Wi-Fi capacity requirements in classrooms, offices and medium-sized venues are increasing due to the growth in the number of devices connected via Wi-Fi. Increasing bandwidth requirements for applications and an ever-growing range of IoT devices are putting further strain on already overloaded Wi-Fi networks.
The RUCKUS R550 access point (AP) with the latest Wi-Fi 6 technology (802.11ax) offers the optimum combination of increased capacity, improved coverage and cost in dense environments. The R550 is our mid-range dual-band and dual-radio access point with the largest capacity, supporting four spatial streams (2x2:2 at 2.4 GHz/5 GHz). The R550 supports peak data rates of up to 1774 MBit/s and efficiently manages up to 512 client connections.
In addition to Wi-Fi 6 functions such as OFDMA, MU-MIMO and TWT, the R550 offers numerous patented Ruckus technologies. The R550 is ideal for medium-density deployments such as classrooms in educational institutions, dormitories, corridors and offices.
Enterprise wireless requirements are growing beyond Wi-Fi with BLE, Zigbee and many other non-Wi-Fi wireless technologies, creating network silos. Companies therefore need a standardized platform to avoid network silos. The RUCKUS AP portfolio is equipped to meet these challenges.
The R550 has built-in IoT frequencies with integrated BLE and Zigbee functions. In addition, the R550 is a convergent access point that enables customers to seamlessly integrate all new wireless technologies via the pluggable IoT module.

Access point antenna pattern
Thanks to the adaptive BeamFlex+ antennas from RUCKUS, the R550-AP can dynamically
and select from a large number of antenna patterns in real time (up to 64 possible combinations),
to establish the best possible connection to each individual device. The result:
- Better Wi-Fi coverage
- Reduced HF interference
Traditional omnidirectional antennas, such as those found in commercially available access points, oversaturate the environment by unnecessarily emitting RF signals in all directions. The RUCKUS BeamFlex+ adaptive antenna, on the other hand, routes radio signals per device on a packet basis to optimize Wi-Fi coverage and capacity in real time and support high-density device environments. BeamFlex+ can be operated without the need for device feedback, so even devices using outdated standards can benefit.
Note: The outer line represents the composite RF coverage of all possible BeamFlex+ antenna patterns, while the inner line represents a BeamFlex+ antenna pattern within the entire outer line.
