Technology
RUCKUS Wi-Fi 7
Purpose-built for enterprise environments that demand the most.
The next generation in Wi-Fi® technology will take your network to the next level
The Wi-Fi Alliance® new IEEE 802.11be standard defines Wi-Fi 7—and RUCKUS Networks defines a new level for your network. For enterprise, healthcare, education, large public venue and other environments, Wi-Fi 7 is your key to unlock a more efficient, secure and responsive network.
Wi-Fi 7’s extreme speeds, low latency, and increased capacity delivers exceptional user experiences and empowers an entirely new class of advanced connected devices and demanding applications. Need a way to manage 8K video streams, extended reality (XR) video conferencing, massive social gaming, and more? Wi-Fi 7 is the answer you’ve been waiting for—and RUCKUS brings it to life.
As the first to introduce an enterprise-class access point (AP) in the market and in the Wi-Fi Alliance test bed, RUCKUS is transforming the future of wireless networks. Our new Wi-Fi 7 solutions dramatically increase throughput, reduce latency and improve connection reliability.
And we're just getting started.
Benefits of RUCKUS Wi-Fi 7
Offers dramatically better throughput
RUCKUS Wi-Fi 7 solutions deliver massive throughput boosts over Wi-Fi 6 thanks to its wider channels and greater 6 GHz capacity gains. The result? Peak rates is up to four times the throughput of Wi-Fi 6.
Provides wireless link aggregation with MLO
Multi-link operation (MLO) uses multiple bands to simultaneously connect user devices and APs. Aggregating these discrete links significantly increases throughput, reduces latency and improves connection reliability.
Conquers interference
Preamble puncturing enables a Wi-Fi 7 AP to transmit a “punctured” portion of a channel if a portion of that channel spectrum is being used by legacy users. This feature allows Wi-Fi 7 to support the 320 MHz wide channel—twice the maximum width of Wi-Fi 6—without letting interference degrade performance.
Supports demanding low-latency applications
Deterministic latency is a critical need for advanced applications like augmented reality and virtual reality that can’t tolerate high latency levels. Wi-Fi 7 enhancements allow our Wi-Fi 7 APs to deliver much lower latency levels than Wi-Fi 6.
