RUCKUS IoT Suite
Centralized Inventory Control of Your Converged RUCKUS Network

The RUCKUS IoT Suite is a collection of network hardware and software infrastructure components used to create a converged, multi-standard IoT access network.

• RUCKUS IoT-ready Access Points (APs)—Accommodate RUCKUS IoT Modules to establish multi-standards wireless access for Wi-Fi and non-Wi-Fi IoT endpoints.
• RUCKUS IoT Modules—Radio or radio-and-sensor devices that connect to a RUCKUS IoT-ready AP to enable endpoint connectivity based on standards such as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and Zigbee.
• RUCKUS SmartZone Controller—A network controller that provides a management interface for the WLAN.
• RUCKUS IoT Controller—A virtual controller, deployed in tandem with a RUCKUS SmartZone OS-based controller, that performs connectivity, device and security management functions for non-Wi-Fi devices, as well as facilitate disparate endpoint management coordination and APIs for northbound integration with analytics software and IoT cloud services

The RUCKUS IoT Module (I100) is a pluggable module that connects to a RUCKUS IoT-ready access point. The I100 provides IoT endpoint connectivity using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and Zigbee. I100 serves as a single connectivity point between disparate IoT devices using different protocols and a RUCKUS IoT-ready AP. The I100 IoT Module along with RUCKUS patented technologies coordinates frequency spectrum usage by automating channel selection so different radio-frequency standards can co-habitat intelligently and perform optimally. RUCKUS coordinates channel selection so Wi-Fi and Zigbee do not compete for the same channels.

Integrations with industry-leading operational technology (OT) and customer technology (CT) solution providers enable organizations to use the RUCKUS IoT Controller to establish cross-solution policy rules while easily allowing for the use of 3rd party analytics tools and services to increase IoT investment benefits.

The RUCKUS IoT Suite serves as the access network between IoT devices and their respective IoT management systems. By leveraging and extending the existing network infrastructure with multi-radio standards support, and multi-layered IoT security the RUCKUS IoT Suite can address a variety of IoT requirements.
