BARCELONA, Spain, Feb. 27, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Mobile
World Congress -- Ruckus Wireless, a part of Brocade, today
announced Ruckus Service Provider (SP) Cloud, a fully customizable
solution for service providers to deliver high-value managed
services to their customers. Ruckus SP Cloud is a managed service
offering that provides enterprise Wi-Fi through Ruckus'
industry-leading access points (APs), plus upcoming support for
in-building LTE service through Ruckus' OpenG™technology-based
small cells and wired networking with Brocade® ICX® switches. With
SP Cloud, Ruckus is delivering an integrated platform that
simplifies the configuration, monitoring and troubleshooting of
both wired and wireless networks.
Ruckus SP Cloud lets service providers stay true to their brands
while also significantly reducing required resources and speeding
time-to-market, enabling them to more readily tap into the large
and fast-growing enterprise managed services market opportunity.
Unlike competitive offerings, Ruckus SP Cloud is purpose built for
service providers, incorporating dedicated instances for
each—including a choice of public or privately owned data
center—with carrier-grade service level agreements (SLAs).
Furthermore, Ruckus SP Cloud is designed to be customized, deployed
and managed by systems integrators, providing a flexible,
cost-effective, operator-specific platform for a range of
high-performance enterprise managed networking services.
"At Ruckus, we are fully invested in offering service providers
innovative options to grow their businesses while delivering the
best experiences to their customers," said Dan Rabinovitsj, chief operating officer, Ruckus
Wireless Business Unit, Brocade. "Ruckus SP Cloud provides a simple
and fast way for service providers to offer managed Wi-Fi, LTE and
switching services, helping them create and deploy any way they
want."
Alongside the launch of SP Cloud, Ruckus Wireless today
introduced its OpenG small cell product portfolio. The increase in
data traffic and lack of available new spectrum has resulted in
added complexities, especially regarding indoor coverage.
Traditional small cell deployments have struggled to fully deal
with the increasing requirements in these high density
environments. Ruckus OpenG small cells can successfully address
this by combining coordinated shared spectrum with neutral host
capabilities to enable service providers to offer cost-effective
in-building cellular coverage to building owners of all sizes.
The company's new portfolio includes two fully functional OpenG
small cells for indoor and outdoor deployments which are in trials
today and will be generally available in the third quarter of this
year:
- The Ruckus Q710, a 3.5 GHz TD-LTE small cell that covers
approximately 10,000 square feet of indoor space and supports 64
concurrently active and virtually unlimited idle users.
- The Ruckus Q910, a 3.5 GHz TD-LTE small cell that provides an
approximately 300-foot outdoor range and supports 64 concurrently
active and virtually unlimited idle users.
OpenG is based on the technology co-developed through the CBRS
Alliance, of which Ruckus Wireless is a founding member. Together
with other industry leaders, Ruckus is working to develop, market
and promote LTE-based solutions utilizing the shared spectrum of
the U.S. 3.5 GHz CBRS band.
During Mobile World Congress in Barcelona this week, Ruckus will be showing a
demonstration of Ruckus SP Cloud and the new OpenG small cell
products in its booth in hall 2, suite 2G29 at the Fira Gran Via.
