In a surprising revelation, the ICX core platform family, initially developed by Foundry Networks two decades ago, remains a vital part of Ruckus today. Customers have stayed loyal to the ICX platform for years, and Ruckus has successfully introduced this portfolio to its existing customer base, merging Wi-Fi and campus networking seamlessly.
Ruckus has honed in on specific industries such as education, hospitality, manufacturing, and high-end residential sectors. Their latest focus is on commercial professional AV, aiming to streamline operations and enhance connectivity for a diverse range of clients.
One of the most innovative developments from Ruckus is the Pro AV ICX switches, designed to revolutionize air-gapped networks traditionally used for AV systems. By leveraging software-driven convergence, these switches automatically identify AV protocols, apply quality-of-service policies, and manage traffic patterns effectively, eliminating the need for separate physical networks and reducing infrastructure costs significantly. This cutting-edge technology ensures seamless integration of AV systems into existing networks without compromising performance or security.
