RUCKUS R710

The RUCKUS R710 is a premier indoor access point, delivering industry-leading performance and reliability in the most demanding high-density locations. With data rates up to 800Mbps (2.4GHz) and 1.733Gbps (5GHz), the R710 delivers the highest available throughput for Wi-Fi clients.

The R710 delivers reliable, high-performance connectivity in schools, universities, public venues, hotels, conference centers, and other busy indoor spaces. The perfect choice for data-intensive streaming multimedia applications, it delivers picture-perfect HD-quality IP video, while supporting voice and data applications with stringent quality-of-service requirements.

The R710 802.11ac Wave 2 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 MultiUser MIMO (MU-MIMO) connectivity, the R710 can simultaneously transmit to multiple client devices, drastically improving RF efficiency, overall throughput, and availability—even for non-Wave 2 clients. The R710 also features a USB port for hosting IoT devices such as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacons, and dual Gigabit Ethernet ports that support Link Aggregation for highercapacity backhaul to the switch. The R710 supports up to 512 clients per AP and features capacitybased admission control to prevent APs from getting congested with too many attached devices.

Whether you’re deploying ten or ten thousand APs, the R710 is also easy to manage through RUCKUS’ appliance, virtual and cloud management options.

Stunning Wi-Fi Performance

Provide a great user experience no matter how challenging the environment with BeamFlex®+ adaptive antenna technology and a library of 4K+ directional
antenna patterns.

Serve More Devices

Connect more devices simultaneously with four MUMIMO spatial streams and concurrent dual-band 2.4/5GHz radios while enhancing non-Wave 2 device
performance.

Automate Optimal Throughput

ChannelFly® dynamic channel technology uses machine learning to automatically find the least congested channels. You always get the highest throughput the
band can support.

Multiple Management Options

Manage the R710 from the cloud, with on-premises physical/virtual appliances, or without a controller.

Better Mesh Networking

Reduce expensive cabling, and complex mesh configurations by checking a box with SmartMesh™ wireless meshing technology to dynamically create selfforming, self-healing mesh networks.

Expanded Backhaul

Pair two onboard 1GbE ports with link aggregation (LACP) to maximize throughput between the AP and wired switch.
