2. What is Ruckus Wireless trying to do?
Ruckus is making Wi-Fi better – not necessarily faster or cheaper but more reliable. We are transforming Wi-Fi from a technology of convenience into a ubiquitous utility that can be used for much more than merely surfing the Internet. Ruckus products and technology help enterprises and carriers reduce the cost of deployment, increase the range and reliability of their Wi-Fi networks and ensure consistent performance at range.
3. Why the name Ruckus?
Ruckus reflects what we believe is going on the home networking market – a commotion. But a good one. Ruckus is energy, a disruptive energy that, if used correctly, can be very powerful.
Think of the Berlin Wall. Or Martin Luther King’s “dream.” That was the ultimate ruckus - a disturbance of the good kind. Either way, that's us.
We are making a commotion that is drawing the attention of people everywhere. We're wireless with an edge. That edge is our ability to develop innovative technology that speeds and steers multimedia content through the air to laptops, PDAs, phone and TVs in the most efficient way possible. So what's the all ruckus about? It's about a new way to build Wi-Fi networks. It's freedom, choices, flexibility and options - never before available or even possible.
The ruckus is a single network for everything: voice, video and data. The ruckus is a new way to reliably distribute multimedia content to every corner of a building, home, hotel, airport or anywhere else - fast and far. Probably more than you wanted to know. You can tell we feel strongly about it.
