Ruckus Wireless Named Visionary in Gartner's 2010 Wireless LAN Infrastructure Magic Quadrant

Thursday, February 18, 2010

Strong Carrier Relationships, Burgeoning Partner Base and Innovative Wi-Fi Breakthroughs Drive Company's Growth.

SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- Ruckus Wireless™, one of today's fastest growing wireless networking companies, today announced that it has been positioned by Gartner in the Visionaries section of its 2010 Magic Quadrant on wireless LANs (WLANs).

Gartner placed Ruckus Wireless in the Visionaries quadrant for demonstrating an ability to increase features in its offerings and for providing a unique and differentiated approach to the market. Companies placed in the Visionaries quadrant have demonstrated innovative solutions in one or more key areas of WLAN technology such as convergence, security, management or operational efficiency.

Gartner bases its evaluation on two sets of criteria: 1) ability to execute and 2) completeness of vision. The ability to execute measures how well a company sells and supports its WLAN products and services on a global basis. Completeness of vision focuses on the vendor's potential and points to its future likelihood of success.

Strong carrier relationships, a broad indoor/outdoor product offering, unique technology innovation and aggressive pricing models differentiate Ruckus Wireless in the WLAN market. Ruckus remains the only Wi-Fi vendor offering systems that support dynamic beamforming for improved Wi-Fi range and reliability. This patented technology has been demonstrated to reduce costs, improve user connectivity and uniquely enable support for multimedia applications such as IP-based streaming video and voice.

"In a very short period of time, Ruckus Wireless has advanced the state of Wi-Fi technology with range and reliability improvements that are transforming the wireless LAN industry," said Selina Lo, president and CEO of Ruckus Wireless. "Our success in the WLAN market and Gartner's recognition validate the value of these breakthroughs and the vision that drove their innovation."

For inclusion in the WLAN Infrastructure Magic Quadrant, Ruckus explained how its offerings deliver the industry's best 802.11n WLAN price/performance ratio at the lowest total cost of ownership by combining unique dynamic beamforming, 802.11n and adaptive meshing technologies within a unified indoor/outdoor wireless LAN solution. With this unique collection of wireless capabilities, network designers can deploy its next gen wireless systems in half the time, at half the cost with half the support overhead, while delivering three times the performance and reliability over alternative solutions.
