CTS 297: Ruckus Gains Confidence




Clear To Send: Wireless Network Engineering show

Summary: <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Ruckus Networks unveils their latest logo of the iconic dog, creating a Ruckus. I couldn’t help noticing how much more confident the dog appeared. Is it possible to teach an old dog new tricks?<br> <br> <br> <br> Ruckus dived into the scalability of their platform, empowering property owners, hospitality, and higher education with the tools of efficiently managing dynamic preshared keys.<br> <br> <br> <br> By leveraging a single SSID, Ruckus is allowing devices to connect more seamlessly and securely with a unique preshared key. This creates network segmentation on a large network, such as hospitality. You only see your devices sharing the same key.<br> <br> <br> <br> Additionally, Ruckus brings together security using Cloudpath to authenticate devices.<br> <br> <br> <br> But rather than stopping at connectivity, Ruckus goes beyond with analytics. Troubleshooting Wi-Fi issues can be challenging for lean IT teams. Ruckus analyzes the device connection to raise the issue in an easy to understand format for the operator, including visual representation.<br> <br> <br> <br> Aside from the technicalities, an organization can utilize other analytics data by creating KPIs. These KPIs lead to business level decision making.<br> <br> <br> <br> Ruckus finds new ways to innovate. We’ve seen many vendors pop up when it comes to IoT and 5G. Ruckus has a single access point which includes these radios.<br> <br> <br> <br> It brings an advantage for them to provide a single platform for IoT, for example, where we would normally see disparate systems. Their IoT dashboard was quite extensive, integrating with systems such as Samsung SmartThings.<br> <br> <br> <br> Resources<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Check out the Ruckus Network session from MFD7:<br> <br> <br> <br> * <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHLYDDXk3o0&amp;list=PLinuRwpnsHadVCvfId_y9qUsGu1mCJCu7&amp;index=8">Creating a RUCKUS With a Purpose</a>* <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxmd7HkZXQk&amp;list=PLinuRwpnsHadVCvfId_y9qUsGu1mCJCu7&amp;index=9">Simplifying Large Shared Networks With Ruckus and Network Segmentation</a>* <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZQ6C_kdcJk&amp;list=PLinuRwpnsHadVCvfId_y9qUsGu1mCJCu7&amp;index=10">Ruckus Cloud Service with Practical Artificial Intelligence for Networks</a>* <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJiPUHGZxlM&amp;list=PLinuRwpnsHadVCvfId_y9qUsGu1mCJCu7&amp;index=11">Ruckus Innovating at the Edge</a>* <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDz6urTZ9XQ&amp;list=PLinuRwpnsHadVCvfId_y9qUsGu1mCJCu7&amp;index=12">Ruckus Next Generation Enterprise Network</a><br>
