EDUCAUSE: What Was All the RUCKUS® About?

Last week, the RUCKUS team attended the EDUCAUSE Annual Conference in San Antonio, TX, and we’re still buzzing with excitement! Each year, IT professionals, educators, and industry experts around the world come together at the EDUCAUSE conference to collaborate, grow professionally, and advance the use of information technology in higher education.

Starting off with a bang!

Day 1 of the conference started off with something big: the announcement of the RUCKUS Edge™ platform!  RUCKUS Edge is our new single-premises services platform for RUCKUS One® that can help bring services to the edge of your network and enable a hybrid cloud architecture. We loved getting to talk to attendees about this exciting new product and even show in-booth demonstrations!

Demonstrating what RUCKUS has to offer

The RUCKUS Edge platform is not the only product we got to show off. We also got to showcase our portfolio of higher education products and solutions that help build a smart, AI-driven, and converged campus and solve some of the toughest campus network challenges.

Many campuses face challenges achieving pervasive connectivity, attracting and retaining students, managing network infrastructure, and providing physical and device security. One of our solutions we got to demonstrate, the RUCKUS One network assurance and business intelligence platform, addresses these challenges by offering a unified platform for managing campus network infrastructure. Using AI-driven insights, RUCKUS One can enhance security, automate IT operations, simplify network management, and support seamless connectivity across campus.

We also got to talk with attendees about our indoor and outdoor access points (APs) and how they can provide reliable and high-speed connectivity in all parts of our campus, including our Wi-Fi 7 APs. Wi-Fi 7 is revolutionizing network solutions, and our R770 and R670 APs are paving the way by being the first enterprise grade Wi-Fi 7 APs.

Whether it is a medium-density area such as classrooms or libraries, a high-density stadium, or student residences, our APs are built to maintain a seamless education experience. In addition to our APs, our booth visitors also got to see our switches and learn how they offer scalable solutions for a growing campus.

Prize wheels and puppies and swag, oh my!

We had hundreds of attendees stop by our booth and, in addition to in-booth and virtual demos and meaningful conversations, they all got the opportunity to spin our prize wheel for a chance to win a RUCKUS Swag!

If you weren’t at the conference or didn’t have a chance to catch our virtual demos of RUCKUS Edge on LinkedIn, you can still watch the recordings here:
