SmartZone

Stub — placeholder to be expanded.

SmartZone is Ruckus's larger-scale WLAN controller platform, available as physical appliances and as the virtual SmartZone (vSZ). Where it matters relative to ZoneDirector:

• Newer APs require it — Wi-Fi 6E APs need SmartZone 6.1+ (or RUCKUS One, the cloud service); ZoneDirector tops out at Wi-Fi 6
• Bigger scale — designed for AP counts and multi-site deployments beyond ZoneDirector's range
• Different UI and CLI — SmartZone's CLI syntax is not the same as ZoneDirector's; verify commands with ? / tab-completion rather than assuming ZD equivalents exist
