Ruckus - Wireless that simply works
Today's wireless is more pervasive and economical than ever. No wonder enterprises and
carriers want it to do more. Who wouldn't? No longer a mere technology of convenience,
Wi-Fi is being driven to new places, becoming more reliable, extensible and adaptive.
And guess who's doing the driving?
Evolution Systems uses Ruckus WLAN technology to implement powerful, cost effective systems for a wide range of organisations such as:
- Education, including primary schools, secondary schools and colleges
- Professional organisations such as solicitors and accountants
- SME's
- Logistics
- Health Care
Ruckus is seriously shaking up the Wi-Fi world with technology that lets enterprises and carriers take wireless where it's never gone before....
Today, the WLAN market is split between high-end WLAN switch suppliers and low-end consumer Wi-Fi companies. Ruckus is positioned to provide the best of both, with all the value, features, and functionality of high end systems in easy-to-use, affordable solutions.

Reliable Wi-Fi
People are sick and tired of unstable connections dropped packets and erratic performance. The Ruckus wireless LAN (WLAN) delivers better coverage capacity and reliability. People want the sophistication of a high-end WLAN but is more affordable and easier to deploy and manage. -
Easy to set up and manage
Fully pluggable, meshable, and easy to install, configure and expand with automatic client administration and advanced security as well as a Quality of Service (QoS) which supports triple play data, video and voice. -
Beamflex - using smart antenna technology
For greater speed, fewer errors, and instant bandwidth delivery, BeamFlex offers first-of-its-kind smart antenna technology that maximizes signal coverage, throughput, and network capacity. It delivers MIMO benefits to 802.11a/b/g/n devices, to further increase MIMO diversity gain and maximize spatial multi-plexing potential at minimal cost.BeamFlex consists of a smart, compact antenna array with multiple elements, which can be combined in real time to form unique antenna patterns. The advanced BeamFlex software continually learns the environment with all its hostilities and interference sources, including disruptive RF conditions, numerous communicating devices, network performance issues, and application flows. Then, it selects the optimum antenna pattern for each communicating device in real time, while actively avoiding interference and minimizing noise to nearby networks and devices.

Smart Quality of Service (QoS)
Smart QoS, and application-aware traffic classification capabilities deliver robust wireless transport for Multi-media streams.When SmartCast detects a wireless client subscribing to a multicast streaming application, such as IPTV or a VOIP call, it directs the associated multicast packets to each subscriber, using the optimum data rate and signal path. To ensure peak performance, all packets are queued/de-queued by specialized schedulers, optimized for the corresponding traffic type, the delay/jitter tolerance and bandwidth requirements of the traffic, and the changing characteristics of each station on the WLAN

Smart security is vital in Wireless LANs
SmartSec is a unique collection of security capabilities that automates client-side security, making it easy to use. It provides a patent-pending mechanism that generates, configures, and installs encryption keys on client devices in a process that's totally transparent to the user.SmartSec Features include:
- Pre-shared encryption keys
- Role-based user access
- Layer 2/3 client isolation
- Robust link layer encryption
- Wireless intrusion detection
- Industry first Dynamic PSK
- Captive portal authentication
- Automatic guest access
- ActiveDirectory, LDAP, and RADIUS support

Intelligent indoor and outdoor mesh
With Ruckus SmartMesh Networking, you reduce cumbersome RF planning and costly cable backhaul, as Ethernet wiring is no longer needed to connect to individual access points. Enterprise WLAN deployment becomes dramatically faster, simpler, and less costly, as access points are simply plugged into any convenient power source. No extensive RF site surveys, cable runs, configuration, or optimization adjustments are required.SmartMesh Networking is the first Wi-Fi meshing approach that combines high-gain smart antenna arrays, sophisticated RF routing, and centralized management in a single WLAN system. And it extends Smart Wi-Fi technology to create a new class of reliable WLANs that are self-organizing, self-optimizing, and self-healing.

Ruckus is the home of 802.11n - why?
To successfully apply 802.11n to high bandwidth enterprise applications such as video conferencing, medical image sharing, interactive learning, and IPTV, there's really only one place to turn: Ruckus Wireless technology.Why Ruckus? Because 802.11n uses "spatial multiplexing" to combine two beams of data at the receiving end, theoretically doubling throughput but also doubling the chances of interference Ruckus BeamFlex Smart antenna technology mitigates interference by sending WiFi energy only in the intended direction, thereby greatly increasing the range of successful spatial multiplexing. In addition, Ruckus improves 802.11n's "channel bonding" techniques which combine two 20Mhz channels into a single 40MHz channel for increased throughput. With BeamFlex, channel bonding effectivenes is increased four-fold.
