Engineers (IEEE). 802.11n is the older version of Wi-Fi, launched in 2009. It improved over previous versions of Wi-Fi with multiple radios, advanced transmit and receive techniques, and the option to use 5 GHz spectrum\u2014all of which translate to a data rate of up to 600 Mbps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>802.11ac, introduced in 2014, is the latest generation. It adds wider channels and the ability to utilize up to eight data streams (\u201cspatial streams\u201d) with downlink using multi-user multiple input, multiple output (MU-MIMO) techniques for simultaneous transmission on up to four devices. These are changes over the previous standard that yield a maximum data rate of more than 3 Gbps, and even higher in the future. It also operates exclusively in the cleaner, capacity-rich 5 GHz frequency band.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_you_should_care\"><\/span>Why you should care:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Older 802.11n technology is now widely deployed, and still does a good job for many applications. But if you\u2019re deploying wireless infrastructure today, especially in a new, \u201cgreen field\u201d deployment, 802.11ac is the way to go. You might have heard some grumbling about real-world 802.11ac throughput gains not living up to expectations. And that was sometimes true for early products. But the second generation of 802.11ac\u2014known as \u201cWave 2\u201d\u2014delivers major advantages over 802.11n, with room to grow. To get the most from 802.11ac, however, you need solutions built with solid wireless fundamentals, thoughtful radio design and very good antennas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Related_Products_and_Solutions\"><\/span>Related Products and Solutions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ruckuswireless.com\/solutions\/communications-service-provider\/managed-wifi-services\">Managed Wi-Fi Services<\/a>&nbsp;<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ruckuswireless.com\/products\/access-points\/ruckus-indoor\/ruckus-h320\">H320 Indoor Access Point<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"80211ac_Wave_2\"><\/span>802.11ac Wave 2<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"General_Networking_Technologies-2\"><\/span>General Networking Technologies<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_it_means-2\"><\/span>What it means:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>802.11ac Wave 2 is the newest version of the newest Wi-Fi standard.

With wireless speeds as fast or faster than wired networks, many businesses now use it as the primary way to connect to the LAN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ruckus got in early on the 802.11ac game, offering one of the leading Wave 2 access points and the industry\u2019s first commercially available Wave 2 outdoor access point. Today, we offer one of the largest Wave 2 portfolios on the market. By combining Wave 2 capacity with our technology breakthroughs in Smart Wi-Fi intelligence and antenna design, we\u2019re making the dream of super-fast 802.11ac a reality in thousands of locations worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Related_Products_and_Solutions-2\"><\/span>Related Products and Solutions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ruckuswireless.com\/solutions\/communications-service-provider\/managed-wifi-services\">Managed Wi-Fi Services<\/a>&nbsp;<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ruckuswireless.com\/solutions\/communications-service-provider\/mobile-data-wifi-offload\">Mobile Data\/Wi-Fi Offload<\/a>&nbsp;<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ruckuswireless.com\/products\/access-points\/ruckus-indoor\/ruckus-h320\">H320 Indoor Access Point<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Files\"><\/span>Files<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/webresources.ruckuswireless.com\/datasheets\/r510\/ds-ruckus-r510.html\">Ruckus R510<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/webresources.ruckuswireless.com\/datasheets\/t710\/ds-ruckus-t710.html\">Ruckus T710 Series<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"80211ax\"><\/span>802.11ax&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"General_Networking_Technologies-3\"><\/span>General Networking Technologies<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_it_means-3\"><\/span>What it means:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>802.11ax, is the latest Wi-Fi IEEE wireless standard. This new standard brings significant advances on multiple fronts.&nbsp; It expands the multiple input, multiple output (MU-MIMO) techniques to transmit simultaneously on up to eight streams compared to four streams on 802.11ac Wave 2. Furthermore, it piggybacks on MU-MIMO with Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) technology allowing each MU-MIMO stream to be split into four additional streams, boosting effective average throughput per user by four times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Introduction of new modulation and coding sets with 1024-QAM allows for more data to be transmitted per packet resulting in better throughput. It also improved the overall physical and MAC layer efficiency and improves the battery power management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If earlier standard was like a long line of customers waiting in a grocery store for one cashier, MU-MIMO expanded it to four cashiers serving four lines of customers in 802.11ac. 802.11ax expanded it further to eight cashiers serving eight lines of customers. With OFDMA, now the cashier gets the ability to handle multiple customers at a time when they are free. Imagine, a cashier being able to serve the next customer, if the first customer decides to do a quick run back to pick something up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_you_should_care-3\"><\/span>Why you should care:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Wi-Fi is now being deployed at crowded stadiums or busy airports with hundreds of thousands of devices fighting for bandwidth which the current 802.11ac standard has challenges in supporting. 