3 An increase in bandwidth requirements forapplications and an ever-growing assortment of IoT devices putsfurther strain on already stretched Wi-Fi RUCKUS R550 access point (AP) with the latest Wi-Fi 6 ( ax) technology deliversthe ideal combination of increased capacity, improved coverage and affordability in denseenvironments. The R550 is our mid- range dual-band, dual-concurrent AP that supports fourspatial streams (2x2:2 in ). The R550 supports peak data rates of up to 1774 Mbps and efficiently manages up to 512 clients , wireless requirements within enterprises are expanding beyond Wi-Fi with BLE, Zigbeeand many other non-Wi-Fi wireless technologies resulting in creation of network need a unified platform to eliminate network silos.

4 The RUCKUS AP portfolio isequipped to solve these R550 has built-in IoT radios with onboard BLE and Zigbee capabilities. In addition, theR550 is a converged access point that allows customers to seamlessly integrate any newwireless technologies with the pluggable IoT R550 is packed with RUCKUS patented technologies in addition to Wi-Fi 6 features such asOFDMA, MU-MIMO and TWT. The R550 is ideal for medium-density deployments such a, K-12classrooms, residence halls, hallways and office R550 Wi-Fi 6 AP incorporates patented technologies found only in the RUCKUS Wi-Fiportfolio.

6 All rights Point Antenna PatternRUCKUS BeamFlex+ adaptive antennas allow the R550 AP to dynamically choose among a hostof antenna patterns (up to 64 possible combinations) in real-time to establish the best possibleconnection with every device. This leads to: Better Wi-Fi coverage Reduced RF interferenceTraditional omni-directional antennas, found in generic access points, oversaturate theenvironment by needlessly radiating RF signals in all directions. In contrast, the RUCKUSBeamFlex+ adaptive antenna directs the radio signals per-device on a packet by-packet basis tooptimize Wi-Fi coverage and capacity in real-time to support high device density + operates without the need for device feedback and hence can benefit even devicesusing legacy 2.
