Ruckus CEO Touts WiFi’s Role In ‘Comeback’ Of Voice Apps
Service provider revenues offset E-rate spending delays In Q4 2/11/2015 09:36:00 AM Eastern
By: John Eggerton
Voice-over-WiFi is clearly gaining momentum, culminating into a movement that represents “the comeback of the voice applications,” Selina Lo, president and CEO of Ruckus Wireless, a provider of WiFi gear and controllers to MSOs and other service providers, said Wednesday during the company’s fourth quarter earnings call.
As voice moves toward LTE, “everything is equalized,” she said. “Voice becomes IP-based, and voice-over-WiFi is definitely changing the business model for some service providers,” Lo added, referencing pushes underway at T-Mobile, Google and at Cablevision Systems, which just launched its WiFi-only “Freewheel” phone service.
Ruckus, which counts Cablevision, Bright House and Time Warner Cable among its customers, is “seeing a trend that the fixed line operators are gaining strength in the market,” Lo said. “I think that over the next two, three years that you definitely will see a bunch of game changing things happening in the service provider space.”

Ruckus Debuts Smart WiFi Technology for IP Calling
By Nathan Eddy | Posted 2015-02-10
By focusing and adapting WiFi signals over the best performing signal path, clients can connect at higher data rates.
Wireless systems specialist Ruckus introduced a collection of Smart WiFi technology software to enable higher quality IP-based voice calling over WiFi, otherwise known as WiFi calling.
The technology innovations for carrier-class WiFi calling include a number of technologies designed to optimize roaming and quality of service (QoS) for delay-sensitive voice traffic, including automatic QoS heuristics.
Heuristics is the ability to prioritize WiFi calling traffic by looking at the Type of Service (ToS) bits set by the smartphone in the IP header, or by using automatic packet flow heuristics that constantly examine the size and frequency of packets in any flow, encrypted or not.
"The ability to use WiFi to carrier corporate voice traffic has the potential to fundamentally change the tradition model by which organizations provide voice, video and data connectivity to employees," David Callisch, vice president of corporate marketing at Ruckus, told eWeek. "As WiFi calling services comes to market from carriers, business are able to effectively remove traditional wired phones, and all the costly and cumbersome cabling that goes along with them. While this won’t happen overnight, it will happen."
If too many new devices attempt to connect to a given WiFi access point (AP), already connected clients may experience service degradation.
To help ensure existing clients' quality of user experience, the company’s ZoneFlex APs can now implement a capacity-based client access control algorithm to decline connection requests from new clients, which allows organizations to protect the user experience during periods of heavy load.
Leveraging the 802.11v standard, directed roaming helps to ensure the overall quality of user experience for the entire wireless local area network (WLAN) by directing clients toward another WiFi access point that can provide a better user experience.
If a signal falls below user-definable signal strength (RSSI) or throughput thresholds, Ruckus ZoneFlex APs can automatically provide a list of alternative access points and request the client to move to a closer AP.
In addition, WiFi Multimedia (WMM) admission control improves the performance of Smart WiFi networks for real time voice and video services by preventing over-subscription of bandwidth.
By requiring clients to request a specific amount of bandwidth before connecting to a given Ruckus ZoneFlex AP, bandwidth management on each AP now takes into account network load and channel connections before allowing clients to connect.
"By focusing and adapting WiFi signals over the best performing signal path, clients can connect at higher data rates, spending less time contending for access to the WiFi medium," Callisch explained.
This reduces contention for the RF channel and the likelihood of collisions (increased jitter), frame loss, or packet retransmissions (increased latency) by dynamically adjusting the antenna pattern for each and every packet transmitted.
"Ultimately WiFi calling services will also be a huge benefit to the general public who want to be able to maximize the high capacity that WiFi offers with the potential of reducing their cellular phone bills," Callisch said.
Available throughout 2015, the Smart WiFi software innovations for carrier-class WiFi Calling are being embedded within the company’s Smart WiFi firmware, supported by Ruckus ZoneDirector Smart WLAN controllers, the Ruckus SmartCell Gateway (SCG) and virtual SmartCell Gateway (vSCG), and ZoneFlex Smart WiFi access points, at no additional cost to customers.

“Hyper-Fi” Teased to Drive $10 stock
WHAT'S THE SOLUTION TO THE LATEST OXFORD CLUB TEASE?