802.11ax increase the average throughput per user by 4x in high-density scenarios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The newest standard combined with Ruckus\u2019&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ruckuswireless.com\/rucktionary\/ultra-high-density-technology-suite\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ultra-High-Density Technology Suite<\/a>&nbsp;will empower you to deliver the best end-user experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Related_Products_and_Solutions-3\"><\/span>Related Products and Solutions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ruckuswireless.com\/products\/access-points\/ruckus-indoor\/ruckus-r730\">R730 Indoor Access Point<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Files-2\"><\/span>Files<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/webresources.ruckuswireless.com\/pdf\/wp\/wp-idc-evaluating-802.11ax-wi-fi-standard.pdf\">Evaluating the new 802.11ax Wi-Fi Standard and What It Will Mean for Enterprises<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Airtime_Decongestion\"><\/span>Airtime Decongestion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Performance_Optimization\"><\/span>Performance Optimization<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_it_means-4\"><\/span>What it means:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>APs and Clients continuously exchange management frames to maintain a connection.

This happens in mixed environments where some devices are using older wireless technologies, or when some clients are much farther away than others. Like a teacher doling out snacks, access points share their capacity equally, giving each device its turn to download the same number of packets. If your colleague\u2019s ancient laptop, or a tablet connected down the hall, takes a lot longer to download them, you\u2019ll feel that delay\u2014and so will everyone else connected to that AP. Instead, airtime fairness gives every device the same transmission time, no matter how many packets they receive. So older or more distant clients don\u2019t slow everyone else down, and your network gains capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Videos\"><\/span>Videos<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/JaH_uVtk8nM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bill Kish on Airtime Fairness<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Asset_Tracking\"><\/span>Asset Tracking<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Location_and_Analytics\"><\/span>Location and Analytics<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_it_means-6\"><\/span>What it means:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Asset Tracking is a way to keep track of a device\u2019s location using Wi-Fi, radio frequency ID (RFID) tags, or a combination of both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_you_should_care-6\"><\/span>Why you should care:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Many organizations\u2014especially schools, hospitals, and others with large campuses\u2014have lots of expensive equipment that moves around all the time. Whether it\u2019s tablets or laptops used by students and teachers, audiovisual equipment, lab or clinical equipment, organizations want to be able to know where their assets are located. Modern wireless technologies offer two ways to do this. For devices connected to the Wi-Fi network, you can use Wi-Fi location and positioning tools to see their location. For assets with an RFID tag attached, you can use similar tools that use Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacons to track them. If you\u2019re using a Ruckus Smart Positioning Technology (SPoT), you can do both.

For devices with \u201cdual-band\u201d capability, connecting over 5 GHz is usually the better choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With band steering, the wireless system monitors all clients in the environment, keeping track of whether they\u2019re single-band or dual-band, and which types of APs are in their proximity. When a dual-band device tries to connect over 2.4 GHz, the AP steers it towards the cleaner, higher-capacity 5 GHz frequency band instead. Users on the 2.4 GHz band win too, because they\u2019re now sharing that spectrum with fewer devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Videos-2\"><\/span>Videos<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/yFLwdPu6lJE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Daryl Kaiser on Band Steering<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"BeamFlex_Adaptive_Antenna_Technology\"><\/span>BeamFlex Adaptive Antenna Technology<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Performance_Optimization-4\"><\/span>Performance Optimization<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_it_means-8\"><\/span>What it means:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Smart, compact adaptive antenna systems containing multiple elements that electrically manipulate antenna properties so as to create optimal antenna patterns for each device with which they communicate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_you_should_care-8\"><\/span>Why you should care:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditional wireless antennas are either \u201comnidirectional\u201d (radiating signals in all directions) or \u201cdirectional\u201d (radiating signals in one direction).

