The R730 is based on the latest Wi-Fi standard, 802.11ax and bridges the performance gap from ‘gigabit’ Wi-Fi to ‘multi-gigabit’ Wi-Fi in support of the insatiable demand for better and faster Wi-Fi.
The Ruckus R730 is our highest capacity dual-band, dual-concurrent 802.11ax AP that supports 12 spatial streams (8x8:8 in 5GHz, 4x4:4 in 2.4GHz). The R730, with OFDMA and MU-MIMO capabilities, efficiently manages more than 1K client connections with increased capacity, improved coverage and performance in ultra-high dense environments. Furthermore, 5 Gbps multi-gigabit Ethernet ports enhances backhaul capacity.
Additionally, the R730 is IoT- and LTE-ready, and supports wireless standards beyond Wi-Fi in combination with the Ruckus IoT Suite and our CBRS/OpenG modules.
The R730 addresses the increasing client demands in transit hubs, auditoriums, stadiums, conference centers, and other highly trafficked indoor spaces. It is the perfect choice for data-intensive streaming multimedia applications like 4K video transmissions, while supporting latency sensitive voice and data applications with stringent quality-of-service requirements.
The R730 when paired with the Ruckus Ultra-High density Technology Suite found only in the Ruckus Wi-Fi portfolio, dramatically improves network performance through a combination of patented wireless innovations and learning algorithms that includes:
- Airtime Decongestion:Increases average network throughput in heavily congested environments
- Transient Client management:Reduces interference traffic from unconnected Wi-Fi devices
- BeamFlex+ Antennas:Extended coverage and optimized throughput with patented multi-directional antennas and radio patterns
Whether you’re deploying ten or ten thousand APs, the R730 is also easy to manage through Ruckus’ appliance and virtual management options.
Benefits
Connect More Devices Simultaneously
Improve device performance, by enabling more simultaneous device connections with built-in 12 spatial streams (8x8:8 in 5GHz, 4x4:4 in 2.4GHz), MU-MIMO and OFDMA technology.
Ultra-High-Density Performance
Provides exceptional end-user experience within stadiums, large public venues, convention centers and school auditoriums with the Ruckus Ultra-High-Density Technology Suite.
Enhanced Security
Upgrade to the latest Wi-Fi security standard with WPA3 and receive enhanced protection from man-in-the-middle attacks in the most secure way.
Multi-Gigabit Access Speeds
Optimized multi-gigabit Wi-Fi performance delivered using built-in 5GbE/2.5GbE Ethernet ports to connect to multi-gigabit switches.
Device Management Options
Manage the R730 with on premise physical/virtual appliances and control auto-provisioning for faster deployment and seamless firmware upgrades.
Better Mesh Networking
Minimize complexity by reducing expensive cabling with SmartMesh™ that dynamically creates self-forming, self-healing mesh networks.
Automate Optimal Throughput
ChannelFly™ dynamic channel technology uses machine learning to automatically find the least congested channels. You always get the highest throughput the band can support.
More Than Wi-Fi
Support services beyond Wi-Fi with Ruckus IoT Suite, Cloudpath security and onboarding software, SPoT Wi-Fi locationing engine, and SCI network analytics.
Access Point Antenna Pattern
Ruckus’ BeamFlex+ adaptive antennas allow the R730 AP to dynamically choose among a host of antenna patterns (over 4,000 possible combinations) in real-time to establish the best possible connection with every device. This leads to:
- Better Wi-Fi coverage
- Reduced RF interference
Traditional omni-directional antennas, found in generic access points, oversaturate the environment by needlessly radiating RF signals in all directions. In contrast, the Ruckus BeamFlex+ adaptive antenna directs the radio signals per-device on a packet by-packet basis to optimize Wi-Fi coverage and capacity in real-time to support high device density environments. BeamFlex+ operates without the need for device feedback and hence can benefit even devices using legacy standards.
Note: The outer trace represents the composite RF footprint of all possible BeamFlex+ antenna patterns, while the inner trace represents one BeamFlex+ antenna pattern within the composite outer trace.