Posted on February 2, 2015 by Travis Johnson, Stock Gumshoe
This one caught the attention of several readers over the weekend, with lots of those 4,000% and 5,000% attention-getting numbers that make you dream of yachts and private planes… and, as luck would have it, one of our fantastic readers sent in a quick nicely-rounded look at it along with his solution, so I can share that with you in a moment, trying to make this speedy so we can get it out before we lose power as Winter Storm Linus blankets us with snow.
Heh heh. Sorry, that blanket pun is courtesy of Mrs. Gumshoe. We’re all stuck here together in a weather lockdown on Gumshoe Mountain and getting a little punchy. I’m guessing it it will be a while before the plows can even make it to our driveway… and presumably the plow drivers are all a little hung-over from celebrating the Super Bowl last night.
So what’s that ad? It’s from the Oxford Club in an ad for their basic membership and subscription to The Communique, and they’re talking up the crisis of “too much data” …
“‘Hyper-Fi’
“The Only Solution to the Devastating $1.5 Trillion Wi-Fi Shortage Coming to the Internet
“Only one company owns a monopoly on this patented technology
“Research proves the demand for this market will soon surge 5,400%
“Here’s why I calculate this $10 stock will will see revenues rise 4,445% along with it.”
The “overwhelmed wireless networks” spiel has certainly been used before, to justify everything from the cell tower companies (AMT and the like) to Qualcomm (QCOM) to various technology stocks that claim an edge on speeding up the internet or the mobile networks, or the devices that connect to these networks. It seems very unlikely that there’s one solution, or that one standard developed by a little company will dominate the solution… but, well, hope springs eternal. S
Some more hype and clues if you’re playing along at home:
“… by 2020, research shows each person will own at minimum 50 Internet-connected gadgets… maybe even more!
Irregulars Quick Take
Paid members get a quick summary of the stocks teased and our thoughts here. Join as a Stock Gumshoe Irregular today (already a member? log in at top right)“The GSM Association estimates connecting nearly 25 billion devices by 2020, while Cisco and Ericsson think we will hit 50 billion….
“The current wireless system can’t handle it all.
“And very soon, we’re going to run out of capacity.
“You may have experienced some of the early consequences already…
Not being able to make a phone call when you’re at a sporting event or airport…
Internet that comes to a grinding halt when you get more than two computers on one network…
Interruptions and dropped signals when you are watching videos online…
Picking up someone else’s radio in your car…
Or when, just for example, you’re chugging away at work on a snow day and the rest of the house us full of people watching Netflix streams on mobile devices.
So what’s the solution? Well, of course there we come to our “one small company” ….
“A humble company out of California has created – and perhaps more importantly, patented – a type of supersignal…
“It’s a next-level version of Wi-Fi we like to call ‘Hyper-Fi.’
“And what it does is quite remarkable…
“Think of it like the difference between a TV antenna and cable.
“With a TV antenna, there are all kinds of distortions. Signals get crossed. Energy outlets like microwaves warp the reception. Everything has to be perfect for it to work right.
“With cable, you get your own direct signal that ensures a constant, clear signal.
“Hyper-Fi works the same way. It uses a focused ‘dynamic’ beam to give users a powerful signal unlike anything offered in the current wireless world. It’s like having an ‘invisible wire’ going straight to your device.”
And…
“As the lone holder of this patented technology, this company has more customers coming in than it can handle.”
So that sounds kinda exciting. How about a few more specific clues to get us to the name of the stock?
“… we calculate the wireless market is going to swell to $1.5 trillion by 2020.
“For the moment, Cisco gets the lion’s share of that figure.
“But it doesn’t have the patented Hyper-Fi technology this company owns.
“Consider… the company behind Hyper-Fi only went public in 2012. And it’s already nipping at Cisco’s heels….
“… this is a $900 million company… with about $330 million in revenue….
“In the most recent quarter, net income soared 151%. Gross margins are near 70%.
“And quarterly earnings growth is already up a mind-blowing 6,135% year over year.
“And yet the stock still trades for only $10 because it is just getting off the ground floor with this technology.”
