High Performance, 802.11ac Wave 2 Mid-range Smart Wi-Fi Access Points With Adaptive Antenna Technology
Ruckus R610 Unleashed enables controller-less Wi-Fi architecture for small business environments with superior performance, lower costs and simplified management. Separate controllers and access point licenses are no longer needed, significantly reducing upfront costs. Set-up is also easy, thanks to a simplified web interface that helps businesses configure Wi-Fi in just 60 seconds.
The R610 Unleashed delivers high-performance and reliable 802.11ac wireless networking with MU-MIMO (Multi-User Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) capability. MU-MIMO helps boost network throughput by serving multiple clients simultaneously and also benefiting non-Wave 2 clients, thus improving overall network performance.
The R610 Unleashed, through its USB port, also enables IoT readiness for technologies like BLE, to help customers take advantage of upcoming IoT technologies. Each R610 Unleashed integrates Ruckus-patented BeamFlex+, a software-controlled, high gain antennas that continually forms and directs each Wi-Fi packet over the best performing signal path.
Using dual-polarized antennas, the R610 Unleashed adapts in real time to anticipate hand-held device movement and rotation ensuring consistent performance.
MU-MIMO
MU-MIMO helps Wave 2 and non-Wave 2 clients. The R610 Unleashed can communicate simultaneously to multiple Wave 2 clients increasing network performance. This frees up airtime for non-Wave 2 clients resulting in enhanced aggregate network throughput.
Advanced WLAN Applications
Each R610 Unleashed supports a wide range of value-added applications such as BYOD/guest onboarding, Dynamic PSK, hotspot authentication, wireless intrusion detection and many more. WLANs can be created and mapped to the same or different APs or VLANs. In a controller-less configuration, the R610 Unleashed works with a wide range of authentication servers including Microsoft's Active Directory, LDAP and RADIUS.
Flexible Deployment Options
Ruckus Unleashed is custom-designed to help small business owners grow their business, deliver an excellent customer experience and manage costs while supporting Wi-Fi and a variety of mobile devices with minimal IT staff. Unleashed access points have built-in controller capabilities, including user access controls, guest networking functions, advanced Wi-Fi security and traffic management. As businesses grow to multiple sites or a larger scale deployment, Ruckus offers an easy migration path to a controller-based Wi-Fi, using the same Wi-Fi access points.
Complete Local And Cloud Management
Each R610 Unleashed can be securely managed from anywhere, at anytime, using any browser on any device.

Ruckus Unleashed
Controller-less Access Point Solution for SMB
Smart devices are playing a critical role in influencing customer decisions and behaviors. While Wi-Fi devices have become an absolute requirement for customers and employees, small to midsize businesses (SMBs) are challenged to deploy a reliable wireless network within a limited budget and little to no IT staff.
Ruckus Unleashed is a controller-less wireless LAN solution that enables SMBs to deliver an optimal wireless experience at an affordable price point. Configured in 60 seconds and deployed in minutes, Ruckus Unleashed eliminates the complexity pitfall of a controller-based WLAN. With easy migration options to the Ruckus ZoneDirector, SmartZone or future Ruckus platforms, Ruckus Unleashed scales with your business. Now SMBs can deliver a Wi-Fi user experience with high RF performance and network resiliency.
With 802.11ac Ruckus Unleashed access points (AP), users can take advantage of higher speeds, better coverage and improved reliability. Unleashed APs include key Ruckus technologies, such as BeamFlex+ Adaptive Antenna Technology to maximize signal coverage, throughput and network capacity and ChannelFly, our predictive capacity management for RF channel selection. And Zero-IT enables easy device onboarding with several key guest features, such as guest WLAN access, captive portal, Guest Pass and Custom Logo, to provide key value add services to users.
With Unleashed, each AP in the network will actively serve clients. And this controller-less solution supports single location deployments, up to 25 APs and/or 512 clients.
Simple Deployment
The Unleashed WLAN network can be set up in a matter of minutes, eliminating the need for large IT staff. There are 3 simple steps to set up the Unleashed network:
• Simply power on the Unleashed access points
• Connect to the Unleashed AP via open SSID or DNS
• Easily configure one master access point using the Unleashed online wizard
When configuring the network, a standby AP will be chosen automatically. This ensures resiliency in the network. Additionally, all member APs will automatically discover and join the master.
Take advantage of a low-cost controller-less solution
• No expert IT staff required
• Save time with a fast deployment and easy network management
• No AP license, controller or cloud subscription including support and trouble shooting is required
Network Investment Protection
58% of SMBs are expected to grow within 6-12 months. With Ruckus Unleashed, SMBs can easily migrate to the ZoneDirector, SmartZone, or future Ruckus platforms. There is flexibility to choose virtual or physical appliances to best meet business needs. Now is the time to deploy a network that grows with your business.
