About the RUCKUS H550 Wi-Fi 6 Wall AP
The RUCKUS H550 is a Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) dual-band wall-plate access point that combines a high-performance AP, an integrated Gigabit Ethernet switch and onboard IoT in a single unit designed to mount over a standard wall plate. It is purpose-built for in-room connectivity in hotel guest rooms, student residence halls, apartments and classrooms, where a discreet, all-in-one device must deliver both wired and wireless service.
With 2x2:2 streams on the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, the H550 reaches a 1.8 Gbps aggregate data rate (574 Mbps at 2.4 GHz plus 1,200 Mbps at 5 GHz). RUCKUS BeamFlex+ adaptive antenna technology focuses signal toward each client device, while ChannelFly automatically selects the cleanest channels to sustain performance in dense, interference-heavy environments. An integrated five-port Gigabit switch provides a PoE-in uplink plus four Gigabit access ports — one of them PoE-out — to power and connect IP phones, set-top boxes and wired endpoints directly in the room, and a USB 2.0 port supports add-on modules.
Dual-concurrent onboard IoT radios with Bluetooth Low Energy and Zigbee let properties run smart locks, environmental sensors and other connected devices without separate gateways, and the H550 supports up to 512 concurrent clients. It is managed through RUCKUS One, SmartZone or Unleashed. As an authorized RUCKUS partner, Barrdega supplies the H550 (base part number 901-H550-XX00) with expert deployment guidance — request a quote for project pricing.
