The Ruckus MediaFlex 7811 is the first carrier-class 802.11n multimedia router designed to reliably distribute high definition (HD) IP–based video content (IPTV) over Wi-Fi to every corner of the home.
Installed in minutes, the Ruckus MediaFlex 7811 helps carriers eliminate costly and cumbersome cabling within subscriber homes, speeds installation times, and enables robust remote management.
The Ruckus MediaFlex 802.11n router combines innovative, patent-pending smart antenna and traffic-management technologies to break down the barriers that have prevented a single Wi-Fi network from simultaneously supporting voice, video, and data in the home.
The Ruckus MediaFlex gives broadband operators a single system that reliably extends multimedia services throughout the home over standard 802.11 Wi-Fi while giving them unprecedented visibility into and control over subscriber Wi-Fi environments all the way down to end devices.
A complete solution for video-grade, high-performance wireless networking, the Ruckus system includes the Ruckus MediaFlex 802.11n multimedia router and the Ruckus MediaFlex 802.11n multimedia Wi-Fi adapter. The system incorporates patent-pending BeamFlex and SmartCast technologies to guarantee optimal range and performance for concurrent video and data traffic.
Attached to the broadband gateway, the Ruckus MediaFlex router optimizes all 802.11n devices in the home while enabling wireless video applications.
The Ruckus MediaFlex 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.
The Ruckus MediaFlex router is equipped with BeamFlex, a patent-pending MIMO smart antenna system that enables client devices to communicate over longer distances at higher speeds than consumer-grade 802.11 products—delivering unprecedented reliability and diversity.
