Data Sheet

The R750 is based on the latest Wi-Fi 6 standard 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 R750 is the first Wi-Fi 6 AP to be certified by Wi-Fi Alliance as Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 6. As part of the Wi-Fi Alliance testbed, the R750 validates other devices for Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 6 interoperability.

The Ruckus R750 is our high-end dual-band, dual-concurrent Wi-Fi 6 AP that supports 8 spatial streams (4x4:4 in 5GHz, 4x4:4 in 2.4GHz). The R750, with OFDMA and MU-MIMO capabilities, efficiently manages up to 1024 client connections with increased capacity, improved coverage and performance in ultra-high dense environments.

The R750, with OFDMA, TWT and MU-MIMO capabilities, efficiently manages up to 1024 client connections with increased capacity, improved coverage and performance in ultra-dense environments. Furthermore, multi-gigabit Ethernet ensures the backhaul is not a bottleneck for full use of available Wi-Fi capacity.

Also, wireless requirements within enterprises are expanding beyond Wi-Fi with BLE, Zigbee and many other non-Wi-Fi wireless technologies. Enterprises need a unified platform to eliminate network silos. The Ruckus AP portfolio is equipped to solve these challenges through wireless convergence.

The R750 has built-in IoT radios with onboard BLE and Zigbee capabilities. In addition, the R750 is a converged access point that allows customers to seamlessly integrate any new wireless technologies with our USB port.

The R750 addresses the increasing client demands in transit hubs, auditoriums, conference centers, and other high traffic 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 R750 is also easy to manage through Ruckus physical and virtual cloud management options.

The R750 when paired with the Ruckus Ultra-High-Density Technology Suite found only in the Ruckus Wi-Fi portfolio, dramatically improves network performancethrough a combination of patented wireless innovations and learning algorithmsthat 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 are deploying ten or ten thousand APs, the R750 is also easy to manage through Ruckus’ physical and virtual management options.

Access Point Antenna Pattern

Ruckus’ BeamFlex+ adaptive antennas allow the R750 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.