class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_it_means-9\"><\/span>What it means:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Beamforming is a technique APs use to focus their radio signals in the direction of the clients they\u2019re communicating with to gain better capacity and throughput. And while \u201cbeamforming\u201d and Ruckus\u2019 \u201cBeamflex\u201d technology sound similar, they\u2019re not the same thing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When most technology vendors talk about beamforming, they mean \u201ctransmit beamforming,\u201d (TxBF), which is achieved through signal processing built into the AP\u2019s chip. In contrast, Ruckus\u2019 Beamflex+ technology focuses radio signals using smart adaptive antennas. Beamflex+ is not part of the industry-standard chip. We add this capability\u2014which works at the antenna-level\u2014and we\u2019re the only vendor that has successfully implemented it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_you_should_care-9\"><\/span>Why you should care:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>When APs target their signals directly to clients, the signal is stronger (better throughput), and the overall airspace is cleaner (less interference from signals bouncing all over the place). So we can all agree that beamforming is a good thing. But some vendors claim TxBF is all you need. That\u2019s not quite true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Transmit beamforming requires feedback from the client\u2014which means devices have to support the TxBF protocol to benefit from it, and many don\u2019t. Transmitters using TxBF also can\u2019t use spatial multiplexing at the same time (another technique that\u2019s widely used to get more capacity in the same airspace).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Ruckus\u2019 revolutionary BeamFlex and BeamFlex+ Adaptive Antenna technology, you can provide benefits for all clients. So your RF spectrum stays much cleaner, and your network delivers better throughput and reliability. Want to use both? You can: BeamFlex and BeamFlex+ technologies add benefit on top of whatever beamforming technology may be implemented in the chip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Files-5\"><\/span>Files<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/webresources.ruckuswireless.com\/pdf\/wp\/wp-using-all-the-tools-you-can.pdf\">Beamforming: Using All the Tools You Can<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Links-2\"><\/span>Links<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/theruckusroom.ruckuswireless.com\/wired-wireless\/technologytrends\/making-the-most-of-multi-user-mimo\/\">Making the Most of Multi-User MIMO<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Campus_Fabric_Technology\"><\/span>Campus Fabric Technology<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Performance_Optimization-6\"><\/span>Performance Optimization<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_it_means-10\"><\/span>What it means:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on open standard IEEE 802.1BR Bridge Port Extension technology, Ruckus Campus Fabric integrates premium, mid-range, and entry-level switches by collapsing the network access, aggregation, and core layers into a single domain that shares services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The control bridge and a port extender are the building blocks of a Campus Fabric. The traditional aggregation\/core layer is replaced by switches that act as the control bridge which is the brain of the complete Campus Fabric technology. The access layer is replaced by switches that operate in port extender mode; these switches provide connectivity to PCs, laptops, IP phones, and other access devices. The control bridge communicates with the attached port extender devices using protocols defined in the IEEE 802.1BR standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_you_should_care-10\"><\/span>Why you should care:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditional access networks are highly inefficient and rigid, requiring network teams to connect to each individual network devices to provision resources, apply configuration changes, and deploy network policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike the traditional three-tier network design, Ruckus Campus Fabric collapses the network into a single logical device.

