Participate in the RIOT Program

The Ruckus Interoperability and Open Testing (RIOT) initiative is a Wi-Fi certification program developed specifically to ensure seamless operation between third-party systems and Ruckus Smart Wi-Fi products and technology.

The goal of the RIOT program is to create an ecosystem of complementary products, such as dual-mode phones, VoIP systems, firewalls, VPN concentrators, switches, routers, client network interface cards and other networking solutions, to accelerate the deployment of a Smart Wi-Fi based wireless LANs. The program includes interoperability and performance testing and, in some cases, custom optimization.

The RIOT program also includes testing of products in the IPTV space, such as set top boxes, broadband gateways, cable modems and other devices, that can be combined to simplify the installation and speed the deployment of IP-based video services, such as IPTV, through the use of standards-based Wi-Fi technology.

The RIOT initiative enables manufacturers to significantly enhance the value proposition of their products to prospective enterprise and service provider clients. This is achieved by RIOT certification, demonstrating the ability to deliver and workable, interoperable and cohesive solution that addresses a specific customer use case or more general industry application.

All RIOT testing simulates a real-world domestic environment, introducing varying forms of interference, multiple traffic types and different distances and walls between end points. RIOT testing includes quantitative as well as qualitative testing of third-party devices with Ruckus Wireless gear.

RIOT testing examines a variety of different types of traffic and traffic distribution schemes using industry defacto testing tools such as IXIA's CHARIOT. Ruckus has also developed our own custom performance measurement programs (ZING/ZAPD) that provide a complete and accurate measurement of packet loss to determine the real-time quality of traffic sent across a wireless network. The results from this tool will provide valuable and demonstrable performance validation.

All members will have complete review of and control over the language that describes their participating in the program prior to the public dissemination of program information.
