Ruckus Wireless, Monday introduced a collection of new Smart Wi-Fi technology software innovations that address the growing demand for higher quality IP-based voice calling over Wi-Fi, better known as Wi-Fi Calling. These new Ruckus technology innovations are being integrated as standard features within the Ruckus portfolio of Smart Wi-Fi products, and are being embedded within Ruckus Smart Wi-Fi firmware, supported by Ruckus ZoneDirector Smart WLAN controllers, the Ruckus SmartCell Gateway (SCG) and virtual SmartCell Gateway (vSCG), and ZoneFlex Smart Wi-Fi access points.
According to Ruckus, these new technology innovations will be demonstrated by Ruckus for the first time at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain and have been successfully tested with two of the biggest mobile network operators (MNOs) in the United States. The new Ruckus Smart Wi-Fi innovations for Wi-Fi Calling address essential roaming and Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. The Ruckus Smart Wi-Fi innovations include a variety of new proprietary capabilities such as capacity-based client access control, Wi-Fi multimedia admission controls, directed roaming, and automatic packet flow heuristics. The integration of these and other new Smart Wi-Fi innovations into Ruckus products helps organizations ensure optimal performance of voice over Wi-Fi communications.

The innovations we’ve made will improve the reliability and quality of Wi-Fi Calling applications, which enables both service providers and enterprises to extract greater value from their Wi-Fi infrastructure. While voice over Wi-Fi isn’t new, the ability to deliver a carrier-class voice service over Wi-Fi is something that no one has mastered, until now.
