Ruckus Wireless Inc., a global supplier of advanced wireless systems for the mobile internet infrastructure market, today announced a new partnership with the world’s largest distributor of computer and technology products Ingram Micro Inc. to enable the distribution of Ruckus products and solutions across Southeast Asia through Ingram Micro’s network of resellers and partners.

The new partnership will enable enterprises, service providers, and small-to-medium-sized businesses (SMBs) to realise high performance, secure and intelligent enterprise-class mobility solutions in their organisations.

The partnership between Ruckus and Ingram Micro will involve the distribution of Ruckus products and solutions, including access points (APs), controller-less solutions, physical and virtual controllers, and smart wireless analytics and location based solutions in Southeast Asia.

In addition, Ruckus and Ingram Micro will jointly enable the development of Ruckus’ partner community.

Ingram Micro works with thousands of vendors, resellers and retail partners, customising and delivering technology solutions to businesses of all sizes around the world.

The company focuses on cloud, mobility, supply chain and technology solutions that enable businesses to operate more efficiently and successfully in the markets they serve.

Commenting on the partnership, Michael Lok, managing director, Southeast Asia, Ruckus Wireless, said, “As a global IT distributor with a strong presence across the Asia Pacific region, we believe Ingram Micro is an ideal partner as Ruckus expands into the enterprise and SMB markets. Ingram Micro’s extensive breadth of products and solutions, complemented by Smart Wi-Fi solutions from Ruckus, can help customers solve the challenges associated with realising high performance campus mobility.”

Through this collaboration, customers in Southeast Asia now have greater access to Ruckus Smart Wi-Fi technology, which includes BeamFlex™+ adaptive antenna technology that adapts to client device orientation and location, helping to ensure consistent wireless signal, and ChannelFlyTM dynamic channel management technology that assesses all available channels prior to the selection process, significantly improving capacity in congested environments.

The partnership also offers Southeast Asian customers a wider selection of mobility solutions specifically designed to meet their business needs.

The collaboration comes at a time of exponential growth in enterprise mobility driven by the growth in smartphones and other devices possessing Wi-Fi capabilities.

An IDC report highlights that companies across Asia Pacific (excluding Japan) have been increasing their investments in the area of mobility adoption, citing that more than 70 per cent of its survey respondents have some mobility initiatives in place within their organisations.

It is against this fast-moving backdrop that having access to secure and reliable Wi-Fi is increasingly crucial for driving productivity and fostering collaboration and communication amongst workers.

The collaboration between Ruckus and Ingram Micro covers Southeast Asian markets, which include Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.
