Outdoor Cloud Managed

Wi-Fi 6 Access Point
With the increasing bar of Wi-Fi networks, Ray has come up with
its Wi-Fi Access Points. The Ray R6A-O is a cloud-managed
2x2:2 Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) access point with a maximum of
1.7 Gbps that is built for demanding environments.

The R6A-O is ruggedized and can withstand exposure to extreme

high and low temperatures, persistent moisture and is purpose-
built to deliver unprecedented user experiences, while providing
real-time network insights and other Wi-Fi services. It is a perfect
fit to provide exceptional end-user experience within high
density public venues such as airports, enterprise campuses,
outdoor arenas, public venues, industrial sites, stadiums etc.
The R6A-O AP connects more devices simultaneously and improves
With the combination of the Ray Platform & high-performance device performance, with built-in 8 spatial streams (dual-concurrent,

OVERVIEW
Ray has brought true innovation to the networking space with the world’s first AI-driven
wireless network with an element of extensibility through the Ray Wi-Fi Application store.
Wi-Fi Driven By AI Ray Access Point

measurable with unprecedented visibility into the user experience. the Ray Cloud.
Time consuming manual IT tasks are replaced with AI-driven
proactive automation and self-healing capabilities, lowering
networking operational costs and saving substantial time and money.

Ray Cloud
Microservices bring unparalleled agility, scale, resiliency. Ray makes
it easy to add or remove new features by leveraging a microservices
cloud architecture. New enhancements and bug fixes are delivered
almost weekly without network disruption. Services scale up or down
elastically when they’re needed, eliminating the cost and complexity
of monolithic hardware.

Plus, the Ray platform is inherently resilient as the

failure of one service does not impact others.

Automatic RF Optimization / Automatic
Cloud-based RF Optimization
Ray’s sophisticated, automated RF optimization algorithms collect
real-time, full-spectrum RF analysis data for threats and interference.
This data is continuously fed back to the Ray cloud. The cloud then
automatically tunes the Ray’s channel selection and transmits power
for optimal performance under the most challenging RF conditions.
This ensures optimal performance under what could
otherwise be challenging RF conditions.

Ray automatically assigns channel, width and power settings based

on environment and client density.

It also provides airtime fairness and ensures that APs stay clear of
all sources of RF interference to deliver reliable, highperformance
WLANs. The Access Points can also be configured to provide
dedicated air monitoring for spectrum analysis and wireless
intrusion detection and determine the position of wireless stations.
