Ruckus Networks

Take advantage of Wi-Fi beyond basic connectivity to improve operational efficiency and engage customers like never before. The Ruckus location services product (SPoT) enables retailers, stadiums, and transportation hubs to enhance the way they interact with customers based on precise location.

Deployed on top of Ruckus WLANs, Ruckus SPoT doesn’t require any additional hardware and has unlimited scalability in the cloud. Send real-time travel updates, targeted promotions, and even classroom notes through footfall traffic and proximity analytics to enrich customer relationships.

Proliferating devices and data-intensive applications place ever-increasing demands on wireless networks. High user expectations for great Wi-Fi performance can put pressure on IT teams. But teams often lack the necessary data on network operations and performance to deliver high service levels.

What if you had all the necessary insight into your Ruckus wireless network, right at your fingertips? Ruckus SmartCell Insight (SCI) software gives you visibility into the network intelligence you need to deliver great wireless connectivity for users. Powerful reporting and network data analytics help you to make the right business and operational decisions.

The software stores up to three years of data for up to 100,000 access points and millions of clients to support large-scale deployments. Deploy it on-premises in a virtualized environment, or as a cloud-based instance.

Accurate network planning is one of the most critical steps in a successful Wi-Fi deployment, as poor planning can result in spotty coverage, unhappy users, and over-spending on infrastructure.

Ruckus Wi-Fi planner by Yagna is ideal for designing and estimating the scope of Wi-Fi networks before the first wireless access point is installed. Designed with inputs from Ruckus Sales Engineers, it addresses practical challenges that most partners face with Wi-Fi planing tools to make it simple, quick and accurate to generate heatmaps to allow partners to get to the business of solving customer problems.

Having trouble managing an increasingly complex network environment with your existing IT resources or meeting increasingly demanding user expectations? No problem.

CommScope RUCKUS® Cloud is a converged network management-as-a-service platform that enables IT to deliver exceptional user experiences, simply. With RUCKUS Cloud, “lean” IT organizations can easily provision, manage, optimize, and troubleshoot a high-performance enterprise wired and wireless network via a single web dashboard or native mobile application.

Using advanced artificial intelligence (AI) and patented machine learning techniques, RUCKUS Cloud gives IT the troubleshooting tools to react quickly to service-affecting issues and to stop network anomalies from rising to the service-affecting level. It even classifies issues by severity, so you know where to focus first. Unplanned downtime plummets, service levels rise.

RUCKUS Cloud is a win-win scenario for everyone. IT gets easy management and troubleshooting. Your end users get a consistently great experience that is fast, reliable, and secure. Everybody gets more efficient and productive.

The days when a consumer grade Wi-Fi could meet most small business needs are over. Today, even small businesses need fast, reliable and always-on connectivity for dozens or even hundreds of devices. At the same time, with few (if any!) IT staff, small businesses don’t have the time or expertise to install and manage Wi-Fi.

RUCKUS Unleashed is a high-performance, simple-to-setup, easy-to-manage and affordable portfolio of access points (APs). These APs use our patented technologies to deliver industry leading performance, but in a package designed and priced for small businesses.

Blazing-Fast Wi-Fi Performance:

Nobody wants bad Wi-Fi. Customers hate it and, frankly, you don’t have time for it. Fortunately, that’s not something you need to worry about with Unleashed. Unleashed access points are packed with over ten years of patented Wi-Fi performance innovations—innovations that ensure you and your customers will be in Wi-Fi heaven, no matter how tough the environment.

Install and Manage with Ease:

With Zero-Touch Mesh, set up your entire Wi-Fi network in a few simple steps from a mobile device or browser with an intuitive, easy-to- understand user interface. Gain detailed insights about your network and perform all key administrative tasks from anywhere with the free RUCKUS Unleashed mobile app (available onApp StoreandGoogle Play).

More Than Wi-Fi:

Enhance your network with built-in features such as Guest Services, DPSK security, Zero IT onboarding and Application Visibility. If the internet goes out— even if an AP fails—you can continue to access printers and other network devices.

Protect Your Investment:

Scale up when you need to. Easily expand your Wi-Fi across multiple locations with the Unleashed Multi-Site Manager. Growing even more? Move up to a controller- or cloud-based deployment with your existing Unleashed APs.

Do you need to support multiple, secure options for routing user traffic? Is centralized management critical, but also the ability to tunnel tenant traffic locally instead of through constrained WAN links? Is the ability to support regional client services like roaming and connectivity without costly remote appliances not just nice but vital?

Worry not. With our SmartZone Data Plane, customers can deploy a complete appliance that minimizes remote traffic bottlenecks and secures tunneled data to and from remote and local data centers.

SmartZone Data Plane is built in virtual (vSZ-D) and physical (SZ100-D) form factors to suit the needs of organizations with varied virtualization needs in central and tenant locations. The SmartZone Data Plane with our virtual SmartZone network controller maximizes Wi-Fi deployment flexibility and scale.

Together with RUCKUS access points – you get scale, control and deployment flexibility and your users get a consistently great Wi-Fi experience—fast, reliable and secure.

The RUCKUS Wireless ZoneDirector 1200 is RUCKUS’ centrally managed Smart Wireless LAN (WLAN) system developed specifically for small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs).

With simplicity and ease of use in mind, the RUCKUS ZoneDirector 1200 is purpose-built to address the gap between standalone, feature-deficient access points (APs) that must be individually managed and the costly, complex highend enterprise systems that are overkill for most small business environments.

The ZoneDirector 1200 is also perfect for businesses who want to offer services such as voice over Wi-Fi, IP-based video, secure enterprise access and tiered Wi-Fi services in venues such as hotels, airports, schools and public buildings.

The RUCKUS ZoneDirector 1200 can be deployed and operated by non-wireless experts and installed quickly and easily. Any organization with limited IT staff and budget can create a robust and secure multimedia WLAN in a matter of minutes.
