Designed for harsh outdoor conditions, the Ruckus ZoneFlex 7731 is perfect for service providers looking to easily extend branded broadband services, backhaul 3G networks, offload data traffic from 3G networks, deploy multimedia hotspots, or offer wireless broadband services where fixed line access is limited.
The ZoneFlex 7731 is also ideal for hotels, schools, warehouses and other enterprises looking to extend managed wireless LANs (WLANs) across remote buildings and where Ethernet cabling is not possible.

Simple
Auto-pairing of wireless bridges, in addition to flexible mounting options, forgiving antenna pattern, and an easy-to-use aiming software, allows installers to deploy and optimize a wireless link in a short time, significantly increasing productivity and reducing deployment costs.
Lightweight and designed with simple and flexible mounting options, the ZoneFlex 7731 finds its peer automatically and enables installers to deploy the wireless bridges effortlessly.
The wireless link offers much higher data throughput rates than T1/E1 or xDSL lines at only a fraction of the fixed line installation cost and without the recurring leased line cost. The ZoneFlex 7731 is also an ideal option for backhauling 3G networks.
The internal dual polarized antenna not only does away with the need for installing an external antenna, further simplifying the installation procedure, but also offers an aesthetically pleasing look and feel.
