RUCKUS Networks, which is a division of Commscope, and Nokia have announced a new AI-driven solution aimed at enhancing in-building and campus-wide connectivity, specifically tailored to key industry verticals such as multi-dwelling units (MDUs), hospitality, large public venues (LPVs), and education. The solution integrates RUCKUS Networks’ Wi-Fi technology with Nokia’s high-capacity optical fiber network, providing a seamless connectivity experience. This collaboration is designed to offer scalability, reliability, and efficiency, potentially reducing total cost of ownership for service providers and enterprises.
The integrated solution supports bandwidth-intensive and latency-sensitive applications, such as AR/VR/XR, 4K video streaming, online gaming, and IoT devices. The AI-driven Wi-Fi and fiber connectivity can be deployed in both greenfield and brownfield environments, simplifying deployment and improving return on investment. The solution is also environmentally friendly, with Optical LAN technology reducing energy costs by 40% and total cost of ownership by up to 50%. The offering is positioned to accelerate time-to-market, lower operational costs, and enable the provision of value-added services for integrators, telcos, and managed service providers.
