RG-AP680CD supports switching between FAT/FIT mode, offers 1 SFP port and 1 10/100/1000M port with PoE/ local power supply. Taking the wireless network security, RF control, mobile access, QoS, seamless roaming and other important factors into account. Teaming up with Ruijie RG-WS Wireless Controller Series/Cloud AC, the APs offer Wi-Fi user data forwarding, advanced security and access control with ease.

Ruijie RG-AP680CD Kenya adopts the IP68 protection design for the enclosure, which is suitable for application in extreme indoor and outdoor environments. It can withstand extreme weather and other environmental conditions, thereby greatly reducing the difficulty of installation and maintenance. Equipped with built-in directional antenna, Ruijie RG-AP680CD Kenya can achieve the Wi-Fi coverage in vast majority of the scenarios. Multi-hop and point-to-multipoint bridge features are also supported to further enhance the deployment flexibility. Upon the uprising challenges of management efficiency and wireless security, all Ruijie enterprise APs support hybrid management mode. Either deployed as standalone AP (Fat mode) or managed AP (Fit mode), the AP will detect the operation mode automatically without extra effort on firmware upgrade. For additional security and operation, we recommend the enterprise customers to choose either one of the below wireless controller options depending on the functionality and capacity:

Public Cloud: Ruijie Cloud – Ruijie Public Cloud service (powered by RG-MACC) is targeted for the SME segment with integrated captive portal, authentication (such as PPSK for employees, Facebook, voucher, account, etc.), and reporting features. Together with Ruijie Cloud Mobile App (free download), SME customers can provision and manage their networks at fingertips.

Hybrid Cloud: RG-WS6000 Series Wireless Controller (on-premises) Plus Cloud Management (Optional) – targeted for enterprise office and campus with single or multiple sites and high-density AP deployment. The controller appliances are installed at the customer’s site with fully integrated wireless management and authentication feature, supporting up to 5000 APs per cluster. Optionally, the cloud management platform allows for value-added features like centralized device configuration and monitoring, AI radio (RF) optimization, reporting, etc.

Private Cloud: RG-MACC Software Controller – targeted for ISP/MSP, government, or multi-national corporation (MNC) with diverse customer sites and demand on integration of their billing, portal and security systems. The RG-MACC supports unified device management, not only for wireless access points, but also switches and gateway devices.

Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) Technology

Ruijie RG-AP680CD Kenya adopts the dual-band dual-radio 802.11ax design with up to 4 spatial streams and built-in directional antenna. The first radio offers up to 0.575Gbps access rate at 2.4G and supports switching to 5G with up to 1.2Gbps access rate, while the second radio offers up to 1.2Gbps access rate at 5G. The AP offers a maximum wireless access rate of 2.4Gbps. 2.4G + 5G is recommended, which offers access rate of 1.775Gbps.

OFDMA High-density User Access

Ruijie RG-AP680CD Kenya supports OFDMA of 802.11ax, which divides the WLAN channel into multiple narrower subchannels, with each user occupying one or more subchannels. By scheduling multiple users to receive and send packets concurrently via the AP, user competition and back-off can be reduced, thereby reducing network latency and improving network efficiency.

Spatial Reuse with BSS Color

Ruijie RG-AP680CD Kenya supports spatial reuse with basic service set (BSS) color of 802.11ax to identify the BSSs of different WLANs in the network by different coloring (BSS color), and further divide them into internal (BSS which belongs to the device) and external BSS. Different packet receiving and sending thresholds can be maintained. When receiving packets, BSS coloring is used to quickly identify the packet of external BSS. If the signal strength is lower than the receiving threshold of external BSS, the packet will be ignored. The transmission of the internal BSS packets will be not affected. This technology can implement channel reuse in a high-density scenario, greatly reducing the impact of co-channel interference for the actual network deployment.

Industry-leading Local Forwarding Technology

Employing Ruijie’s intelligent local forwarding technology, Ruijie RG-AP680CD Kenya eliminates the traffic bottleneck of wireless access controllers. Deploying with the Ruijie RG-WS Wireless Controller Series, users can flexibly configure the data forwarding mode for Ruijie RG-AP680CD Kenya. The AP also controls whether the data will be forwarded via the wireless controller according to the SSID or user VLAN, or directly sent to the wired network for data exchange. The local forwarding technology can classify and forward delay-sensitive data which requires real-time transmission through the wired network to greatly alleviate the traffic pressure on the wireless controllers and better meet the high traffic transmission requirements of the 802.11n and 802.11ac network.

Abundant QoS Policies

Ruijie RG-AP680CD Kenya supports a wide variety of QoS policies. For example, it provides WLAN/AP/STA-based bandwidth limitations which prioritize important and critical data transmission over others for bandwidth guarantee. With the multicast-to-unicast technology, Ruijie RG-AP680CD Kenya resolves the video lagging problem due to packet loss or high latency in the wireless network, and highly enhances user experience of the multicast video services of wireless networks.
