Thapar Univ Standardises On Ruckus Wireless' Wi-Fi

Ruckus Wireless, has announced that Thapar University, an engineering and technology institution in north India, has standardised on next generation Wi-Fi products and technology from Ruckus Wireless.

Thapar University is taking advantage of Ruckus-patented Dynamic Pre-Shared Key (PSK) technology to offload network administrators from configuring thousands of client devices. This eliminates IT staff from having to manually configure end users devices while maintaining a high level of Wi-Fi security.

"We ran a series of trials with many renowned vendors, but found the Ruckus beamforming technology remarkable in its performance and reliability," said Dr. Maninder Singh, Ph.D, Associate Professor, Computer Science and Engineering Department of Thapar University. "Ruckus simply delivered better range and coverage the minute we powered it up. Ruckus APs delivered jitter-free multicast IP video streams across many walls far away from the access point. Also the Ruckus solution required fewer access points compared to others which helped us allay budget concerns."

"In the face of an increasingly noisy Wi-Fi environment, without explicit control over the transmission path, it’s impossible to properly support real-time multimedia streaming over Wi-Fi," said Sudarshan Boosupalli, General Manager, Ruckus Wireless, India. "Ruckus products and technology solve these reliability issues by extending signal range and reducing packet loss to enable consistent and predictable performance wherever the user is roaming."
