Ruckus Cloud Wi-Fi

EXCEPTIONAL WI-FI MANAGED FROM THE CLOUD

Ruckus Cloud Wi-Fi simplifies deployment, monitoring and management of your distributed wireless network. Manage all of your WLANs from anywhere using the intuitive web interface or our full-featured mobile app. Administrators get a unified (“single pane of glass”) view of all locations, as well as connected access points (APs) and clients.

MANAGEMENT SIMPLICITY
Radically simplify WLAN administrative tasks—from day-to-day management to setting up new venues and creating guest networks. Improve responsiveness to organizational needs while reducing IT overhead.

VISIBILITY AND CONTROL FROM ANYWHERE
Get a single-pane-of-glass view of your WLANs, connected APs and clients across multiple sites. View real-time and historical data on applications, traffic, clients and more. Manage your Wi-Fi network from anywhere using the web interface or mobile app.

BETTER PERFORMANCE AT A LOWER COST OF OWNERSHIP
Give users a superior Wi-Fi experience while saving money. Our high-density access points (APs) support more users per AP than competitive offerings. Greater capacity and coverage mean you save on your Wi-Fi infrastructure as you grow.