Now, yes, the Thinkolator can get a solution to this one for you too — but an alert reader sent in his own summary of the stock over the weekend, and I checked and he’s right about the stock, so I’ll let him sum it up for you since I haven’t researched the company yet… this following in italics comes from a reader, Tom, who’s been with us since the very beginning of Stock Gumshoe (that was way back in 2007, if you’re curious):
IT APPEARS this is Ruckus Wireless, Inc.(RKUS), which meets the criteria IPO 2012, (near) $10/sh., market cap $891M ~ $900M. The company is a carrier-class Wi-Fi access provider, as seen Yahoo! http://finance.yahoo.com/q/pr?s=RKUS+Profile
Caught my curiosity, so did some digging and thought I’d pass it along. Couldn’t match up the astounding earnings growth referenced, though growth appears solidly above value having a very low PEG, with 2014 earnings average estimate of $0.44 (which provides for a PE of 24) and 2015 of $0.60 (December), giving it a growth rate of 36 (0.6/0.44-1)*100, or valuation 50% below growth. So in 1 year will it be 50% higher, or ~$15/sh.?
Zacks gives it a 2 “buy”.
GuruFocus does not seem to support the Yahoo data, suggesting to me a lower value.
If RKUS is in a range, it is currently at the bottom of it and so would be worth looking for a buy entry. Looking back more than a year, RKUS tends to move up 2 to 3 weeks prior to earnings, then pull back. It has already moved up the last 2 weeks. The earnings are due out in 2 more, on 2/10/15.
Back to Travis now — Tom’s right about it being Ruckus that’s touted by the Oxford Club folks… it is posting those numbers, it is a fairly young company, it trades for about 25X current-year earnings and analysts think it’ll grow earnings at 15-20% in the future… and it has beaten earnings estimates handily for four quarters in a row but still has a pretty moribund share price, so I have no idea what will happen when they report earnings a week from tomorrow.
Will rush this out to you now in case I lose power, so discuss among yourselves — any hope for RKUS? Dreams of lucre? Snorts of skepticism? Let’s hear it, just use the friendly little comment box below.

RKUS
I really appreciate the information. The sells make much more sense now given this information. I won't joke about being "Kished" again, etc.
The sells definitely impact the pps but obviously some investors look beyond them as evidenced today by Ruckus' strong EOD performance on a down overall market excepting the Nasdaq which RKUS seems to follow.
RKUS
There's quite a bit of info if you're inclined to google around. Here's a couple Q&A's from one site. These 10b 5-1 trading plans are very common.
How are trading dates determined under a Rule 10b5-1 plan?
Rule 10b5-1(c)(1)(iii)(C) defines “date” as, in the case of a market order, the specific day of the year on which the order is to be executed (or as soon thereafter as is practicable under ordinary principles of best execution). In the case of a limit order, “date” is defined as a day of the year on which the limit order is in force.
How often can trades be made pursuant to a Rule 10b5- 1 plan?
A plan can be tailored to the specific needs of the individual who sets it up. For example, the plan can specify that trades will be made on a regular basis, such as monthly or bi-weekly. Alternatively, a Rule 10b5-1 plan can be designed to initiate transactions upon certain trigger events. For example, a plan can provide for sales several days before a tuition payment is due, with the number of shares to be linked to the average cost of tuition as published by the college.
http://media.mofo.com/files/Uploads/Images/FAQ10b51.pdf
Yes, that is good information. Most are listed by Nasdaq as automatic, indirect and are reasonably regular. < http://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/rkus/insider-trades > As you note if you look carefully at the form you see the RULE 10B5-1. I suspect most sophisticated and institutional investors note this, but the more casual see "SELL":
http://www.analystratings.net/stocks/NASDAQ/RKUS/
Tweets, blogs and comments are "insider sells", etc. creating negative optics. Seems to me that the pps always goes down following these reports. Also seems only temporary, but sure can halt a good trend.
I see the rationale for such requirements and suppose Kish wishes he could have sold more months ago. I wonder if they can temporarily override a sale? For example Lo hasn't sold for a while.
RKUS
FWIW, I don't look at each and every filing, but the footnotes often indicate the sells are due to pre-established trading plans under rule 10b5-1 ... which allows major holders "to sell a predetermined number of shares at a predetermined time. 10b5-1 plans are used by many corporate executives in an attempt to avoid accusations of insider trading."
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'RULE 10B5-1'
It is not uncommon to see a major holder sell some of his/her shares at regular intervals. For example, a director of XYZ Corporation may choose to sell 5,000 shares of stock on the second Wednesday of every month. To avoid conflict, 10b5-1 plans must be established when the individual is unaware of any material non-public information.
There IPO had 74.3 million shares outstanding.
Now it's 84.2 million outstanding.
