Nokia has announced a collaboration with RUCKUS Networks, a CommScope business, to create an innovative solution for deploying seamless in-building and campus-wide connectivity, uniquely tailored to the needs of diverse industry verticals. This partnership offers an integrated fibereand Wi-Fi solution for delivering broadband service inside MDUs, offices, large venues, hospitality, medical facilities and other enterprise segments.

Fibre is a game changer for campus and in-building connectivity due to its ability to offer future-proof capacity while significantly reducing power consumption and total cost of ownership. In addition to providing a single network for all services, it is essential to connect Wi-Fi access points. The combination of fibre and Wi-Fi delivers robust and scalable connectivity across mobility, IoT, and digital transformation initiatives.

This joint solution combines Nokia’s fibre-based Optical LAN with RUCKUS Network’s enterprise Wi-Fi and switching solutions, creating an integrated infrastructure.

Jaimie Lenderman, Principal Analyst for Broadband Access at Omdia, said: “As broadband access demands continue to grow, this partnership exemplifies the potential of aligning like-minded objectives to deliver fiber-based solutions that can support the diverse network requirements across a variety of industries and verticals.”

Bart Giordano, SVP and president, Networking Intelligent Cellular Security Solutions, CommScope, commented: “The partnership between Nokia and RUCKUS Networks will change the economics for the in-campus connectivity solutions for enterprise and vertical segments. As a single solution, we can now provide everything needed to quickly establish a LAN that can deliver fast, reliable, and secure broadband access services. It will also allow us to future-proof their networks and ensure the next generation of value-added services can be delivered easily.”

Sandy Motley, President of Fixed Networks at Nokia, added: “Fibre is a fantastic technology with a wide range of benefits. As an Optical LAN, it can reduce energy costs by 40 per cent and TCO by as much as 50 per cent. When combined with RUCKUS’s industry-leading Wi-Fi portfolio, we are creating a campus connectivity solution that will allow enterprises to grow their business, reduce their costs and be more sustainable.”
