Better together
Performance and reliability from Ruckus’s Elite Partner
We have been deploying and supporting the technology behind Ruckus for many years. Its performance and reliability have been well tested and demonstrated over the years.
Why Wi-Fi 7
Wi-Fi 7 is wholly better than Wi-Fi 6 in all aspects and inline with supporting best results Ruckus Networks are transforming their portfolio to a three-radio architecture to simultaneously support the 2.4 Ghz, 5 Ghz and 6 Ghz bands
required for the new standard.
The key differences between Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 7 are:
.1
Wi-Fi 7 offers 4.8 times faster speed
.2
Has 2.4 times more bandwidth
.3
2 times more data density, channel bandwidth and data streams
.4
16 spatial streams, which is 2 times greater than Wi-Fi 6
The benefits this will bring are:
Wider channels and greater 6 GHz capacity deliver massive throughput boosts with peak rates exceeding 40Gpbs which is four times the throughput of Wi-Fi 6
Multi-link operation (MLO) uses multiple bands to simultaneously connect AP and user device resulting in significant increase to throughput, reduced latency and improved connection reliability
Preamble puncturing enables a Wi-Fi 7 AP to transmit a ‘punctured’ portion of a channel if a portion of that channel spectrum is being used by legacy users. This feature allows Wi-Fi 7 to support 320 MHz channel without any drop in performance and doubling the performance of Wi-Fi 6
Advanced applications like AR and VR can’t tolerate highly variable latency levels – RUCKUS Wi-Fi 7 enhancements include smart QoS mirroring to deliver the deterministic latency that applications need

Secure onboarding
RUCKUS Cloudpath® Enrollment System simplifies BYOD and secure guest access with easy, secure self-service network onboarding.
Employees, students, partners, and guests onboard their devices once and then automatically re-authenticate in the future—in a process that is entirely transparent. They no longer need to repeatedly re-enter credentials on subsequent network connections.
Headless devices like gaming consoles, printers and IoT devices are also easily onboarded.
The system allows automated network onboarding and authentication meaning the IT help desk do not need to intervene.
WPA2/WPA3-Enterprise enables secure connectivity, with powerful encryption for data in transit over the air.
An up-front posture check with remediation means that every device employs baseline security measures before it connects.
Defining and managing granular policies govern the level of access with the ability to revoke access at any time.
Network segmentation
Network segmentation is the practice of dividing the enterprise network into smaller sub-networks, isolating users and devices from one another to enhance IT security and the user experience.
As organisations add more devices including unmanaged and IoT devices this can increase security risk, a single breach can leave the network open to threats moving around within the entire network.
Network segmentation helps to address this risk stopping threats propagating to other network segments. RUCKUS supports both VLANs and VXLANs.
Network segmentation also enables better user experience and is particularly effective for multi-dwelling units such as communal residential blocks.