Stock based compensation for 9 mos 2014 was $ 18.9 mil. $ 19 mil in 2013 and $ 8.4 mil in 2012.
Plenty more to come, another 29 mil shares are in the bonus plan.
Wondered why it dropped at the EOD -- poor performance when the market did so well. Thought with the Google WIFI news this might jump on speculation. However, anyone knowing the insider sells would say that anything between Google and Ruckus must be weak or insiders would be holding on.
Just cannot reconcile all the sells. Any hypotheses?
RKUS
More insider selling.
Never ending.
Another piece of the Google/Ruckus puzzle:

______________________________________
Ruckus Wireless may be known for building big outdoor hotspot systems and installing Wi-Fi networks covering office buildings and hotels, but on Wednesday it’s officially making its move into the small business market. And probably not coincidentally, Ruckus is launching its small business products as Google preps its own business Wi-Fi services that use — you guessed it — Ruckus gear.
Today Ruckus unveiled a new line of Wi-Fi access points targeted at workspaces with less than 100 employees. Unlike other business networks that require controllers on site or in cloud, Ruckus’s can be set up and managed from a smartphone app.
Ruckus is calling its new line of access points Xclaim, and it’s targeting that nether region between consumer Wi-Fi and full-bore business wireless networks that has long been neglected by networking companies, Ruckus VP and Xclaim general manager Rob Mustarde told me in a recent visit to Gigaom’s offices.
The Xclaim Xi-1 802.11n access point will retail for $89, but more powerful access points will range upwards to $399 (source: Ruckus Wireless)
The Xclaim Xi-1 802.11n access point will retail for $89, but more powerful access points will range upward to $399.
Typically small businesses have had to rely on consumer routers they buy off the shelves at a big box retailer and configure not much differently than you would a home Wi-Fi network. Meanwhile, enterprises are investing not just in access points but expensive controllers, software and IT staff to manage and secure networks with hundreds of nodes.
All of the big networking vendors like Cisco Systems (through its acquisition of Meraki) and Aruba Networks and new startups like Aerohive are now targeting the small-medium business (SMB) with new cloud-based Wi-Fi networking systems. But there is a big difference between a small business and medium business, and according to Mustarde, there are few options out there for an office network of 10 access points or less.

But Mustarde said Ruckus believes it can find a happy middle ground where a small office can set up a network as easily as it would a home router, but still take advantage of some more sophisticated enterprise features. Key to that strategy is Harmony, the iOS and Android app that acts as the controller for the network.
“We wanted to provide a really simple solution,” Mustarde said. “Everyone has a smartphone in their pocket, and if you’re a network manager you don’t want to have to go to a computer every time you want to deal with an issue.”
From the app you can configure multiple access points, set up multiple public and private networks and monitor all of the devices connecting to them. That’s all pretty standard stuff, but Mustarde said the app and Xclaim access points have several capabilities you’re not going to find on any consumer router. For instance, Harmony has traffic prioritization settings that can sniff out VoIP and video traffic and open up a fast lane for those packets across the network. Or Harmony can manage clogged conditions on the network, ensuring faster 802.11n and ac devices don’t have to wait in line behind older 802.11b and g devices while they finish their downloads.

The Harmony App (source: Ruckus)
Mustarde wouldn’t comment on or confirm Ruckus’s partnership with Google, which I learned about in May from a source close to the deal. He did, however, say that Xclaim would be an ideal hardware platform on which a company like Google or Facebook could build a cloud-managed Wi-Fi network. Facebook is already working with Cisco Systems to develop business Wi-Fi networks that would use Facebook ID as a universal credential.
Google’s plans, however, appear to be a bit more ambitious than just managing logins and collecting data on Wi-Fi users. According to The Information — which broke the original story about Google’s Wi-Fi plans — Google plans to subsidize and manage local businesses’ Wi-Fi networks in exchange for using their access points as part of a larger virtual network accessible to Google users. I learned from my source that Google plans to handle the mammoth task of managing those myriad nodes through access points and cloud-based controllers supplied by Ruckus.
Given that description, the way Xclaim is configured today wouldn’t be of much use to Google – it needs to manage multiple thousands of access points from a data center, not a dozen routers from an Android app. But with some tweaks Xclaim could easily become the network equipment behind Google’s business Wi-Fi service. Mustarde told me the next step for Ruckus is to build tablet apps for Xclaim, but in 2015 it plans to launch a cloud management platform for the product line.

