A RUCKUS network in your school
Simplifies E-Rate purchases
E-Rate programs are invaluable assistance for U.S. schools, but applying is not always an easy process. You don’t want to miss a filing deadline or a single dollar of savings. RUCKUS Networks has created several tools to simplify the application process, including:
- An ordering guide for products and services available through E-Rate funding
- A budget calculator from E-Rate Profit Works
- An E-Rate eligibility product search tool
- A dedicated funding support team to help you with the application process
Promotes digital inclusion
There are five stages for digital transition, but that doesn’t mean it’s an orderly transition. In fact, it can be downright messy, as demonstrated by the urgent rush to remote learning during the pandemic. A RUCKUS network can reinforce your progress so you can:
- Use any combination of virtual and hybrid school teaching models
- Support online curriculum, testing and learning management systems, esports and more
- Meet BYOD demands with secure network onboarding using Cloudpath® Enrollment System
- Expand wireless coverage to support classroom, school and district-wide mobility
- Deploy temporary or mobile wireless hot spots to underserved communities
Explore digital equity from network design to funding
Puts esports on a winning digital field
The momentum for esports in education is unstoppable—unless your network stops it. Gamers can’t compete if they’re dealing with connection problems, latency or jitter. That’s why a successful esports program depends on a reliable, high-performance network. The same RUCKUS network that supports your academic programs can also handle the demands of esports, including:
- Modular switching with the scalability for multigigabit speeds
- RUCKUS Cloudpath Enrollment System for secure guest access
- RUCKUS Analytics for insights into network performance, applications, utilization and more
- Future proofing with Wi-Fi 6/6E access points (APs), 90-watt PoE, IoT-enabled APs and upgradable uplinks
Enables more effective responses to vaping incidents
Vaping prevention efforts can lead to frustrating “cat-and-mouse” chases. With our partners, we enable a more effective approach—integrating vaping sensors and surveillance cameras into your RUCKUS wireless network. Enforcement staff receive a time-stamped image of students in the vicinity of the vaping alarm so they can act before the chase begins. This integrated solution improves response because:
- It’s less disruptive so, when there’s a vaping alert, staff don’t need to rush to the scene
- Alarms can be coordinated with surveillance footage to help identify offenders
- Clear evidence reduces the likelihood of peer bullying that keeps bystanders silent
- Visual evidence can facilitate more positive discussions with students, parents and guardians.

Can school bus Wi-Fi help address digital equity?
One of the first things we’ve seen is equipping buses with Wi-Fi and LTE backhaul (such as the RUCKUS M510 access point) and park it in neighborhoods where families lack internet access serving as a hotspot for the students.
