External Ruckus Wireless Solution

Ruckus Wireless Solution - Zoneflex T301 external AP

We were asked to provide efficient wireless network solution to increase coverage to a school’s vast communal and sports areas. The coverage needed to include the rugby field, tennis centre, hockey field as well as the athletics facility.

The longest reach was an access point mounted onto their tennis centre to cover their rugby field. We didn’t think it would cover the 306m distance but were pleasantly surprised when we tested it and found we had excellent signal at the end of the rugby field.

The details of the external Ruckus wireless solution included;

1. Field to the front of Tennis complex (Front) – 1 x Zoneflex T301 external AP to be mounted to the front of the Tennis complex and cabled in 1 x Cat5e to the Tennis complex cabinet.
