The Ruckus SmartZone software platform provides unified software architecture across wireless LAN (WLAN) controllers, for appliance, virtualized and cloud environments offering the ultimate in deployment flexibility. This new WiFi software offers a high level of flexibility: scaling up to 300,000 devices, offering single and multi-tenancy, as well as ‘WiFi-as-you-grow’—the capability for the network to expand with and adapt to the changing needs of the business.

The new SmartZone software incorporates and supports all Ruckus ZoneFlex indoor and outdoor access points (APs), managed by a family of Ruckus physical and virtual appliance controllers, including Ruckus SmartZone 100 wireless LAN (WLAN) controller , Ruckus virtual SmartZone (vSZ) virtualized WLAN controller, Ruckus virtual Data Plane with vSZ-D and Ruckus SmartCell Gateway (SCG) 200.

The SmartZone software platform provides carrier-class performance, form factor flexibility, and high-performance WiFi that can scale as an enterprise or service provider grows. Enterprises and service providers can choose between multiple physical and virtual products to best suit their needs, with data tunneling or local breakout for maximum flexibility.

“Enterprises and service providers that are providing WiFi are under the stress of increasing mobile device proliferation and constantly escalating availability requirements of business-critical applications,” said Greg Beach, vice president of Product Management, Ruckus Wireless.  “As applications evolve and more devices get connected, both of them need to invest in a high performance and high availability network to overcome these challenges today, while investing for their future WiFi needs. With our Ruckus SmartZone software platform, we’re providing them with a solution that is cost-effective and easy to use and manage.”

The new SmartZone family of Ruckus physical and virtual appliance controllers is available now worldwide from authorized Ruckus BiG DOGs partners.  The vSZ-D will be available next quarter.
