To Why should you choose the Ruijie RG-AP720-I product?

Following are the reasons why you should choose Ruijie RG-AP720-I:

High Density WiFi Experience

• Pre-AX, Minimize Co-channel & Other Interference

Pre-AX Technology Optimize WiFi Experience

DCCA / DTPC is adopted from 802.11ax technology to adjust RSSI threshold automatically dynamic to maximize the usable spectrum and allow more data to be transmitted. Each AP optimizes the RF and power channels according to their respective clients.

• Correct Link, Increase Traffic Load Balancing & Roaming Clients

Correct Link Technology Optimizes the WiFi Experience

Correct Link technology is designed to analyze the latency, jitter and signal strength of each client. It also correlates with additional information such as wireless channel utilization and throughput to optimize the best user experience for wireless clients.

• AirReorder, Smart Airtime Scheduling Technology

Air Reorder Allocates Time Slots to Terminals

The fundamental thing about Air Reorder is to allocate the same time slots to ensure that each terminal can get the best possible RF resource justice. This can prevent clients with slower data rates from degrading the performance of the entire network by occupying the limited shared media.

Seamless Integration with WIS Cloud

Platform Smart Cloud Services WIS

Ruijie WIS is an AI-based smart service designed for optimization of WiFi in the cloud. Perfectly integrated with the Ruijie RG-AP720 hardware AC on premise helps simplify WiFi deployment planning, delivery testing, and operation diagnosis. With WIS you can:

• Survey cloud sites for planning implementation of
• smart mobile APP for provisioning
• Visualize user experience
• One-click WiFi optimization
• And for FREE!

Ruijie MOHO App for WiFi Testing

As part of the Ruijie RG-AP720-L WIS solution, the ruijie RG-AP720-I MOHO is a mobile application designed to perform WiFi testing from your fingertips. Comprehensive testing tools such as collaborative test, speed test, multi-point test, etc. are available on the Ruijie MOHO app which can be downloaded for free from the IOS APP Store & Google Play.

WISπ One-click Optimization

Another key feature of Ruijie RG-AP720-I WIS, WISπ provides one-click optimization using AI-based automatic machine learning correlation based on real-time information collected from your Wifi network. It totally optimizes the entire Wifi network performance by providing the most suitable configuration with fine-tuning with just one click.

Virtual AP Technology

Virtual AP Enhances Network Security

In most companies today, providing Guest WiFi to visitors is important. However, Guest WiFi may be another entry point for network interference whether intentional or not.

Ruijie RG-AP720-I AP Virtualization technology makes it possible to virtualize a physical AP into multiple virtual APs to handle different services. Different VAPs can be connected to different ACs to ensure only authorized user access to the correct power source.

With VAP, you can now enjoy the benefits:

• Resource isolation
• Flexible authentication
• Minimize RF interference
• Cost-effective & secure

Take advantage of the AP740’s dual GE uplink design, two distinct CAPWAP tunnels that separate employee Wifi and guest Wifi traffic into two distinct physical uplinks, which further increases security.

Virtual AC Technology

Virtual AC Enables Centralized Management

Ruijie RG-AP720-I Network AC Virtualization Technology helps to virtualize multiple air conditioners into a single logical air conditioner regardless of module or appliance based air conditioner. It supports up to 8 hardware AC members in one high availability cluster. AP licenses are shared from the license pool regardless of the number of ACs in the cluster.

With centralized management and distributed processing capabilities, it increases the scalability and resilience of the entire wireless Network. Simplified management also streamlines IT operations.

PPSK Authentication

Simple and Effectiveof Wireless Security Practices

Traditional pre-shared key (PSK) is shared by all users on the WLAN, potentially creating a risk of PSK leakage.

Ruijie Per-user PSK (PPSK) is an easy-to-setup wireless authentication method with enterprise-level security. Credentials can be created and revoked individually. Each PPSK can also be bound to a unique user / machine.

With PPSK, you can enjoy the advantages:

• High security by using different passwords for each user and device in each SSID
• Simple implementation, allows batch account creation
• Ease of use and offers the same experience as WPA / WPA2-PSK
• Out-of-box features in control of AC
• No additional AAA required

iBeacon Bluetooth application

iBeacon for O2O Marketing

The AP700 series comes with a built-in BT4.0 module, bringing revolutionary changes to LBS marketing through iBeacon. iBeacon, first developed by Apple and then widely supported by other mobile devices, is a protocol that leverages Bluetooth low energy (BLE) wireless technology to provide location-based information and services.

Geared up for BT 4.0 integration, the AP is becoming a powerful O2O marketing tool, enabling customers to get exclusive offers from nearby stores, see details on their mobile when they are close to a featured product, get alerts about what’s in store next and much more.

Ruijie RG-AP720-I

There is another access point in the AP700 series, which is the flagship of the ruijie RG-AP720-I. This series is indeed very reliable and of course at a price that is more affordable than you buy an access point from other brands, especially for those of you who need an access point for the needs of middle to lower business.
