Ruckus Outperforms Major 802.11ac Manufacturers in Divergent Dynamics' Wireless LAN Video Performance TestSAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 18, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Ruckus, a part of Brocade, today announced it has once again outperformed four of its leading Wi-Fi competitors in a series of stress tests validated by Divergent Dynamics. Using mid-range 802.11ac access points (APs), the testing measured each AP's ability to simultaneously deliver video and data to 60 client devices. The results showed that the Ruckus R610 AP was the only tested AP able to maintain stall-free video delivery to each client when data traffic loading was simultaneously applied to the network. "The tests were conducted in a real-world, high client-density environment and carried out using industry best practices and each manufacturer's recommendations," said Devin Akin, founder and CEO of Divergent Dynamics. "In this environment, Ruckus APs delivered consistent stall-free video, outperforming five APs from four manufacturers, including two APs with higher performance specifications. The R610 was the only AP to meet real-world relevant test objectives and was nothing short of impressive." Video in the Enterprise About the Testing Test Results Business Implications "Ruckus is committed to ensuring the highest quality of experience for each user, regardless of traffic type," said Greg Beach, vice president of wireless products, Ruckus. "Video is becoming more prevalent in every WLAN environment and, in contrast to most types of data traffic, poor video delivery is immediately apparent to the end user. The Divergent Dynamics report is further testament to Ruckus' unique ability to ensure a great end-user Wi-Fi experience—without over-procuring—even under the most challenging of circumstances."