In April, Ruckus unveiled its new Smart Wi-Fi Access Management Service, which shifts local network infrastructure--such as WLAN controllers, authentication servers, captive portals, advertising engines and content filtering--into the cloud, a move the company claims will enable businesses to more quickly and easily roll out public Wi-Fi hotspots. It could let customers more easily deploy Wi-Fi access points by putting them onto the same virtualized network."

Analyst Sees 4 Top Enterprise Technology Stocks as Q4 Sales Winners
By Lee Jackson January 15, 2015 10:20 am EST
The disappointing retail sales numbers for December have put a huge damper on what was already a teetering market. While retail may be a touch slower than expected, value-added-reseller (VAR) for the fourth quarter is showing that some of the top enterprise tech companies may have had a very solid selling period. A new report from the analysts at Stifel focuses on stocks that may see price movement as a result.

Ruckus Wireless' : predictions for Wi-Fi in 2015
01/15/2015 | 01:09am US/Eastern
We now live in a data-centric, wireless world, and no technology is better suited to address this reality than Wi-Fi, says Ruckus Wireless...
In fact, global hotspot* numbers are expected to grow to more than 340 million - that's nearly one hotspot for every 20 people on Earth by 2018. That compares to one Wi-Fi hotspot for every 150 people today.
"The smartphone revolution continues to remake the wireless landscape as users in all geographies and all socio-economic groups flock to these devices that can do so much more than place a voice call," says Michael Fletcher, sales director for Ruckus Wireless sub-Saharan Africa. "What's more, efforts to solve the roaming issues, such as through Hotspot 2.0, are making the roaming experience more like cellular - which ultimately means more uptake, ease of use and convenience."
As a result, Wi-Fi in many ways is fast becoming a utility. It's like running water or electricity - you expect it to be there, and if you don't have it, you are at a serious quality-of-life disadvantage.
Looking into 2015, Ruckus believes the state of the Wi-Fi industry continues to look positive and here's what the company thinks we're likely to see globally and in Africa.
Predictions for Wi-Fi in Africa
- 2015 will hail in more public Wi-Fi. The requirement is growing across public venues, stadiums and general consumer areas and this demand will likely be driven more by social media this year as consumers require more and more access. Social media driven Wi-Fi models will be free in some form or another as the freemium model will likely be used to drive uptake.
- The public sector will continue to see the benefits that Wi-Fi can bring, and rather than just allocating budgets to a single venue or geographic area, we are likely to see an increase in entire towns and cities that are looking to get connected. Huge strides have already been made in Tshwane, for example, and we are likely to see an increase in connected city initiatives in Cape Town and Johannesburg - not to mention African countries including Uganda, Kenya and Rwanda.
- Wi-Fi calling will come to the fore and it's definitely going to be a game changer in terms of service provider business models. With 'just Wi-Fi enabled' phones being launched and automatic connection to Wi-Fi becoming easier, the last piece of the puzzle - voice calls over Wi-Fi - is imminent. We are entering a 'Wi-Fi first' movement as more and more mobile devices automatically sign onto Wi-Fi first, and fall back to 3G or LTE only if Wi-Fi connectivity is not available or usable.
- Premium Wi-Fi smartphones - While the dominant market share of leading smartphone vendors such as Apple and Samsung is not quite at the same level in Africa as it is in developed countries, it's still interesting to see how their products need to diversify for emerging markets. As such, if you look at vendors such as Republic Wireless, who offer unlimited talk and text over Wi-Fi for $5 per month, it would seem highly probable that the premium cellphone vendors will look to develop Voice over Wi-Fi enabled phones at a lower entry point for emerging markets.
Predictions for the Enterprise
- 2015 will be the year of 802.11ac. Now that the consumer market and handhelds with 802.11ac technology are common, enterprises, workplaces, organisations and schools are rushing to support it. The adoption of consumer 802.11ac smart devices combined with the continued growth of BYOD is forcing organisations to migrate to 11ac-supported Wi-Fi infrastructure sooner rather than later.
- Monetising the WLAN has traditionally meant charging for WLAN usage. Today, organisations have the option to add services such as analytics, location, advertising, and marketing as new forms of monetisation. These services can greatly benefit the organisation or business to better understand basic things such as WLAN trends, customer movement, and demographics. We will see continued growth of these new ways to monetise Wi-Fi infrastructure investments in 2015.
