Ruckus Wireless WAN Primary Use Case
NN
Nadeem Nasir
IT Manager at a manufacturing company with 51-200 employees
It is the same as the first deployment where we moved to a company that had a wireless solution in their warehouse. In warehouses, you need to accommodate for heat. They had a lot of problems with access points dying and communicating, and they couldn't operate in the heat. The solution was to buy access points capable of being deployed outside, which have better shielding and are designed to handle higher and lower temperatures. We deployed those in the warehouse and that fixed all the communication problems. The need was to fix a warehouse's bad Wi-Fi. In the process, I replaced all of the Wi-Fi. The building consists of 75% warehouse and 25% office. I replaced everything and put outside access points only in the warehouse. On the office side, we put the normal conventional Ruckus Wireless WAN access points.

View full review »I recommend using Ruckus. First of all, the cost and the price are okay compared to Cisco or Huawei. Secondly, the use is easy, and we have a significant result in terms of quality and signal level. We use it as an access point to provide Internet coverage for the public.

If it’s a guest, they should not have access to our critical infrastructure assets. If a user is an admin, they will be placed on the WAN that is relevant to the management WAN of the devices.

It's great for the hospitality industry. We mainly deployed it here in the hospitality industry as they are very concerned about their customers in hotels. They stay there for leisure, so they don't want any complaints about their WiFi solutions. We mainly deployed them in five-star hotels and in sports facilities.
We deploy them in our universities where there are a large number of students with multiple devices (laptops, mobile phones, smartwatches). They need a strong, robust solution for WiFi, so we use Ruckus Wireless.

Our preferred combination is Ruckus Wireless together with Ruckus Switches. We can combine it with other switches, and we do. It works with Extreme Switches, for example. Still, the preferred combination is Ruckus Switches and Ruckus Access Points because we have one window for support, and we can manage both the switches and the wireless system through the same management system.
We use Ruckus Wireless WAN for connectivity.

We use this solution for our customers with multiple branches who do not need experienced IT personnel to manage it. They can remotely manage their access points and switches using the cloud solution.
It is very straightforward because it is plug-and-play and automatically onboard the APs to the cloud. It is a highly recommended solution for people with a little bit of IT experience who need a simple and fast deployment.

I use Ruckus Wireless WAN and deploy it for my customers.
They use it for a variety of business cases, including the WiFi deployment for the business setup. If there are a lot of customers, with more than 100, or 200 branches, they prefer to have their own private cloud. They may want to deploy their own private cloud or simply use the public cloud. Corporate clients would prefer to use a virtual environment if they already have one; otherwise, they will opt for an on-premises hardware solution.
View full review »In terms of the use case for Ruckus Wireless WAN, we have a WiFi First network design, so that's how we connect. We got rid of 50 percent of our ports, so WiFi First, it's mostly enterprise, and then in our malls, it's where we connect to a shopping center's WiFi while advertising and also focus advertising on products and specials inside the mall.
