SmartZone 5.2.1.3 (MR2) FIPS, CC, and JITC Release Notes Patch #1118
Applicable To The Following Products
The Ruckus R650 represents an evolution in Access Point (AP) technology - it's not just a Wi-Fi AP, it's a Wireless technology hub. It's a 6 stream AP (4x4:4 in 5GHz, 2x2:2 in 2.4GHz) that comes with Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) capable of delivering 2400Mbps in 5GHz and 574Mbps in 2.4GHz.
Wi-Fi 6 Multi-gigabit wireless technology is custom designed for ultra-high density deployments using technologies like OFDMA and has the added benefit of increasing your phone's battery life, thanks to the Target Wake Time (TWT) feature.
Additionally, the R650 comes with built-in BLE and Zigbee, and the option to expand to other wireless protocols in the future. With the R650, adopting a new wireless technology is as if it's a wireless language, the R650 will be able to speak it.
