Chapter 1  Product Overview 

Onboard with Ruijie’s highly acclaimed Smart Antenna, the RG-AP740-I AP tops the class by supporting 802.11ac Wave 

2.  Featuring  4  spatial  streams  and  MU-MIMO,  the  AP  implements  a  leading  tri-radio,  dual-band  design.  The  two  main 

radios deliver up to 1,7 800Mbps access rates and the third offers frequency spectrum scanning. The whole AP 

hence speeds up the performance to up to 2533Mbps. Market-leading X-Sense Smart Antenna provides better coverage 

and ensures best access for mobile terminals. All models in the X-Sense AP Series support security, radio frequency (RF) 

control,  mobile  access,  Quality  of  Service  (QoS)  and  seamless  roaming.  Teaming  up  with  Ruijie  RG-WS  Wireless 

Controller Series, wireless data forwarding, high performance security and access control can be accomplished with ease. 

In addition, the RG-AP740-I AP, with tri-band and dual-radio design, flexibly supports 2.4G+5G+2G or 2.4G+5G+5G 

working modes and concurrent 802.11ac wave 2, 802.11ac wave 1 and 802.11n. The AP can be mounted on ceiling or 

wall or in a pole. The AP supports local power supply and PoE to take over challenges in a wide variety of deployment 

scenarios, including large-scaled campuses, enterprises, hospitals and WIFI hotspots.
