Ruckus Wireless

Great Managed Wi-Fi Services Begin with Great Wi-Fi that Scales.

Innovative Wireless Solutions World-Class Reliability

A few years ago, Wi-Fi was a “nice-to-have” amenity. Today, it’s seen as a utility, as much a luxury as electricity or indoor plumbing. Whether it’s employees in large and small enterprises, wireless routers shoppers in retail stores, or visitors in large public venues, we’re addicted to our Wi-Fi. And businesses and venue operators better deliver.

 

This insatiable thirst for Wi-Fi is a huge business opportunity for managed services providers (MSPs). Because let’s face it: businesses may know they need to deliver reliable Wi-Fi; that doesn’t mean they’re excited about taking on the costs and administrative overhead of doing it themselves. MSPs can make great Wi-Fi as simple for its customers and flipping on a light switch. Ruckus wireless can help.

Benefits of Ruckus Wireless

Multi-Gigabit Access Speeds

Liberate the multi-gigabit power of Wave 2 Wi-Fi using built-in 2.5GbE (802.3bz) backhaul to connect to multi-gigabit switches.

Stunning Performance

Provide a great user experience no matter how challenging the environment with BeamFlex+TM adaptive antenna technology and a library of 4K+ directional antenna patterns.

Service More Devices

Connect more devices simultaneously with four MU- MIMO spatial streams and concurrent dual-band 2.4/5GHz radios while enhancing non-Wave 2 device performance.

Multiple Management Options

Manage the R720 from the cloud or with on-premises physical/virtual appliances.

Get Optimal Throughput

ChannelFlyTM dynamic channel technology uses machine learning to find the least congested channels automatically. You always get the highest throughput the band can support.

Better Mesh Networking

Reduce expensive cabling and complex mesh configurations by checking a box with SmartMeshTM wireless meshing technology to create self-forming, self-healing mesh networks dynamically.

Expendable Capabilities

Augment AP capabilities through the onboard USB 2.0 port to provide additional technologies like BLE.

More Than WIFI

Enhance your network with CloudpathTM security
And management software, SPoTTM real-time Wi-Fi location engine and analytics software, and SCI network analytics.