- The never-ending drive to cut costs in data centres by reducing real estate and facilities expenses continues to drive the demand for virtualisation. For wireless, virtualisation provides another level of resiliency that is tied into the data centre high availability model. Virtualisation also lowers the CAPEX for many technologies, which opens the doors for managed services.
- The cloud will continue to provide Value Added Resellers (VARs) with easy-to-deploy services to customers that prefer 'wireless as a service.' Small businesses will be able to receive enterprise technology such as location-based services (LBS) and secure guest access.
- Hotspot 2.0 based technology (e.g., Passpoint) will continue to be adopted by vertical markets that provide public Wi-Fi access such as hospitality and transportation, as well as general enterprises. With Hotspot 2.0, more and more customers will be able to seamlessly and securely roam on Wi-Fi networks.
Predictions for carriers/service providers
- Service Providers will accelerate their move into the Wi-Fi managed services market as a way to generate incremental revenue, strengthen their relationships with customers; up-sell other services, and set the stage for new offerings (including an LTE small cell service from the MNOs).
- Network Functions Virtualisation (NFV) will continue to sweep through the WLAN industry. This trend started in the spring when, for example, Ruckus announced the virtual SmartCell Gateway (vSCG), and it continues to pick up steam. It requires a significant operational change for Service Providers, but the economics of virtualisation are very compelling.
- Wi-Fi Calling will start to become important in 2015 thanks to support from Apple. This technology (3GPP IR-92) will drive even greater amounts of smartphone traffic onto Wi-Fi networks, and will fundamentally alter the MNO business model. Wi-Fi Calling will also kill the femtocell market.
- Cable MSOs will accelerate their broad-based Wi-Fi rollouts as a way to keep their subscribers happy and make them much less likely to churn. Cable MSOs in all parts of the world now view Wi-Fi as strategic to their businesses.
- 2015 will be the year in which we see large scale Hotspot 2.0 roaming consortiums begin to form, primarily around large Cable MSOs. These consortiums will knit together the islands of connectivity that constantly surround us into one seamless and secure network experience.
- 802.11ac Wave 2 will be the next Wi-Fi standard for service providers and it will roll-out in 2015. It introduces multi-user multiple-input and multiple-output (MU-MIMO), which allows a Wi-Fi access point to talk to more than one user at a time.
- Home-spots will become a standard offering from wireline providers worldwide. This approach will dramatically increase Wi-Fi footprint and thus increase the utility of these offerings.
- The LTE Small Cell market will continue to develop very slowly as the industry struggles with business model issues around who pays for indoor deployments. Most of the excitement around LTE small cells has focused on the indoor market as that is where the people are, but the economics point toward venues having to pay for these deployments. That seems unlikely without a neutral host LTE small cell.
- LTE in the unlicensed bands (aka LTE-U) generated lots of discussion in 2014. The technology will be a success IF 3GPP implements Listen-Before-Talk so as to be a good neighbour for Wi-Fi. 2015 will see significant progress in this direction.
"The bottom line is that Wi-Fi is the perfect solution for the data challenges that are coming from a worldwide infatuation with, and insatiable demand for, more and better wireless data services of all types - 2015 will mark the perfect wireless storm," concludes Fletcher.

Lamar University Causing a Ruckus on Campus with New Ultra Fast 802.11ac Smart Wi-Fi Infrastructure
SUNNYVALE, Calif., Jan. 13, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
Ruckus Wireless, Inc. (NYSE: RKUS) today announced that Lamar University, a member of the Texas State University System, and one of the fastest growing universities in Texas, has selected Ruckus Smart Wi-Fi products and technology for a massive campus-wide Wi-Fi infrastructure upgrade that brings reliable, super high speed wireless connectivity to thousands of students, faculty, staff and visitors.
Lamar's Smart Wi-Fi infrastructure is based on the new 802.11ac Wi-Fi standard and will provide pervasive coverage and gigabit-class performance to nearly 15,000 users across some 64 buildings and outdoor green spaces within Lamar's 270-acre campus.
The new 802.11ac Wi-Fi network is enabling Lamar University to securely connect tens of thousands of mobile and wireless devices being used on campus, while allowing university faculty to incorporate a wide range of education technologies and enhanced collaboration into their academic programs.
