Ruckus ZoneFlex R310

Ruckus ZoneFlex R310
High Performance, 802.11ac Smart Wi-Fi Access Points with
The Ruckus ZoneFlex R310 delivers high-performance and reliable 802.11ac wireless networking at the industry’s most affordable price point.

Unlike any other 802.11ac wireless solution in its class, the ZoneFlex R310 combines patented adaptive antenna technology and automatic interference mitigation to deliver consistent, predictable performance at extended ranges with up to 4dB of statistical BeamFlex 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.

Each ZoneFlex R310 integrates Ruckus-patented BeamFlex, a software-controlled, high gain antenna array that continually forms and directs each 802.11ac packet over the best performing signal path. The ZoneFlex R310 automatically selects channels 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.

Geeky TV

 We seldom blog about a TV show but Person of Interest has our attention. Person of Interest is an American drama television series broadcasting on CBS.

 Show summary: An ex-CIA hitman partners with a scientist to prevent crimes before they occur in this drama/action project from J.J. Abrams. The show provides glimpses of advanced surveillance systems and high-tech configurations.

 Surveillance camera systems are prevalent in each episode. Systems that are wired, wireless, live remote view, hacked into, basically all the features currently available…and some features or deployments that are not. Or lets just say we see some artistic license in the features of the security cameras systems. 

My geeky side does enjoy looking at the surveillance and other high tech configurations and capabilities the show deploys. 

Person of Interest – we are watching!
