7781-CM Outdoor Access Point

Outdoor 802.11n Wi-Fi Access Point with Cable Modem

In a competitive marketplace, cable operators are looking to differentiate their services and grow revenues by extending broadband Wi-Fi throughout their coverage areas. But overlaying existing hybrid fiber coax (HFC) cable networks with new Wi-Fi services can be a complex—and expensive—proposition.

The Ruckus 7781-CM outdoor access point delivers the industry’s highest performing 802.11n 3x3:3 Wi-Fi in a lightweight, strand-mounted form factor that easily integrates with existing HFC networks. It features patented Ruckus technology to extend wireless range and reliability, combined with an integrated DOCSIS 3.0-, EuroDOCSIS-, and Japan-certified cable modem. Available with an omnidirectional antenna, the 7781-CM delivers consistent, reliable data access in a wide range of high-density environments.

Tecnología de antena adaptativa BeamFlex

Optimización del rendimiento

Qué significa:

Sistemas compactos e inteligentes de antenas adaptativas con varios elementos que manipulan eléctricamente las propiedades de las antenas de manera de crear patrones de antena óptimos para cada dispositivo con el que se comunican.

Por qué debe importarle:

Las antenas inalámbricas tradicionales son “omnidireccionales” (emiten señales en todas las direcciones) o “direccionales” (emiten señales en una dirección). La tecnología de antena adaptativa BeamFlex de Ruckus emplea un enfoque más adaptable. La tecnología BeamFlex permite que el sistema de antenas dentro de un PA de Ruckus detecte y se optimice continuamente para su entorno. Este sistema de antenas mitiga la interferencia de radio, el ruido y los problemas de rendimiento de red, y mejora los flujos de las aplicaciones. Los resultados son:

  • Rendimiento y rango mayores
  • Comunicaciones de video y de voz claras
  • Eficiencia energética maximizada

BeamFlex+ es una mejora de la tecnología de antena adaptativa BeamFlex de Ruckus, que brinda soporte adaptativo a dispositivos móviles. BeamFlex+ permite que las antenas se adapten a la orientación y a la ubicación de los dispositivos del cliente.
