3 September, 2024Espoo, Finland – Nokia today announced a
collaboration with RUCKUS Networks, a CommScope business, to create

services, it is essential to connect Wi-Fi access points. The

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.”

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.”
