This means fewer APs, more satisfied users, and a cost effective system that can be installed anywhere by non-wireless experts.



A Web-based wizard allows any computer user to configure ZoneFlex 7942s through the ZoneDirector creating a secure and sophisticated WLAN in a matter of minutes. Ruckus ZoneFlex 7942s simply plug into any Ethernet network and automatically discover the ZoneDirector. No RF tuning. No client configuration. A true plug-and-play multimedia WLAN that is ready to use.

Benefits
