The busiest outdoor locations can have the most demanding wireless requirements. Somehow you need to provide the same top-tier capacity and performance as a crowded large office or convention center floor, but packaged in a way that can stand up to the rigors of outdoor deployments.

Designed for the highest-density outdoor venues, the Ruckus T710 access point delivers Ruckus’ premier Wi-Fi in an ultra-lightweight, industrial-grade (IP 67-rated) enclosure. This dual-band 802.11ac AP features patented Ruckus technologies to extend range, mitigate interference, and deliver blazing fast performance—up to data rates of 800Mbps (2.4GHz) and 1.733Gbps (5GHz), the highest available for Wi-Fi clients. The T710 also provides a full range of next-generation 802.11ac features to deliver industry-leading capacity, reliability, and coverage in the most crowded outdoor spaces.

The T710 is an ideal solution for high-density public venues such as airports, convention centers, plazas, malls, and other dense urban environments. It is also well-suited to public outdoor hotspots, smart cities, and coverage for outdoor enterprise and university campuses, where support for data-intensive streaming HD video applications is imperative.

The Ruckus T710 802.11ac Wi-Fi AP 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.

With 802.11ac Multi-User MIMO (MU-MIMO) support, the T710 can simultaneously transmit to multiple MU-MIMO capable devices, drastically improving RF efficiency and overall throughput for even non-Wave 2 clients.

The T710 is also designed with an SFP fiber interface that enables seamless connectivity to a fiber backhaul.

Whether you’re deploying ten or ten thousand APs, the T710 is also easy to manage through Ruckus’ appliance, virtual and cloud management options.

Access Point Antenna Pattern

Ruckus’ BeamFlex+ adaptive antennas allow the T710 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.
