ZoneDirector 1200

The RUCKUS Wireless ZoneDirector 1200 is RUCKUS’ centrally managed Smart Wireless LAN (WLAN) system developed specifically for small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs).

With simplicity and ease of use in mind, the RUCKUS ZoneDirector 1200 is purpose-built to address the gap between standalone, feature-deficient access points (APs) that must be inpidually managed and the costly, complex highend enterprise systems that are overkill for most small business environments.

The ZoneDirector 1200 is also perfect for businesses who want to offer services such as voice over Wi-Fi, IP-based video, secure enterprise access and tiered Wi-Fi services in venues such as hotels, airports, schools and public buildings.

The RUCKUS ZoneDirector 1200 can be deployed and operated by non-wireless experts and installed quickly and easily. Any organization with limited IT staff and budget can create a robust and secure multimedia WLAN in a matter of minutes.
