Upon the uprising challenges of management efficiency and wireless security, all Ruijie enterprise access points support hybrid management mode. Either deployed as standalone AP (Fat Mode) or managed AP (Fit Mode and Cloud Managed Mode), the AP will detect the operation mode automatically without extra effort on firmware upgrade. For additional security and operation features, we recommend the enterprise customers to choose one of the below options depending on the functionality and capacity needed:
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-WS Series Wireless Controller (On-premises) Plus Cloud Management (Optional) – targeted for enterprise office, campus, and hospitality customers with single or multiple sites and high-density AP deployment. The controller devices with cluster-based architecture are installed at the customer’s sites with fully integrated wireless management and authentication features, supporting large scale AP management. Optionally, the cloud management platform allows for value-added features like centralized device configuration and monitoring, AI radio (RF) optimization, reporting, etc.
High Speed Wi-Fi 6 and Energy Saving
1024-QAM High-speed Access
RG-AP820-I adopts the dual-radio dual-band design. With the next-generation 802.11ax for 5GHz band, the maximum access rate can reach 2.4Gbps. If dual-radio is enabled concurrently, the high-speed Wi-Fi throughput can reach 2.97Gbps, offering the true high-speed experience.
OFDMA High-density User Access
RG-AP820-I supports OFDMA of 802.11ax, which divides the WLAN channel into plurality of 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. In a high-density deployment environment, the average rate per user is increased by four times compared with Wi-Fi 5 devices.
Spatial Reuse with BSS Color
RG-AP820-I supports spatial reuse with basic service set (BSS) color of 802.11ax. It marks the BSSs of different WLANs in the network by different color identifiers (BSS color), and further divides them into internal and external BSS. Packet receiving and sending thresholds for the internal and external BSS are maintained separately. When receiving packets, the BSS color is retrieved to quickly identify the packets of the external BSS. If the signal strength is lower than the receiving threshold of the external BSS, the packet will be ignored. At the same time the transmission of the internal BSS packet will not be affected. This technology enhances channel reuse in a high-density scenario, greatly reducing the impact of co-channel interference for the actual network deployment.
Performance Boost from Wi-Fi 5
RG-AP820-I provides considerable performance boost even in an environment with Wi-Fi 5 only user devices. This means RG-AP820-I is not only future-proof but also able to provide instant improvement over the Wi-Fi 5 APs.
Energy Saving for Green and Low-carbon Network
Several energy saving technologies have been used in RG-AP820-I, such as single antenna standby, dynamic MIMO, enhanced auto power-saving transmission and packet power control. With the high-performance power circuit design, RG-AP820-I is able to save energy while providing high-speed wireless access.
