RUCKUS Networks Integrates Generative, Edge, and Intent-Based AI
CommScope has announced a new wave of AI-driven solutions from RUCKUS Networks. These solutions integrate generative, edge, and intent-based AI features with RUCKUS Networks’ industry-leading Wi-Fi 7 portfolio, aiming to simplify, automate, and customize enterprise networks.
In addition, RUCKUS Networks and Nokia are previewing a joint enterprise solution that combines Nokia’s next-generation optical LAN solution with RUCKUS Wi-Fi access points (APs) and the RUCKUS One® platform. This collaboration offers a future-ready, green, high-capacity network alternative for in-building and campus connectivity, reducing complexity, space, energy, and costs compared to traditional copper-based LANs. The joint solution will be launched later this year and is available for preview at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) event in Barcelona, booth 2F40.
