Interference is the biggest challenge to any wireless network deployment. The interference problem will become obvious when a large number of APs are deployed in a small space. The X-Sense Smart Antenna automatically adjusts the wireless signal output direction according to the user location. When disturbed, the X-Sense Smart Antenna selects a better path to avoid interference. Test results show that Ruijie?s X-Sense Smart Antenna technology can effectively reduce interference by more than 30%.

High-Speed Wireless Performance with Sustainability

?High performance for wireless service requirements

The RG-AP530-I AP supports 2.4GHz and 5GHz dual-band, dual-radio design and delivers an access rate up to 1.9Gbps. The 5GHz design supports the new generation of wireless standard 802.11ac protocol which offers a maximum connection rate up to 1.3Gbps.

Based on the high-performance power supply design, the AP provides high-speed wireless access and saves 25% power.

?Industry-leading local forwarding technology

Employing an industry-leading local forwarding technology, the RG-AP530-I AP eliminates the traffic bottleneck of wireless Access Controllers (ACs). In collaboration with Ruijie RG-WS Wireless AC, users can pre-set a forwarding mode for the RG-AP530-I AP. The AP can determine whether to forward data to the AC according to a Service Set ID (SSID) or user VLAN, or directly send the data to a wired network for data exchange. The local forwarding technology can forward large-scale, delay-sensitive, and real-time transmission data through the wired network to greatly alleviate the traffic pressure on the wireless LAN controllers and fulfill the high traffic transmission requirements of 802.11n network.

?Abundant QoS policies

The RG-AP530-I AP supports an extensive array of QoS policies. For example, it provides bandwidth limitations in WLAN/AP/STA modes and Wi-Fi multimedia (WMM) that defines different priorities for different service data. The RG-AP530-I AP realizes timely and quantitative transmission of audio and video and guarantees smooth operation of multi-media applications.

The RG-AP530-I AP supports the multicast-to-unicast conversion technology and resolves the video interruption problem due to packet loss or long delay in wireless Video on Demand (VoD) system. The AP highly enhances user experience with multicast video over wireless networks.

Smart Wireless Experience

?X-speed wireless experience

Despite of the interference from other overlapping access points, the RG-AP530-I AP effectively shortens the waiting time between competing downlink users to send packets. Ruijie network users enjoy high-speed wireless experience despite of the interference level in the complex environment.

In addition, the RG-AP530-I AP solves the problems such as high latency and low network speed which are caused by deployment of an old wireless LAN card far away from the AP. To address the problems, all users are assigned equal time to transmit packets on wireless link, ensuring a fair high-speed wireless network for every user and improves the overall throughput of the AP at the same time.

?Intelligent identification of smart device

Deployed together with Ruijie Wireless ACs, the RG-AP530-I AP intelligently identifies the smart device type according to its features and adaptively presents a portal authentication page in the corresponding size and page layout. The intelligent identification of smart device eliminates the trouble of screen size adjustment and offers faster wireless experience by saving about 10 seconds. This technology supports all mainstream intelligent terminal operating systems including Apple iOS, Android, and Windows.

?Remote Intelligent Perception Technology (RIPT)

In the traditional network architecture where fit APs are centrally managed by a wireless AC, packets received by the AP must be transmitted to the AC before being forwarded. Therefore, when the wireless AC becomes faulty, the APs fail to work properly and it results in the entire wireless network to break down. Ruijie?s latest RIPT enables the RG-AP530-I AP to implement intelligent link perception. Once the faulty wireless AC is detected, the APs swiftly switch to the intelligent mode to continue data forwarding, ensuring the high availability of the wireless network and keeping wireless users always online.

?Intelligent load balancing

On a high-density wireless LAN, the RG-AP530-I AP pairs with Ruijie Wireless ACs to intelligently distribute users among different APs according to the number of users and data traffic in real time. This feature balances the load pressure on each AP and improves the average bandwidth and QoS, offering higher network availability.

?Seamless roaming experience

The RG-AP530-I AP works perfectly with the RG-WS wireless ACs, allowing wireless users to roam seamlessly on Layer 2 and Layer 3 networks without data interruption.

?Wireless IPv6 access

The RG-AP530-I AP supports all the IPv6 features and implements IPv6 forwarding on a wireless network. Both IPv4 and IPv6 users can connect to the ACs over tunnels, enabling IPv6 applications to be borne on the wireless network.

Comprehensive Security Protection

?User access control

The AP also supports Ruijie?s advanced Security Management Platform (SMP) BYOD Solution which complies with a standard access control system. The system has a set of control policies in terms of user access, authorization, host compliance check, network behavior monitoring, and network attack defense, etc. All these control functions ensure that users are authenticated before access and enjoy the network services securely.

?Flexible virtual AP technology

With the virtual AP technology, the RG-AP530-I AP provides up to 32 Extended Service Set IDs (ESSIDs) to support 32 802.1Q VLANs. Network administrators can separately encrypt and isolate subnets or VLANs that have the same SSID. They can also flexibly configure a separate authentication mode and encryption mechanism for each SSID.

?Comprehensive wireless security protection

?Flexible authentication modes

The RG-AP530-I AP supports convenient Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP), Web Portal Authentication, SMS Authentication, and QR-Code Authentication.

If users are authenticated via PEAP, they just need to perform password authentication for once. That means they are only required to enter user credentials during their first network visit.

If users are authenticated via SMS, they need to sign in first with their mobile phone numbers and then obtain usernames and passwords from the SMS sent to their mobile phones.

QR code authentication is another wireless security highlight. After accessing a wireless network, users will obtain a QR code and need to get it scanned by any authorized staff?s mobile phones to gain network access.
