Nokia has formed a collaboration with RUCKUS Networks, a CommScope business, to create an innovative solution for deploying seamless in-building and campus-wide connectivity, uniquely tailored to the needs of diverse industry verticals. This partnership offers an integrated fiber and Wi-Fi solution for delivering broadband service inside MDUs, offices, large venues, hospitality, medical facilities, and other enterprise segments.
Fiber is a game changer for campus and in-building connectivity due to its ability to offer future-proof capacity while significantly reducing power consumption and total cost of ownership. In addition to providing a single network for all services, it is essential to connect Wi-Fi access points. The combination of fiber and Wi-Fi delivers robust and scalable connectivity across mobility, IoT, and digital transformation initiatives.
This joint solution combines Nokia’s best-in-class fiber-based Optical LAN with RUCKUS Network’s industry-leading enterprise Wi-Fi and switching solutions, creating an integrated infrastructure.
Jaimie Lenderman, Principal Analyst for Broadband Access at Omdia, said: "As broadband access demands continue to grow, this partnership exemplifies the potential of aligning like-minded objectives to deliver fiber-based solutions that can support the diverse network requirements across a variety of industries and verticals."
According to Bart Giordano, SVP and president, Networking Intelligent Cellular Security Solutions, CommScope: “The partnership between Nokia and RUCKUS Networks will change the economics for the in-campus connectivity solutions for enterprise and vertical segments. As a single solution, we can now provide everything needed to quickly establish a LAN that can deliver fast, reliable, and secure broadband access services. It will also allow us to future-proof their networks and ensure the next generation of value-added services can be delivered easily.”
Sandy Motley, President of Fixed Networks at Nokia, said: “Fiber is a fantastic technology with a wide range of benefits. As an Optical LAN, it can reduce energy costs by 40% and TCO by as much as 50%. When combined with RUCKUS’s industry-leading Wi-Fi portfolio, we are creating a campus connectivity solution that will allow enterprises to grow their business, reduce their costs, and be more sustainable.”
