Overview:
The days when a consumer grade Wi-Fi could meet most small business needs are over. Today, even small businesses need fast, reliable and always-on connectivity for dozens or even hundreds of devices. At the same time, with few (if any!) IT staff, small businesses don't have the time or expertise to install and manage Wi-Fi.
RUCKUS Unleashed is a high-performance, simple-to-setup, easy-to-manage and affordable portfolio of access points (APs). These APs use our patented technologies to deliver industry leading performance, but in a package designed and priced for small businesses.
Blazing-Fast Wi-Fi Performance:
Nobody wants bad Wi-Fi. Customers hate it and, frankly, you don't have time for it. Fortunately, that's not something you need to worry about with Unleashed. Unleashed access points are packed with over ten years of patented Wi-Fi performance innovations-innovations that ensure you and your customers will be in Wi-Fi heaven, no matter how tough the environment.
Install and Manage with Ease:
With Zero-Touch Mesh, set up your entire Wi-Fi network in a few simple steps from a mobile device or browser with an intuitive, easy-to- understand user interface. Gain detailed insights about your network and perform all key administrative tasks from anywhere with the free RUCKUS Unleashed mobile app (available onApp StoreandGoogle Play).
More Than Wi-Fi:
Enhance your network with built-in features such as Guest Services, DPSK security, Zero IT onboarding and Application Visibility. If the internet goes out- even if an AP fails-you can continue to access printers and other network devices.
Protect Your Investment:
Scale up when you need to. Easily expand your Wi-Fi across multiple locations with the Unleashed Multi-Site Manager. Growing even more? Move up to a controller- or cloud-based deployment with your existing Unleashed APs.
Key benefits and features
BEST-IN-CLASS PERFORMANCE
BeamFlex+-Patented Adaptive Antenna Technology
RUCKUS Unleashed APs integrate our patented, softwarecontrolled adaptive antennas. BeamFlex+ antennas adapt
automatically to client locations and environmental conditions,
continually optimizing RF signals for every connected device, on a
per-packet basis. It's the "secret sauce" that lets our APs maintain
stronger connections and deliver better performance than the
competition.
ChannelFly-Machine Learning Auto Channel Selection
Most APs can switch channels when the one they're using to
connect with a given device gets congested. Only RUCKUS APs
with ChannelFly technology, however, use machine learning
and specialized algorithms to identify the best alternate channel
before switching over. Combined with BeamFlex+ adaptive
antenna technology, ChannelFly delivers substantially higher
throughput than competing APs.
SmartMesh-Self-Forming, Self-Healing Mesh
SmartMesh makes it simple to blanket every corner of your
space with reliable Wi-Fi coverage-while eliminating the need
for cumbersome radio planning and expensive cabling to every
AP. Just check the "Zero Touch Mesh" box in the management
app, and it automatically establishes wireless mesh connections
between individual APs. RUCKUS Unleashed APs use our patented
smart antenna technology to create strong, reliable mesh links.
And if a link ever fails, the network heals itself automatically.
THE SMARTER SMB SOLUTION
Install in Minutes
RUCKUS Unleashed APs can be installed in under 5 minutes
from a laptop browser (e.g., Chrome, Safari) or from iPhone and
Android mobile devices. Configure just one "Master AP," and you
can automatically push that configuration securely to all the other
APs in the network with the "Zero Touch Mesh" features.
Easy to Manage
You can manage smaller Unleashed networks from anywhere
in the world with the free Unleashed Mobile app. The app's
dashboard puts all the essential information about your
network, and provides access to all key administrative tasks and
troubleshooting options, right at your fingertips.
Lower Capital and Operational Costs
Unleashed APs come with controller functions built in. You don't
need separate controller appliances or access point licenses, so
the upfront costs are much lower than other business-class APs.
Unleashed networks are also designed to be simple to deploy and
manage-no specialized network or wireless expertise required.
Network Investment Protection
When you deploy RUCKUS Unleashed APs and switches, you're
making an investment that will continue to serve your business
as you grow. Expand across across 10,000 locations with the
Unleashed Multi-Site Manager. And if your business grows even
more, you can move up to a controller-based or cloud-based
solution using the same Unleashed APs you've already deployed.

Enterprise-grade features
Ruckus Unleashed APs and switches come loaded with enterprise-grade features to customize, optimize and secure your Wi-Fi networks and deliver great user experiences. Key features are highlighted below.
FEATURE |
BENEFIT |
|---|---|
Guest Services |
Give guests secure, high-performance Wi-Fi access, while isolating their traffic from the private business network easily. Customize your guest Wi-Fi portal with your logo, brand and messages. Provide Wi-Fi access through Guest Passes, or have guests authenticate using social media accounts such as Facebook to eliminate the hassle (and security holes) of sharing |
Application Visibility and Control |
Monitor the network usage patterns of over 2,200 applications with Deep Packet Inspection, and find out which ones are consuming the most resources. You can define application-specific access rules (such as limiting access to YouTube or social media), or even limit Wi-Fi speeds for specific applications and/or SSIDs. |
Resiliency |
Continue to access printers and other network devices even if internet connectivity fails. Users stay connected to the Wi-Fi network even if one or several APs fail for any reason, as long as at least one AP in the network is online. |
Security |
Use DPSK to eliminate the risks of shared passwords and lock down access to the Wi-Fi network-without complex configurations. In addition, secure your network and protect your clients with WPA encryption, client isolation and 802.1x for RADIUS and Active Directory. |
Zero Touch Mesh |
Add new Unleashed APs to the existing network securely over the air. Dramatically speed up and simplify the installation of an Unleashed network. |
Multiple Language Support |
Create and manage your Wi-Fi network in your own language. Ruckus Unleashed currently supports 13 languages. |
URL Filtering |
Define web access rules for your network users. Protect your network from malware and phishing sites. |
Social Login |
With the built-in Social Login feature, you can sign into the Unleashed mobile app using your Gmail, Facebook or Twitter account, and link your Unleashed Wi-Fi network. From that point on, you can manage your Unleashed |
Remote Management |
Need a quick answer or help troubleshooting a network issue? Just tap the “Invite for Remote Management” option on the mobile app, and send a text message or email with a link containing all the Unleashed network information to an expert. |
