Product detail

Installed in minutes, the Ruckus MediaFlex 7000 series helps
carriers eliminate costly and cumbersome cabling within
subscriber homes, speed installation times, and enable
robust remote management.
The MediaFlex 802.11n access point combines innovative, patent-
pending smart antenna and traffc management technologies to
break down the barriers that have prevented a single Wi-Fi network
for supporting voice, video and data in the home.
The MediaFlex 7811 gives broadband operators a single system
that reliably extends multimedia services throughout the home over
standard 802.11n (5 GHz) Wi-Fi while delivering unprecedented vis-
ibility into and control over subscriber Wi-Fi environments.
Unlike any Wi-Fi system available today, the MediaFlex 7811 access
point constantly monitors the wireless environment, steering RF
signals around interference and prioritizing different traffc types
for transmission over the air. With the Ruckus MediaFlex system,
consumers now have complete freedom and fexibility to distribute
and enjoy multimedia content anywhere in their homes — all with-
out wires. Meanwhile, service providers can accelerate deployment,
minimize installation costs and maximize service potential.
The MediaFlex 7811 access point delivers on the high-speed prom-
ise of 802.11n. Each access point integrates a state-of-the-art adap-
tive antenna system designed to exploit such advanced techniques
as spatial multiplexing, channel bonding and frame aggregation,
used within the 802.11n standard. The result is predictable and high
performance transmission of high-deﬁ nition IPTV streams.

A complete solution for video-grade, high-performance wireless net
working, the Ruckus system includes the Ruckus MediaFlex 802.11n
multimedia access point and Ruckus MediaFlex 802.11n multimedia
Wi-Fi adapter. The system incorporates Ruckus patent-pending
BeamFlex and SmartCast technologies to guarantee optimal range
and performance for concurrent video and data trafﬁ c.
Attached to the broadband gateway, the Ruckus MediaFlex access
point optimizes all 802.11n devices in the home, while enabling wire-
less video applications.
The Ruckus MediaFlex 7811 adapter provides video-grade, 802.11n
connectivity to any Ethernet-equipped video server and video
receiver, including set-top boxes, personal video recorders, media
centers and media center extenders.
Most off-the-shelf Wi-Fi products are equipped with one or two
antennas, offering little resilience or diversity in the event of a
debilitated signal path. In contrast, the Ruckus MediaFlex access
point is equipped with BeamFlex, a patent-pending MIMO smart
antenna system.

Each Ruckus MediaFlex 7811 access point integrates BeamFlex,
a compact, internal antenna array with six high-gain, directional
antenna elements capable of forming 63 unique antenna patterns for
massive diversity. Expert system control software continuously ranks
the antenna patterns for each receiving device, using the inherent
feedback mechanism built into the 802.11 MAC layer protocol.
BeamFlex enables client devices to communicate over longer
distances at higher speeds than consumer-grade 802.11 products —
delivering unprecedented reliability and diversity.
With BeamFlex, the Ruckus MediaFlex 7811 access point reconﬁ gures
itself in real-time, detecting and adjusting for both spectral and multi-
path interference as well as neighboring network noise.
By selecting the optimum antenna pattern for each receiving device,
BeamFlex enables extended Wi-Fi range and higher communica-
tions speeds. This antenna diversity allows the Ruckus MediaFlex
access point to ﬁ nd and instantly select from many quality signal
paths in a changing environment. This provides the stability and
sustained baseline performance essential for delay-sensitive voice
and video applications.
