exibility, 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 offi ce)
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 confi gura-
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 fi rmware without user intervention.
