Each provides distinct and valuable advantages when used individually. Together they offer a robust solution for delivering highly reliable user experiences, solving coverage and mobility issues as well as the ability to relieve IT organisations from complex operational demands.
The AI-driven RUCKUS One™ cloud native platform delivers network assurance, service delivery and business intelligence in a unified dashboard to simplify converged network management across multi-access public and private networks.
The Network as a Service (NaaS) program enables a new operational and financial model for businesses to consume networking solutions and services delivered on a subscription basis. This provides the option to forego the traditional model requiring up front capital expenditure for network equipment. The NaaS program enables businesses to outsource elements or all their lifecycle operations to experts at RUCKUS and its channel partners and to also take advantage of CommScope® Financial Services traditional leasing or complete hardware-as-a-service finance models.
The new multi-access public and private (MAPP) solution is offered with NaaS and makes it easy to deploy and operate networks leveraging private cellular alone or as a converged network using a multi-access mix of Wi-Fi®, IoT, wired and private cellular. The solution is ideal for businesses and partners that need to deploy private cellular solutions for smart manufacturing and other applications that integrate with their existing IP network infrastructure enabling the application of common security, QoS and roaming policies across each access technology.
“Today, many enterprises and service providers are looking to deploy both Wi-Fi and 4G/5G networks to deliver the right type of connectivity for the right use case,” noted Chris DePuy, technology analyst and co-founder, 650 Group. “And as a result, AI-driven converged solutions, such as RUCKUS One, are what the market is looking for. RUCKUS Networks is offering a unique solution in this regard, as a one-stop shop for multi-access public and private network management with the ability to outsource technological and operational resources to RUCKUS Networks’ NaaS and its extensive channel partner network.”
