Sub-Saharan network security expert, AfricaSD, has become the official distributor of Ruckus Wireless. The partnership means that AfricaSD resellers will now have access to WiFi products and solutions that are easy to support and install into the small and medium business space.
“The partnership is an exciting one for AfricaSD because Ruckus Wireless is one of the best wireless solutions providers in the world,” enthuses Hennie Moolman, Managing Director of AfricaSD. “The company's range of Smart WiFi products, which marry innovative, enterprise-level wireless features with a plug-and-play philosophy designed to simplify installation, operation and support, will benefit our resellers and their customers tremendously.”
James Calderbank, Director of Enterprise Sales for Ruckus Wireless, confirms that the advantages of partnering with AfricaSD became immediately apparent when Moolman approached them earlier in the year. “AfricaSD's success and broad footprint is a result of the immense amount of support, leadership and expertise they provide their resellers,” he observes. “We want to expand into the sub-Saharan region and believe AfricaSD's experience and specialised focus in the network security space will complement our range of Smart WiFi solutions for businesses and general consumers.”
Ruckus Wireless covers the entire spectrum of wireless networking solutions. Its ZoneFlex range for wireless meshing WLANs includes 802.11n and 802.11g indoor and outdoor access points fitted with its patented BeamFlex technology. BeamFlex eschews traditional omni-directional wireless antennas in favour of a smart, compact antenna array with multiple elements that mitigates RF interference by dynamically determining the best path to a receiving device while simultaneously configuring its beam for omni-directional coverage.
Ruckus' ZoneDirector controllers allow small, medium and large enterprises to quickly set up WLANs and its range of software solutions includes the Smart/OS centralised WLAN software system and the FlexMaster Management System, a Linux-based managed service platform for configuration, fault detection, audit, and performance management of remote Smart WiFi access points and WLANs.