"It has become very clear that our faculty and students want to infuse the use of technology into the educational learning experience and better Wi-Fi was at the top of the list," said Pricilla Parsons, vice president of Information Technology at Lamar University. "Our users needed faster and more stable access to coursework, e-books, video and other digital curriculum tools that enrich the educational process, and our existing wireless network simply couldn't support the new levels of technology being put in place."
It is widely understood that the quality of the student computing experience has become an important decision factor for students in selecting a college. In the 2014 Campus Computing Survey, the largest continuing study of the role of computing and information technology in American higher education, senior IT officers identified "implementing and supporting mobile computing" as the top IT priority, while only 17 percent rate mobile services at their institution as "excellent."
"Given today's higher education environment, having a carrier-class Wi-Fi infrastructure is an indispensable tool for delivering a 21st century education and is also critical for recruiting a new generation of tech savvy students that now expect a world-class online experience," said Parsons. "From an IT perspective, our focus has always been to deploy the right technology, for the right purpose, at the right price. The innovations Ruckus has made to transform Wi-Fi from a technology of convenience into a reliable utility is helping us achieve this vision."
According to Lamar's IT staff, the ability to deliver reliable and robust Wi-Fi connectivity across the campus has been challenging, given the diverse make up of buildings on campus. That diversity includes everything from laboratories and large high-capacity auditoriums, theaters and classrooms, to soundproofed music halls and older historic cinder block and concrete structures.
"Lamar has a mixture of almost every environment you can imagine, so getting Wi-Fi to work and work well on such a large scale has been a daunting task," said Patrick Stewart, director of IT Computing Infrastructure at Lamar University. "The challenge we have now is to deliver the Wi-Fi density, connectivity and coverage required to adequately accommodate the multiplicity of smart mobile devices and online applications that students are using, virtually everywhere, on campus."
Enter Pervasive Performance Across Campus with Smarter Wi-Fi
Lamar has seen the number of wireless users and devices on the network more than double over the last year. Its legacy network has struggled to support the higher densities and deliver the reliable connectivity and pervasive performance required by a growing population of sophisticated users now armed with multiple Wi-Fi devices.
"Our students' personal devices are ubiquitous across campus, and if we aren't able to participate in our students' normal day-to-day lives with the technology they bring to bear, then we are going to be excluded from some very important engagement opportunities with them," Parsons said.
Consequently, Lamar is replacing its legacy, campus-wide network with indoor and outdoor Ruckus ZoneFlex™ Smart Wi-Fi 802.11ac access points (APs) across its entire campus. The APs are uniformly and centrally managed through redundant Ruckus ZoneDirector™ 5000 controllers within Lamar's data center. In addition, to better understand Wi-Fi usage and historical trends, Lamar has also deployed the Ruckus SmartCell™ Insight (SCI) platform to collect, analyze, parse, present, and store Wi-Fi data such as user traffic volumes, throughput, estimates of clients, access point and client traffic, and session information for years.
Lamar is also making use of Ruckus ZoneFlex 7731 long-range, 5 GHz Smart Wi-Fi point-to-point and point-to-multipoint bridges to deliver broadband bandwidth to buildings and strategic locations where running fiber was either not feasible and/or cost-prohibitive.
Lamar's new Smart Wi-Fi infrastructure is supporting a myriad of applications such as its Blackboard learning management system, wireless access to data projectors, guest access, and IP-based video security cameras in parking lots, as well as innovative in-class applications that increase student engagement.
Looking forward, Lamar sees more growth in the number and sophistication of mobile devices used on its new Ruckus Smart Wi-Fi infrastructure and is now well prepared to handle these new developments.
"With innovations like connected watches and other Wi-Fi wearables coming to market we must be able to easily scale capacity, coverage, and performance all at once," concluded Stewart. "We've actually seen concurrent client connections on a single Ruckus access point peak to 450 simultaneous users, as opposed to the legacy 50 to 70 users. This amazed us and gave us confidence that we are now poised to keep pace with the explosive demand for fast and reliable wireless connectivity anytime, anywhere."

Aruba -5.9% on JMP downgrade; Ruckus -2.5%
Jan 12 2015, 11:48 ET | About: Ruckus Wireless (RKUS) | By: Eric Jhonsa, SA News Editor Contact this editor with comments or a news tip
"Checks suggest that the steps Aruba Networks has taken to cut costs and optimize sales efficiency may have frustrated some of the sales organization, likely impacting sales execution," writes JMP's Erik Suppiger, downgrading the Wi-Fi equipment hardware vendor to Market Perform.The changes include "cutting compensation and raising sales targets for many of the top-performing sales people," something Suppiger thinks may have "impacted morale and demotivated some sales reps."His FQ2 and FQ3 estimates have been slightly lowered. Nonetheless, Suppiger still likes Aruba's product positioning, and (given heavy sales hiring) expects the company to "eventually work through" its current issues.Rival Ruckus (NYSE:RKUS) is following Aruba lower on a day the Nasdaq is down 0.6%. Aruba is close to its 52-week low of $16.05.

