Ruckus R650 Indoor Wi-Fi 6 Access Point
The Ruckus R650 is a high-performance, dual-band 802.11ax wireless access point designed for medium to high-density indoor environments. It supports 6 spatial streams, features a 2.5GbE uplink, and includes built-in IoT radios for Zigbee and BLE. With patented BeamFlex+ adaptive antenna technology and AI-driven channel optimization, the R650 delivers superior coverage, capacity, and reliability for modern enterprise networks.
Key Features
- Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) with 4x4:4 MU-MIMO in 5GHz and 2x2:2 in 2.4GHz
- 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port for high-speed backhaul
- BeamFlex+ adaptive antenna technology for optimized coverage
- Built-in Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and Zigbee radios
- Supports up to 512 client connections per access point
- Cloud, on-prem, or controller-less management options
Core Technologies
The R650 leverages advanced Wi-Fi 6 technologies including OFDMA, MU-MIMO, and Target Wake Time (TWT). It also incorporates Ruckus-exclusive features like ChannelFly for machine learning-based channel optimization and SmartMesh for self-forming wireless meshing. These technologies work together to maximize throughput and minimize interference in crowded RF environments.
How It Works
The R650 uses dynamic beamforming via BeamFlex+ antennas to direct signal strength toward connected devices on a per-packet basis. This real-time adaptation reduces dead zones and improves performance in challenging environments. Meanwhile, ChannelFly continuously scans and switches to the least congested channels, ensuring optimal bandwidth utilization without manual intervention.
Typical Applications
This wireless access point is ideal for:
- Enterprise offices and conference rooms
- K-12 and higher education classrooms
- Retail stores and shopping centers
- Healthcare facilities and clinics
- Hospitality venues and public lounges
