Build a connected campus to transform work, learning and safety
Today’s smart campus network is built on a foundation of connectivity designed to increase productivity, efficiency, learning, and safety. Reliable high-speed fiber rings, inside plant fiber, PoE (power over Ethernet), and powered fiber create a solid infrastructure for Wi-Fi®, cellular, and IoT network coverage—inside and out. Converged wired and wireless management simplifies support, enhances network performance, and makes everything easier to use.
More than a vital IT asset, the campus network—and all it enables—reflects the vision and values of the organization. Whether you’re building a smart university campus, smart medical campus, or smart corporate campus, RUCKUS® Networks helps you shape and transform the future.
