VoIP Q&A: Ruckus ZoneFlex T300 Coverage and Usage, Headsets for Grandstream GXV3275 IP Android Phone

Our tech support team here at VoIP Supply offers great pre- and post-sale support plus provisioning, consultations, and configuration and installation help.

We get a lot of VoIP hardware and software questions and realized that these solutions should be shared with everyone.

Here now are our top real questions and answers from this past week (from VoIP users just like you).

Q: What is the range of the Ruckus ZoneFlex T300 Outdoor Wireless Access Point? Does it come with software or do I need to purchase software separately? How many users can it support? Does the T300 support IPTV streams?

A:  The Ruckus ZoneFlex T300 Outdoor Wireless Access Point offers dual-band 802.11ac and is rated IP-67 for outdoor environments. The T300 is specifically designed for high traffic public venues such as airports, convention centers, plazas, malls, stadiums, and dense urban environments.

Let’s take your questions one at a time.

T300 Range

According to Ruckus, the maximum distance of the Ruckus T300 is technically 25 km but, 10 km is more realistic. That kind of distance is can be achieved between two Ruckus access points with line of site and directional antennas.

In everyday applications, your maximum distance is determined by your uplink signal, not the access point downlink. A good rule of thumb for the Ruckus T300 is to plan on a distance of less than a football field for optimal coverage assuming moderate usage.

T300 Software

All Ruckus access points can run in standalone mode. But, you’ll get a lot more functionality when you use the T300 with a Ruckus ZoneDirector Software Platform.

ZoneDirector Smart WLAN controllers use a highly-intuitive Web user interface to provide easy configuration and administration
