The R850 is based on the latest Wi-Fi standard, Wi-Fi 6, which bridges the performance gap from 'gigabit' Wi-Fi to 'multi-gigabit' Wi-Fi in support of the insatiable demand for better and faster Wi-Fi.
The RUCKUS R850 is our highest capacity dual-band, dual-concurrent Wi-Fi 6 access point (AP) that supports 12 spatial streams (8x8:8 in 5GHz, 4x4:4 in 2.4GHz). The R850, with OFDMA, TWT and MU-MIMO capabilities, efficiently manages up to 1,024 client connections with increased capacity, improved coverage and performance in ultra-high dense environments. Furthermore, a 5 Gbps multi-gigabit Ethernet port mitigates backhaul capacity bottlenecks.
Additionally, the R850 is IoT- and LTE-ready, and supports wireless standards beyond Wi-Fi in combination with the RUCKUS IoT Suite and our CBRS/OpenG modules.
The R850 addresses the increasing client demands in transit hubs, auditoriums, stadiums, conference centers, and other highly trafficked indoor spaces. It is the perfect choice for dataintensive streaming multimedia applications like 4K video transmissions, while supporting latency sensitive voice and data applications with stringent quality-of-service requirements.
The R850 when paired with the RUCKUS Ultra-High-Density Technology Suite found only in the RUCKUS Wi-Fi portfolio, dramatically improves network performance through a combination of patented wireless innovations and learning algorithms that includes:
- Airtime Decongestion: Increases average network throughput in heavily congested environments
- Transient Client Management: Reduces interference traffic from unconnected Wi-Fi devices
- BeamFlex Antennas: Extended coverage and optimized throughput with patented multidirectional antennas and radio patterns
Whether you're deploying ten or ten thousand APs, the R850 is also easy to manage through our collection of on-premises or cloud-based management options.
Access Point Antenna Pattern
RUCKUS' BeamFlex+ adaptive antennas allow the R850 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.
