CommScope, a global leader in network connectivity, has officially announced the launch of new AI-driven Wi-Fi 7 and Gen AI-based solutions from RUCKUS Networks, further strengthening its portfolio for the hospitality industry.
For better understanding, CommScope’s hospitality portfolio has made a name for itself by providing full-service, mid-scale, and limited-service hotels a range of connectivity options so to help them eventually put-together customized guest Wi-Fi® experiences that, on their part, meet the unique demands of each market segment.
More on the given development would reveal how these new solutions actually stand atop RUCKUS One® platform, which is essentially an AI-driven, cloud native platform capable of delivering network assurance, service delivery, and business intelligence in a unified dashboard.
As a result, RUCKUS® hospitality solutions can allow businesses to pick and choose the right combination for their specific needs. They also enable LAN service to provide more customized solutions.
“RUCKUS has worked with leading hotels around the world to raise the bar for wireless connectivity and guest experiences,” said Bart Giordano, SVP & president, NICS, CommScope. “These cutting-edge RUCKUS solutions reflect our commitment to helping our hospitality customers and partners scale their networks, reduce operational costs, and improve performance and reliability through AI-driven network assurance systems. We offer a purpose-driven solution for every tier of the hospitality spectrum.”
Talk about what the combined proposition has on the offer for each hospitality segment, we begin from full-service hotels that can access the new H670 access point (AP) to accelerate their digital transformation and guest experiences.
In case you weren’t aware, the stated technology translates a tri-radio wall-mounted AP, which offers dual concurrent IoT radios and dual multi-gigabit Power over Ethernet (PoE) output ports to facilitate seamless IoT integration and support for next-generation in-room technologies, ranging from smart locks to environmental sensors.
Complementing that would be the infrastructure for high device density and RF efficiency, something that comes in handy to enhance guest experience around streaming, video conferencing platforms, and smart room controls.
Next up, we have the mid-scale hotels that can tap into RUCKUS R370 solution to simplify operations. You see, this particular technology really goes the distance to provide secure, reliable and easy-to-manage wireless coverage in guest rooms, small lobbies, and small dining areas.
Furthermore, the available dual-band Wi-Fi 7 capability effectively doubles the PHY data rate of entry-level Wi-Fi 6 APs, and at the same time, supports seamless streaming, video calls, and IoT integration, bringing to the fore a future-ready network experience without a costly infrastructure overhaul.
Moving on to limited-service hotels, they can come expecting uninterrupted access of cloud-connected remote management services for the RUCKUS Unleashed™ platform, an integrated guest Wi-Fi portal, along with high-performance, cost-effective hardware, featuring the RUCKUS R350e AP and the new ICX® 8100 Ethernet switch.
They can also access RUCKUS ICX 8100 switch to conceive simplified, secure, enterprise-grade networking at an affordable price.
As for what other solutions RUCKUS’ suite has in place, it holds RUCKUS One Hospitality Edition technology. This one delivers at your disposal agentic AI-powered customizable dashboard canvas, a purpose-driven interface which allows users to interact with and automate their networks using plain English. It further packs RUCKUS DPSK3 to let hotels provide secure, seamless Wi-Fi 7 access at scale via this patented technology.
RUCKUS’ One Hospitality Edition even puts on display Role Based Access Control (RBAC) which enables brands to confidently delegate responsibilities without compromising security or visibility. If that wasn’t enough, it also has RUCKUS One dynamic configuration template engine, geared towards streamlining the deployment process, achieving consistency and reducing the potential for configuration errors.
Anyway, upon zooming out to focus on other innovations across RUCKUS’ suite, we would find a Brand 360 Dashboard. This particular innovation gives brands a global view with real-time visibility into how each property is performing, measuring compliance with brand standards, quality of guest connectivity, as well as the effectiveness of network service partners.
We would also find an AI onboarding assistant, who can help you improve efficiency, productivity and accuracy, while simultaneously creating and deploying configurations and managing policy enforcement to help every property operate within brand guidelines.
