Ruckus Wireless has unveiled a suite of four new Smart Wi-Fi mobile applications that will greatly assist system integrators, value-added resellers and network administrators in conducting site surveys and wireless LAN (WLAN) performance tests, as well as remotely monitoring Ruckus Smart WLAN environments and conducting performance comparisons between Ruckus and third-party Wi-Fi access points.
Developed by Ruckus, this suite of Smart Wi-Fi mobile applications includes the SpeedFlex, S.W.A.T., Zapper and ZD Remote apps, and each are available now at no cost on the Apple iTunes App Store and other online outlets.
“Anyone who has ever deployed a wireless network of any size clearly understands how difficult it can be to optimize Wi-Fi performance and coverage. We wanted to radically simplify this process with tools that are intuitive to use and understand, and which offer a compelling value in the data they deliver,” said Rob Mustarde, VP of Marketing for Ruckus Wireless.
With the new Ruckus Smart Wi-Fi mobile applications, network managers are now able to determine where to best place Wi-Fi access points (APs) for optimal coverage and performance. In addition, users can use these Ruckus tools, such as Zapper, as a mechanism for making statistically valid performance comparisons between different vendor systems, with the ability to view all the comparative performance data on the same screen.
