Major Advances in Transforming Wi-Fi into a Carrier Class Technology Propels Ruckus CEO to be Recognized as One of the Most Powerful People in Telecoms
SUNNYVALE, CA, September 27, 2010 – Ruckus Wireless™, the smart mobile internetworking company, today announced that its President and CEO, Ms. Selina Lo, has been named by Global Telecoms Business as one of the 100 most powerful people in the telecoms industry worldwide.
Ms. Lo debuted on the Global Telecoms Business’ annual list – the GTB Power100 – which was revealed today both on the Global Telecoms Business website and in its magazine, reflects major breakthroughs Ruckus Wireless has made in the area of Wi-Fi technology for service providers.
The Mobile Internet is driving fundamental changes in telecom architecture around the world as a flood of data traffic from new smart phones and wireless-enabled devices hit carrier networks. Consequently, telecom providers around the world are now turning to smarter Wi-Fi solutions for providing data offload services, reliable last mile access and managed Wi-Fi services. Smarter Wi-Fi systems increase the range and reliability of Wi-Fi allowing telecom providers to efficiently increase the capacity and coverage of their networks at a fraction of the cost of conventional alternatives.
Known for her ability to create new markets, innovate new technology and capitalize on emerging trends, Ms. Lo has more than 20 years of experience in the networking and communications industries.
Having pioneered smarter Wi-Fi systems to telecom providers around the world such as AT&T, Deutsche Telecom, Swisscom, Belgacom, PCCW, Telus, Telenor and many others, Ms. Lo has done what many thought could never achieved: turning the unlicensed spectrum into reliable transport for global telecoms. Ms. Lo is now innovating technology to help mobile operators solve new infrastructure problems caused by the overload of data traffic hitting 3G networks everywhere.
“The Mobile Internet is redefining Wi-Fi as a strategic tool for carriers in virtually every market around the world,” said Ms. Lo. “Our success in this market reflects the hard work we done over the last five years to transform Wi-Fi into a reliable utility that carriers can count on to provide the next generation of Wi-Fi access and offload services. No one else has focused their attention on the needs of carriers like we have.”
“We congratulate all the members of the GTB Power100 in 2010,” said Laurence Mackintosh, publisher of Global Telecoms Business. The GTB Power100 list was compiled from nominations by worldwide readers of Global Telecoms Business — including CEOs, CFOs and other senior executives of the world’s major operators, telecoms vendors and industry organizations.
