Ruckus Wireless 1100 Controllers

Power Meets Simplicity – Smart Wireless LAN Controller


IT staff love cool networking features but not if it requires two-years of tedious training and massive manuals.

Our Ruckus Smart/OS software and applications is just that: smart. It delivers a bunch of wireless LAN features not found in any other centrally-managed system. And we don't nickel and dime you for them. Capabilities like:

  • Adaptive wireless meshing
  • Sophisticated user access controls
  • Automatic traffic redirection
  • Integrated Wi-Fi client performance tools
  • Elegant and simple guest networking functions
  • Rogue AP detection and advanced Wi-Fi security features
  • Flexible WLAN groups
  • Extensive authentication support
  • Robust network management

And it gets better.

Ruckus Smart/OS is widely-considered the most simple and straight forward centralized WLAN software system there is. Ruckus Smart/OS runs on all our ZoneDirector Smart WLAN controllers and uses a highly-intuitive Web user interface to make configuration and administration of the entire WLAN a breeze.

The first complete wireless LAN (WLAN) developed specifically for the needs and budgets of small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) and hotzone operators. Redundant and secure, the ZoneDirector 1100 gives them the same enterprise features as the ZoneDirector 3000. It’s perfect for operators who want to offer business class hot spot 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. Easily deployed, centrally managed, and automatically tuned, ZoneDirector 1000/1100 is ideal for small businesses that require a robust and secure WLAN.

The ZoneDirector 1100 integrates the Ruckus Smart/OS application engine that delivers advanced features such as smart wireless meshing, high availability, hot spot authentication, elegant guest networking and dynamic Wi-Fi security. It can be deployed and operated by non-wireless experts and installed quickly and easily through a point-and-click web-based wizard. Any organization with limited IT staff and budget can create a robust and secure multimedia WLAN in a matter of minutes.
