Inn at the Presidio, San Francisco

It used to be that only campers and soldiers could bed down in the Presidio. Now the Inn at the Presidio, built in 1903 as officers’ quarters, sets 26 comfy rooms right in the middle of the park. The restored brick beauty has tile fireplaces and wide porches whose rocking chairs are perfect for peeping the Golden Gate Bridge.

The ZoneFlex 7982 delivers consistent performance and maintains stable connections within high-capacity environments and to smart mobile devices that constantly change their location and orientation.

With BeamFlex, the ZoneFlex 7982 offers a 2-4x increase in performance and range and is capable of delivering up to 9 dB of signal-to-interference-plus-noise (SINR) improvement and up to 15 dB of interference mitigation over other APs. Capable of supporting 500 concurrent clients, the ZoneFlex 7982 simultaneously supports spatial multiplexing and BeamFlex to deliver the best price/performance of any three-stream 802.11n AP.

With a stream throughput of 450 Mbps per radio, the ZoneFlex 7982 ensures maximum throughput to three-stream capable clients while also improving single and dual-stream client performance. This is achieved through the unique combination of adaptive antenna technology, predictive channel selection and adaptive polarization diversity.

centrally-managed Wireless LAN with the Ruckus ZoneDirector Smart WLAN controller.

The perfect choice for data-intensive streaming multimedia applications, the ZoneFlex 7982 delivers picture perfect HD-quality IP video while supporting VoIP and data applications that have stringent quality of service requirements. smart Meshing makes the ZoneFlex 7982 ideal for reliably extending Wi-Fi services to areas where cabling Ethernet isn’t possible or economical — saving time and money.
