Ruckus MediaFlex™ 7200 Series
802.11n (2.4GHz) customer premise equipment for large-scale last mile networks
The Ruckus MediaFlex 7200 Series is two products in one. It is the world’s first CPE specifically designed and optimized for broadband operators building large-scale Wireless Broadband Access Networks.
It acts as a wireless access gateway, providing reliable connectivity to Wireless Broadband Access nodes, as well as an extended range indoor 802.11n (2.4 GHz) access point. The Ruckus Wireless Broadband Access solution lets operators deliver reliable, indoor/outdoor, always-on, broadband services using Smart Wi-Fi technology at a fraction of the cost and complexity of conventional alternatives.
Unprecedented reliability and dramatic increases in coverage
- Antenna diversity and automatic antenna selection optimizes signal quality to Wireless Broadband Network
- Automatic interference avoidance (AIM) mitigates multipath fading and avoids RF interference by continuously selecting the best signal path
Lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
- Reduces overall network infrastructure investment by deploying Smart Wi-Fi gateways in selected locations without significantly adding more expensive Access Points
- Simultaneously functions as a long-range wireless access gateway to outdoor Wireless Broadband Network and as a high performance Wi-Fi access point indoors
- Advanced customer premise equipment (CPE) designed to provide indoor (home and office) coverage extension of Ruckus Wireless Broadband Access
Simple Installation and Rich Functionality
- Discrete SSIDs and associated security configurations for differentiated services for both the WAN and LAN.
- Smart Wi-Fi gateway forwards the connected clients’ information to upstream servers for authentication, authorization, and billing purposes
- Remote management access allows service providers to restrict and control remote access to in-home subscriber units

The Ruckus Wireless Broadband Access solution lets operators deliver reliable, indoor/outdoor, always-on, broadband services using Smart Wi-Fi technology at a fraction of the cost and complexity of conventional alternatives. The Ruckus MediaFlex 7200 Series Smart Wi-Fi Gateway is the Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) that compliments the overall network build out to maximize coverage around the subscribers’ home and office.
The Ruckus MediaFlex 7200 Series is two products in one. It acts as a wireless access gateway, providing reliable connectivity to Wireless Broadband Access nodes, as well as an extended range indoor 802.11n (2.4 GHz) access point.
- Reliability
-
Patent-pending hardware and software let subscribers connect faster and more reliably to Wireless Broadband Access Networks by automatically optimizing around changing environmental conditions. Intelligent connection algorithms determine the fastest Wi-Fi mesh node with which to associate based on the highest data rates and best signal strength.
The Ruckus MediaFlex 7200 Series is the only system that provides unprecedented diversity through the use of unique, dual polarized antenna array. This provides the largest coverage area possible, the strongest resilience to interference and the highest receive sensitivity.
The Ruckus MediaFlex 7200 Series is equipped with integrated smart-MIMO antenna technology developed to reliably communicate with the Wireless Broadband Access Networks nodes. Compliment the Ruckus complete portfolio of ZoneFlex Access Points, the Ruckus MediaFlex 7200 Series 802.11n (2.4 GHz) wireless access gateway extends the Wireless Broadband Access Networks coverage to hard-to-reach indoor locations.
- Security
-
Discrete SSIDs and associated security configurations for both the WAN and LAN. The MediaFlex 7200 Series can also be configured to have multiple Home SSID’s to allow guest access on a separate SSID, while maintaining network security for home users.
Available with deployment using Ruckus Access Points, the Smart Wi-Fi gateway forwards the connected clients’s information to upstream servers for authentication, authorization, and billing purposes.
Remote management access allows service providers to restrict and control remote access to in-home subscriber units.
- Management
-
Self-installable, the Ruckus MediaFlex 7200 Series utilizes dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) for automatic configuration with the Wireless Broadband Access Networks. The Ruckus MediaFlex 7200 Series has a simple and intuitive user interface and provides a setup wizard to guide the home users to configure the device.
The Ruckus MediaFlex 7200 Series is equipped to be remotely manageable by the service provider’s network management center via HTTP or HTTPS. The Ruckus MediaFlex 7200 Series provides extensive statistics to the service provider’s network management center for ease of troubleshooting and monitoring.
The MediaFlex 7200 Series supports multiple home PCs by automatically assigning dynamic IP addresses. Network address translation (NAT) is used to give home PCs Internet access.
