Ruckus ZoneDirector 1200 WLAN Controller
The Ruckus ZoneDirector 1200 WLAN Controller system is developed specifically for small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs).
Ruckus ZoneDirector 1200 Key Features
- Thin desktop footprint
- Easy discovery from PC using UPnP
- Manage multiple locations and ZoneDirectors with FlexMaster
- Two 1000 Mbps ports for full redundancy
- Lifetime warranty coverage
- Central control and configuration of up to 75 ZoneFlex APs
- Support for 256 WLANs
With simplicity and ease of use in mind, the Ruckus ZoneDirector 1200 is purpose-built to address the gap between standalone, feature-deficient access points (APs) that must be individually managed and the costly, complex highend enterprise systems that are overkill for most small business environments.
The Ruckus ZoneDirector is ideal for small businesses that require a robust and secure WLAN that can be easily deployed, centrally managed and automatically tuned. The ZoneDirector 1200 is also perfect for businesses who want to provide services such as voice over Wi-Fi, IP-based video, secure enterprise access and tiered Wi-Fi services in venues such as hotels, airports, schools and public buildings.
Simple to use, simple to manage
Centralized management, quick setup, IT-Lite and automatic, real-time optimization of entire WLAN
802.11ac ready
ZoneDirector 1200 is 802.11ac ready as well as backwards compatible with all existing Ruckus ZoneFlex access points
IT Lite deployment in 5 minutes or less
A web-based configuration wizard lets any computer user configure an entire WLAN in minutes. Ruckus ZoneFlex APs auto-discover the ZoneDirector. Centralized management and automatic, real-time optimization of entire WLAN
Advanced WLAN features and functions
Advanced wireless networking features include rogue AP detection, interference detection, band steering, airtime fairness, role-based user policies, per-user rate-limiting, hotspot, guest networking services, VLAN pooling, application recognition and control
Smart Mesh Networking streamlines costly and complex deployment
Integrated Smart Mesh Networking technology automates deployment, eliminates the need to run Ethernet cable to every Smart Wi-Fi access point. Adaptable architecture with Hybrid Mesh extends the wireless network through Ethernet-connected APs, increasing system performance through better spatial reuse
Automatic user security
Dynamic PSK eliminates the requirement to configure and update individual PC client devices with unique encryption keys. Dynamic VLAN assignment seamlessly extends existing security policies to the WLAN
Distributed forwarding architecture
Maximizes data throughput by sending all data traffic directly from the access points to the wired network
