Data Sheet

Modern users expect reliable connectivity on their mobile devices—anywhere, anytime. But in crowded outdoor venues with thousands of users and constant RF noise and interference, they are often frustrated by poor coverage, dropped connections, and reduced data rates. These bad Wi-Fi experiences can easily translate to negative perceptions of the venue overall.

The Ruckus T300 Series of dual-band 802.11ac outdoor access points provide consistent, reliable Wi-Fi connectivity in crowded public venues, at an affordable price. Available with either internal omni-directional antennas or optional external 5GHz antenna support, the T300 Series uses patented Ruckus antenna optimizations and interference mitigation technologies to extend range, improve throughput, and deliver industry-leading 802.11ac performance to every connected client. At the same time, the T300 Series is designed for fast, simple installation with an ultra-lightweight, low-profile, IP 67-rated enclosure that can stand up to the rigors of outdoor deployments.

The Ruckus T300 Series is perfect for high-density public venues such as airports, conventions centers, plazas and malls, and other dense urban environments. By providing a superior Wi-Fi experience to every user in high-capacity outdoor spaces, venue operators can improve guest satisfaction and loyalty, deliver new kinds of wireless location-based services, and increase revenues.

The Ruckus T300 Series incorporates patented technologies found only in the Ruckus Wi-Fi portfolio.

  • Extended coverage with patented BeamFlex+ utilizing multi-directional antenna patterns.
  • Improve throughput with ChannelFly, which dynamically finds less congested Wi-Fi channels to use.

Whether you’re deploying ten or ten thousand APs, the T300 Series is also easy to manage through Ruckus’ appliance, virtual, and cloud management options.

Access Point Antenna Pattern

Ruckus’ BeamFlex+ adaptive antennas allow the T300 AP to dynamically choose among a host of antenna patterns (up to 64 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.
