Overview

One platform. Every network. Every site.

Intuitive intent-based workflows enable expedited provisioning, management, and control of multiple access networks across multiple sites via a single pane of glass.

RUCKUS One takes the complexity out of deploying and managing your multi-access public and private enterprise network. Intuitive, intent-based workflows enable expedited provisioning, management, and control across multiple sites via a single pane of glass. Configure once, deploy everywhere — making it simple and intuitive to provision and manage your network with speed and accuracy.

RUCKUS One delivers purpose-driven networks by providing a range of capabilities across key industry verticals, focusing on meeting the specific needs of those industries. Whether it's managing guest experience for Hospitality or identity management tailored to Education, RUCKUS One delivers the features that matter most for your business.

With flexible subscription tiers and flexible deployment models, RUCKUS One enables you to deploy future-proof networks simply, reliably, securely, and at cloud-scale. A native mobile app lets you provision, manage, and monitor the whole network from anywhere. A complete RESTful API enables automation, custom dashboards, and third-party integrations including Ekahau and Hamina RF planning tools.

AI Engine

Autonomous Networking with IntentAI™

RUCKUS IntentAI is a network management framework focused on automation of functional objectives and goals, approved by the user and delivered through an easy, intuitive interface. Each feature, or intent, presents a binary choice with corresponding outcomes — explained in simple language along with the potential tradeoffs. Once the user executes an intent, RUCKUS' AI engine takes over and manages the action for as long as it remains active.

IntentAI learns the desired network behaviours and focuses on maintaining the optimal configuration to continuously meet required key performance indicators. The result is significant simplification of day-to-day network management through more powerful AIOps, explainable AI (XAI) in simple language, and a steady move toward autonomous network assurance — freeing human resources and lowering operational costs.

Platform Features & Capabilities

Core Platform
01

AI-Driven Network Assurance

RUCKUS AI monitors the network for service-affecting issues around the clock. Once an incident is identified, it is prioritised based on network impact and corrective actions are offered for remediation. Lowers both Mean-Time-to-Identification (MTTI) and Mean-Time-to-Recover (MTTR), saving troubleshooting time and minimising expensive network outages.

02

High Performance Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) and Wi-Fi 6(e) (802.11ax) APs with patented BeamFlex® and ChannelFly® technologies deliver better performance in challenging RF environments. Supports 30–50% more clients per AP than competitive solutions. AI-driven Radio Resource Management minimises co-channel interference. Full WPA2/WPA3 support including OWE and OWE Transition mode.

03

Multigigabit ICX Switching

Low-latency, non-blocking multigigabit RUCKUS ICX switches ensure excellent throughput for the most demanding applications. Zero-touch deployment and configuration with configuration templates. Unique stacking capabilities simplify management. Multigigabit, high-capacity PoE switching enables next-generation wireless deployment. ICX 7xxx and 8200 Series supported.

04

Secure Network Access & Policy Management

Secure network access for every user, every device, on any network. Workflow-driven support for BYOD, guest, and IT-owned devices including headless and IoT. Robust security policy engine with full visibility and control. Flexible enrollment management for highly customised device onboarding. Supports LDAP, SAML, Active Directory, 802.1X, DPSK, DPSK3, WPA2/WPA3, Cloudpath, and Hotspot 2.0.

05

Built-in Service Catalog

A built-in service catalog enables IT to easily extend the platform at the click of a button. Services include captive portal, DPSK, DHCP, syslog, SD-LAN, and more. Future expansion includes delivery of third-party services. MSP services such as Guest and Resident Portals are also available. RUCKUS Edge services integrate directly from the catalog.

06

Automatic Service Validation

Automatically validates service levels without overlay sensors. Access points act as virtual clients to identify possible service disruptions — often before they affect users. Tests include WLAN, LAN, and WAN connectivity; EAP, RADIUS, DHCP, and DNS validation; ping, traceroute, and upload/download speed tests. Define your own SLAs and measure against them.

07

Client Troubleshooting

Simple, flexible search and a holistic client troubleshooting page give a complete picture of client experience for connectivity and user experience diagnostics. Covers successful, slow and failed connections; disconnect events; roaming events and failed roams; connection quality (RSSI, MCS, client throughput); and network incidents affecting users. End-to-end client to AP to switch visibility with trace routing.

08

Business Insights & Reporting

Industry-specific KPI reports and customisable dashboards via Data Studio. Extensive report options including traffic reports by venue, AP, switch, SSID, and radio; application visibility; and unique client counts. Up to 12 months of stored data for long-term trending analysis (Professional tier). Real-time and historical client information, network health, and usage trends at a glance.

09

Zero-Touch Provisioning & Mobile App

Zero-touch AP and switch provisioning with bulk addition. Scheduled automatic firmware updates with per-venue AP firmware control and per-switch/stack firmware control. Native mobile app enables provisioning, management, and monitoring from anywhere — including barcode scanning to register devices, push notifications for network issues, and on-the-go captive portal customisation.

Licensing