But in many environments, a client can connect to any of several APs. Ruckus APs and ZoneDirector software track every client in the environment and distribute connections more evenly, while making sure that each device has a strong signal. So your WLANs make better use of their capacity, and users get better throughput and quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Videos-4\"><\/span>Videos<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/f-Bs-kstDfk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Daryl Kaiser on Client Load Balancing<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Client_Roaming_and_SmartRoam\"><\/span>Client Roaming and SmartRoam+<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Performance_Optimization-9\"><\/span>Performance Optimization<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_it_means-15\"><\/span>What it means:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Client roaming allows wireless devices to switch from one AP to another more quickly and intelligently as they move through a space. This is especially important for latency- and quality-of-service (QoS)-sensitive applications like voice and video, where sticking too long with an AP as you move away from it will degrade performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_you_should_care-14\"><\/span>Why you should care:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re using a mobile device, you\u2019re likely to be, well, mobile. Which means your experience will suffer if your device doesn\u2019t know when to switch from the AP you connected with when you walked in the door to the one across the convention hall where you are now. Unfortunately, many devices get \u201cstuck\u201d to their previous AP for too long. This is especially problematic for voice and video applications, and a major source of frustration in high-density environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Ruckus SmartRoam+ technology, you can force clients to switch to a new AP when their signal gets too weak. Your users get better roaming. And, even more important in dense public venues, you won\u2019t waste network capacity communicating with too many devices over slower, weaker connections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dynamic_Pre-shared_Key_DPSK\"><\/span>Dynamic Pre-shared Key (DPSK)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Network_Security-2\"><\/span>Network Security<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_it_means-16\"><\/span>What it means:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Dynamic Pre-Shared Key (DPSK) is a Ruckus-patented technology that delivers secure network access by providing each device and user with a unique login credential. Users access the wireless network using their own personal key, which is provided as part of the network onboarding process. In contrast, with conventional pre-shared keys (PSKs), multiple, or even all, users share the same key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_you_should_care-15\"><\/span>Why you should care:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditional pre-shared keys create a security hole in network defenses because multiple users access the network with the same key. Conventional PSKs do not give IT teams visibility and control over devices on the network or the ability to map access policies to specific users and devices. Users readily share conventional PSKs with others, and IT cannot revoke them for one user without revoking access for all. DPSKs address the security flaws of conventional PSKs to make users, devices, data and the network more secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DPSKs are an alternative to digital certificates that provide similar security benefits. They are appropriate in cases where user experience considerations make it impractical to install a digital certificate on the device. This applies in cases where the user will only need network access for a limited time\u2014for example, in the case of guest users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Related_Products_and_Solutions-10\"><\/span>Related Products and Solutions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ruckuswireless.com\/products\/access-points\/ruckus-indoor\/ruckus-r710\">R710 Indoor Access Point<\/a>&nbsp;<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ruckuswireless.com\/products\/access-points\/ruckus-indoor\/ruckus-r600\">R600 Indoor Access Point<\/a>&nbsp;<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ruckuswireless.com\/products\/access-points\/ruckus-indoor\/ruckus-r510\">R510 Indoor Access Point<\/a>&nbsp;<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ruckuswireless.com\/products\/access-points\/ruckus-indoor\/ruckus-r500\">R500 Indoor Access Point<\/a>&nbsp;<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ruckuswireless.com\/products\/access-points\/ruckus-indoor\/ruckus-h510\">H510 Indoor Access Point<\/a>&nbsp;<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ruckuswireless.com\/products\/access-points\/ruckus-indoor\/ruckus-r310\">R310 Indoor Access Point<\/a>&nbsp;<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ruckuswireless.com\/products\/access-points\/ruckus-indoor\/ruckus-r610\">R610 Indoor Access Point<\/a>&nbsp;<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ruckuswireless.com\/products\/access-points\/ruckus-indoor\/ruckus-c110\">C110 Indoor Access Point<\/a>&nbsp;<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ruckuswireless.com\/products\/access-points\/ruckus-outdoor\/ruckus-7781-cm\">7781-CM Outdoor Access Point<\/a>&nbsp;<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ruckuswireless.com\/products\/access-points\/ruckus-outdoor\/ruckus-t710-series\">T710 Series Outdoor Access Point<\/a>&nbsp;<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ruckuswireless.com\/products\/access-points\/ruckus-outdoor\/ruckus-t301-series\">T301 Series Outdoor Access Point<\/a>&nbsp;<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ruckuswireless.com\/products\/access-points\/ruckus-outdoor\/ruckus-t300-series\">T300 Series Outdoor Access Point<\/a>&nbsp;<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ruckuswireless.com\/products\/access-points\/ruckus-outdoor\/ruckus-p300\">P300 Outdoor Access Point<\/a>&nbsp;<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ruckuswireless.com\/products\/access-points\/ruckus-outdoor\/ruckus-t610\">T610 Outdoor Access Point<\/a>&nbsp;<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ruckuswireless.com\/products\/software-and-saas\/cloudpath\">Cloudpath Enrollment System<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Footfall_Analytics\"><\/span>Footfall Analytics<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Location_and_Analytics-2\"><\/span>Location and Analytics<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_it_means-17\"><\/span>What it means:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Footfall analytics is a way to use the wireless network in a public venue (especially a retail store) to gain deep insight into how customers behave in a physical space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_you_should_care-16\"><\/span>Why you should care:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>While online is a big part of modern retail business, physical stores still play a huge role in the shopping experience.

Users\u2019 devices are loaded with the right credentials and security certificates.
