The Company
Formed in June 2004, Ruckus Wireless is Wi-Fi technology
pioneer focused on building the next generation of Smart
Wireless LAN systems. Named a Technology Pioneer by the
World Economic Forum, Ruckus Wireless is credited with
developing the first Smart Wi-Fi products and technology
that extend the range of Wi-Fi signals and automatically
adapt to environmental changes. Venture-backed, Ruckus
Wireless has raised $42 million in capital from some of
the world’s leading investors including Sequoia Capital,
Sutter Hill, T-Ventures, WK Technology Fund and Motorola
Ventures. The Company manufactures and markets Smart
Wi-Fi products directly to broadband services providers
and Smart WLAN systems indirectly to enterprise
customers. To date, Ruckus has shipped more than 500,000
Smart Wi-Fi systems worldwide.
The Market
Ruckus Wireless competes in the multi-billion dollar
market for enterprise Wi-Fi local area networks. The
Dell’Oro Group forecasts the worldwide WLAN market to
reach $9 billion by 2011, with the enterprise segment
representing over 32 percent of the total market. The
WLAN market is being driven by the strong trend toward
the use of Wi-Fi as a ubiquitous utility to support more
mature applications such as voice, video, digital
signage and other sophisticated uses. Today the WLAN
market is largely split between high end WLAN switch
suppliers and low end consumer Wi-Fi companies. Ruckus
Wireless is positioned to provide all the value,
features and functionality of high end systems but
within an easy-to-use and affordable system.
The Problem
Originally developed as a technology of convenience,
Wi-Fi is considered ill-equipped to provide reliable
connectivity and consistent performance within the
enterprise. Constant changes in the RF environment make
it difficult for IT staff to troubleshoot problems.
Inadequate range, spotty coverage, inconsistent
connectivity and erratic behavior remain fundamental
issues to WLAN deployment. Meanwhile most of today’s
WLAN systems are often too costly and complex for
enterprise IT departments.
The Solution
Ruckus Wireless invented and patented Smart Wi-Fi
technology - advanced RF routing technology. Smart
Wi-Fi, for the first time, brings range and reliability
to WLAN environments through the use of a
software-controlled antenna system. Smart Wi-Fi
leverages an intelligent, high-gain directional antenna
system to enable Wi-Fi signals to be formed, focused and
directed over the best performing paths at any given
time. Completely adaptive, Smart Wi-Fi technology is
unique to Ruckus Wireless and integrated into every
system to extend signal range and reliability. Smart
Wi-Fi technology steers signals around interference,
obstructions and obstacles to ensure the unprecedented
coverage and consistent performance at range. Its
flagship product line, ZoneFlex, represents the next
generation of centralized WLAN systems.
The Team
The Ruckus team includes the world’s foremost experts in
Wi-Fi and networking technology from some of the
industry’s leading companies including Cisco Systems,
Nortel Networks, Fore Systems, Iospan, VxTel and
Packeteer. Ruckus Wireless is led by Ms. Selina Lo, an
industry icon responsible for creating new markets and
building successful companies such as Centillion
Networks and Alteon WebSystems. Founding engineers, Bill
Kish and Victor Shtrom, have a long -history of
developing innovative and cutting edge network and
wireless technology. And Steve Martin, former VP of
Engineering at Airespace (purchased by Cisco Systems)
heads worldwide engineering.
