Leading the Charge: RUCKUS’s Wi-Fi 7 Platform Sets New Interoperability Standards

March 5, 2024 by

The Wi-Fi Alliance has selected the RUCKUS R770 access point, part of the RUCKUS Wi-Fi 7 platform, for its Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 7™ interoperability certification test bed. As the only commercial access point in the test bed, the R770 will ensure unmatched interoperability and advanced performance for Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 7 devices globally.

This milestone cements RUCKUS’ position as an innovator and leader in campus networking. With the R770 at the forefront, RUCKUS continues to push boundaries and set new standards for wireless connectivity.

The Significance of Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 7

Wi-Fi 7, the newest generation of Wi-Fi, offers substantial improvements over previous versions:

  • Extreme multi-gigabit speeds exceeding 10 Gbps
  • Ultra-low latency under 5 milliseconds
  • Expanded capacity to support more concurrent devices
  • New 6 GHz spectrum for less interference

These capabilities open the door for advanced applications like 8K video streaming, multiplayer VR gaming, high-density IoT, and mission-critical services. Wi-Fi 7 delivers the reliable, high-performance wireless connectivity that these next-generation use cases demand. To realise Wi-Fi 7’s full potential, however, client devices and access points must seamlessly interoperate despite being from different vendors. This is where Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 7 comes in.

Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 7 guarantees complete interoperability through rigorous testing. The Wi-Fi Alliance’s certification program verifies that devices implement the latest IEEE 802.11be standard correctly and consistently. Passing these stringent tests is the mark of a well-engineered Wi-Fi 7 product. By contributing its R770 access point to the Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 7 test bed, RUCKUS plays a pivotal role in moving the entire Wi-Fi 7 ecosystem forward.

RUCKUS R770 Leads the Market in Wi-Fi 7 Innovation

The RUCKUS R770 isn’t just any Wi-Fi 7 AP. As one of the very first enterprise-class devices supporting the new standard, it packs best-in-class features and performance. This starts with blazing-fast wireless throughput reaching over 12 Gbps thanks to:

  • Support for 320 MHz-wide channels and 4K QAM modulation
  • 12 spatial streams across tri-band 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and new 6 GHz radios
  • Multi-gigabit 10 GbE backhaul

The R770 builds on this speed with RUCKUS’ patented BeamFlex+ antenna technology. Its adaptive antenna array automatically steers signals toward clients, maximising range and reliability. This lets the R770 maintain robust connections even in challenging deployment sites.

Rounding out the R770’s capabilities is RUCKUS AI cloud-based machine learning. RUCKUS AI gives administrators comprehensive visibility into network conditions, traffic patterns, and device health. Its advanced analytics and automation optimise Wi-Fi performance, troubleshoot issues proactively, and simplify management. With game-changing throughput and intelligence, the R770 delivers the uncompromising performance that Wi-Fi 7 demands. The R770 also epitomises RUCKUS’ spirit of trailblazing innovation.
