RUCKUS helps boost productivity and reduce costs
Ocean State Job Lot (a leading US discount retailer) operates a 1.2‑million‑square‑foot distribution center that depends on reliable wireless connectivity to move constantly changing inventory. As its legacy Wi‑Fi system approached end‑of‑support, OSJL used the timing to switch to a future‑ready solution designed to improve reliability and support modern warehouse operations.
OSJL deployed RUCKUS access points featuring BeamFlex® adaptive antenna technology, supported by RUCKUS One cloud management for improved visibility and performance. The upgraded network delivers seamless, facility‑wide coverage and significantly enhances scanning efficiency and operational reliability.
Since adopting RUCKUS, OSJL has achieved 85% fewer dropped Wi‑Fi connections and requires fewer APs than competing solutions, delivering measurable gains in productivity and long-term cost savings.
