Modern Wi-Fi device users expect reliable connectivity— anywhere, anytime, even if they are experiencing Wi-Fi for the first time. But users often experiencepoor coverage, dropped connections, and reduced data rates with "good enough" Wi-Fi solutions. These aggravating Wi-Fi experiences can easily translate to negative perceptions of the venue and the service provider, resulting in loss of business. The quality of the network experience becomes the "litmus test" for acceptance or rejection.
As the market leader in outdoor Wi-Fi deployments, Ruckus knows that the first impressions matter, especially for first time Wi-Fi users. This is why the Ruckus T305 802.11ac Wave 2 series is designed to meet outdoor AP needs in the market today, even when basic Wi-Fi connectivity is all that is needed. Available in either internal or external omni-directional antenna models, for areas with poor to no coverage, the T305 Series uses patented Ruckus antenna optimization technologies to improve throughput, connection reliability, and deliver industry-leading 802.11ac Wave 2 performance to every connected client. At the same time, the T305 Series is designed for fast, simple installation with an ultra-lightweight, low profile, IP-67 rated enclosure that can stand up to the most challenging outdoor environments.
At Ruckus, we know that outdoor AP deployments are especially challenging for installation and maintenance, which is why Ruckus outdoor APs use a variety of technologies, like SmartMesh that help simplify outdoor AP deployment.
The Ruckus T305 Series is perfect for basic Wi-Fi connectivity for dense rural or urban environments. By providing a superior Wi-Fi experience to every user in dense outdoor locations, venue operators can improve guest satisfaction and loyalty, deliver new kinds of wireless application services, and increase revenues.
The Ruckus T305 Series incorporates Ruckus patented technologies:.
- 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 T305 Series is easy to manage through Ruckus' appliance and virtual management options.
Benefits

ChannelFly™ dynamic channel technology uses machine learning to automatically find the least congested channels. You always get the highest throughput the band can support.
BEYOND WI-FI
Support services beyond Wi-Fi with Cloudpath security and onboarding software, SPoT Wi-Fi locationing engine, and SCI network analytics.

Access Point Antenna Pattern
Ruckus' BeamFlex adaptive antennas allow the T305 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.





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.

PLEASE NOTE: When ordering outdoor APs, you must specify the destination region by indicating -US, -WW, or -Z2 instead of XX. When ordering PoE injectors or power supplies, you must specify the destination region by indicating -US, -EU, -AU, -BR, -CN, -IN, -JP, -KR, -SA, -UK, or -UN instead of -XX.
For access points, -Z2 applies to the following countries: Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Morocco, Tunisia, and Vietnam.
1 Max EIRP varies by country setting.
* BeamFlex gains are statistical system level effects translated to enhanced SINR based on observations over time in real-world conditions with multiple APs and many clients.
2 Rx sensitivity varies by band, channel width and MCS rate.
3 Max power varies by country setting, band, and MCS rate.