The SmartCell Gateway (SCG) 200 represents the first in a new category of scalable and versatile WLAN controllers with support for 3GPP compatible WLAN gateway functionality. It has been designed to eliminate the difficulties operators are experiencing with building and managing large-scale Wi-Fi RANs and integrating them into the mobile packet core. The latter is required for a truly scalable heterogeneous network (HetNet) deployment. Capabilities include:
The SCG-200 offers one of the industry's most scalable WLAN controller architectures, through a unique, dynamically scalable clustering model that maintains carrier-class availability and resiliency through N+1 redundancy and hot-swappable components. An SCG-200 cluster can support tens of thousands of Ruckus Smart Wi-Fi APs and hundreds of thousands of concurrent Wi-Fi subscribers, with an aggregate throughput of 20Gbps per 2RU's of rack space. The SCG's carrier-class element management system (EMS) can be integrated into an operator's central NMS via standard data exchange interfaces, providing feature-rich management of access points, such as RF management, load balancing, adaptive meshing and backhaul optimization.
The SCG 200 can provide Trusted WLAN Gateway functionality per 3GPP TS 23.402 (June 2012). Trusted WLAN Gateway functionality allows a Wi-Fi RAN to connect to a P-GW (or GGSN) in the mobile packet core over industry standard interfaces and using standard protocols like GTP and PMIP. This approach utilizes 802.1x/EAP for secure authentication and 802.11i for Wi-Fi airlink encryption. These protocols are supported on all smartphones, as they are required as part of the Wi-Fi Alliance's WPA2®-certification program. The SCG 200 can also directly interface with mobile packet core AAA or HLR/HSS systems for client authentication and policy setting.
The SCG 200 can also offload traffic directly to the Internet. This would usually be the case when the traffic is not SIM-based, and would not benefit from being backhauled to the mobile packet core. Examples here include tablets and laptops, which in most cases do not have cellular modems. Local breakout requires that selected services be performed at the SCG 200, most of which would normally be provided in the mobile packet core.
The SCG 200 provides an integrated carrier-class element management system (EMS) that can be used for rapid deployment and eliminates the need for separate and expensive management systems. The built-in EMS provides user-friendly full-fledged FCAPS support and can be easily integrated with existing OSS/BSS systems via a variety of interfaces ranging from traditional SNMP or CLI based interfaces to web programming friendly secure API based methods (RESTful JSON).
Site acquisition is always an issue when deploying small cells, and this is made much easier by integrating a small cell into a Wi-Fi access point as the latter is an operator neutral solution that is preferred by most site owners. The SC 8800 can also provide wireless backhaul using Wi-Fi technology in the 5 GHz band. Other capabilities include support for AC power, power-over-Ethernet, integrated GPS receiver, integrated spectrum analysis, BeamFlex adaptive antenna technology, and much more.
A key part of the Ruckus value proposition is our BeamFlex technology with integrated antennas, which steers RF energy toward the user that it is communicating with and away from all other AP's in close proximity. This increases the gain by as much as 6 dB and the interference mitigation by as much as 15 dB. The latter is essential in most high-density deployments where interference is almost always the limiting factor.
SmartCell 8800 access points can be centrally managed from the mobile packet core using the SmartCell Gateway 200, the industry's most scalable and versatile 3GPP compatible WLAN Gateway. The SCG 200 also supports capabilities like Hotspot 2.0 which will be essential in the rollout of carrier-class Wi-Fi solutions.
In the world of wireless LANs (WLANs), power and simplicity are like oil and water - they've just never mixed - until now.
Our Ruckus WLAN systems brings power and simplicity together for large-scale indoor deployments - along with all the requisite capabilities demanded:
What's more, Ruckus WLAN solutions combine one of the best centrally managed WLANs with jaw-dropping advances in intelligent RF routing and Smart Wi-Fi meshing. The result? One of the best WLAN products and technology that money can buy. Here are more bullets to mull over:
