David Stephenson Joins RW As Senior Principal Engineer

Ruckus Wireless (RW) has announced the appointment David Stephenson as Senior Principal Engineer within its System Architecture group.

Prior to joining Ruckus, Stephenson worked at Cisco Systems for nearly 14 years within its Wireless Networking Business Unit and worked on both the Wi-Fi Alliance Hotspot 2.0 Specification as well as the Mobility Services Advertisement Protocol (MSAP).

 Stephenson said, “One of the things that drew me to Ruckus is their industry commitment to helping make Wi-Fi easier to use – for both subscribers and service providers. I am equally gratified to have been retained as chair of the Hotspot 2.0 Technical Task Group, allowing me to continue leading the group’s vital work that helps realize the Wi-Fi Alliance vision of seamless connectivity.”

 “In the networking world, having Dave join Ruckus Wireless is like signing LeBron James. His background and experience give Ruckus invaluable insight and skills for taking Wi-Fi where it’s never been before.  As a major proponent of the Hotspot 2.0 initiative, Ruckus continues to accelerate further industry adoption of Wi-Fi by service providers. Dave will play a critical role in driving this effort” said Steve Martin, Senior VP of Engineering, Ruckus Wireless.
