SUNNYVALE, Calif., Nov. 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Ruckus
Wireless, Inc., a part of Brocade, today announced it has won the
Wireless Broadband Alliance (WBA) Wi-Fi Industry Awards for "Best
Converged Network Infrastructure" and "Distinguished WBA Member"
for its OpenG™ technology. This is the second consecutive year
Ruckus has been recognized in the WBA's Wi-Fi Industry Awards,
which is validation of Ruckus's global reach and deployment
capabilities.
The Best Converged Network Infrastructure Award is designed to
recognize advances in converged wireless network infrastructure
deployments, and the Distinguished WBA Member Award was created to
recognize the contribution of WBA non-operator members to WBA work
and work-areas. According to the WBA, "The judges top prize went to
Ruckus as a good example of convergence in a direction that's at
the core of service provider thinking, particularly as Ruckus looks
to target the enterprise. We also recognized Ruckus Wireless for
its outstanding industry input and for its contribution to the
wireless industry over the last year."
"We are honored to be recognized once again by the WBA Wi-Fi
Industry Awards," said Dan
Rabinovitsj, COO, Ruckus Wireless Business Unit, Brocade.
"This serves as an important milestone for us, which we believe
validates the significant strides we've made this year with our
OpenG technology. Enterprises and service providers around the
world are recognizing the need for an in-building cellular solution
that is easy to deploy and provides an attractive total cost of
ownership (TCO) while improving coverage and performance."
Ruckus's OpenG technology combines coordinated shared spectrum,
such as 3.5 GHz in the U.S., with neutral host-capable small cells
to enable cost-effective, ubiquitous in-building cellular coverage.
While distributed antenna systems (DAS) and traditional small cells
can address some of the issues for in-building wireless data
connectivity, their economics and deployment complexity limit their
application. Ruckus' OpenG technology offers a significantly less
expensive, easier-to-deploy, mobile network-neutral
alternative.
