RUCKUS Networks and Nokia Announce Early Access Availability for their Combined Solution—an Integrated Wi-Fi 7 and Fiber Optical LAN Solution

Key Terms

wi-fi 7 technical

Wi‑Fi 7 is the next generation of wireless networking technology that delivers much faster speeds, lower delay, and the ability to handle many more devices at once—think of it as a wider, smoother highway for internet traffic. It matters to investors because upgrades to phones, routers, smart-home gear, and business networks can drive hardware sales, service subscriptions, and demand for data-center or semiconductor capacity, affecting companies across the tech supply chain.

optical lan technical

A local area network that uses fiber-optic cables and light signals instead of traditional copper wiring to connect computers, servers and other devices within a building or campus. Think of it as replacing a two-lane road with a high-speed highway of light: it carries much more data over longer distances with lower power and simpler maintenance. Investors care because optical LANs can lower operating costs, support fast growth in data needs, and make facilities more competitive and future-proof, affecting both capital investment and ongoing expenses.

fiber technical

Fibers are the indigestible parts of plant-based foods—like cellulose, pectin and similar substances—that travel through the digestive system largely unchanged and support bowel regularity and other health effects. For investors, fiber matters because its presence determines nutrition labels, allowed health claims, product positioning and consumer demand, so it can affect a food company’s sales, pricing power and regulatory or legal risk; think of it as a product’s health badge.

open apis technical

Open APIs are publicly available software interfaces that let outside developers access a company’s data or services—like a standardized power outlet that lets many different devices plug in. For investors, they matter because they can speed product innovation, expand partnerships and customer reach, and create network effects that boost growth, while also raising considerations around security, data control and competitive dynamics.

RUCKUS Networks Wi-Fi 7 and Nokia optical LAN solution creates future-ready enterprise networks with significantly improved time to market, operational efficiency, and network visibility

RICHARDSON, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Vistance Networks (NASDAQ: VISN), a global provider of intelligent network solutions, today shared that RUCKUS^® Networks and Nokia announced early access availability to a combined solution, allowing customers to accelerate adoption of their integrated Wi-Fi 7 and Fiber Optical Lan Solution.

The combined RUCKUS Networks and Nokia optical-wireless LAN solution is managed end-to-end by the AI-driven RUCKUS One^® platform. Active trials with multiple Tier-1 providers across North America and Asia, demonstrate strong performance and operational benefits from the solution. These trials validate the architectural advantages of integrating Nokia’s Aurelis Optical LAN solution with RUCKUS Network’s cloud-managed AI operations solutions.

The integrated plug and play solution addresses a growing need for higher-bandwidth networks to meet the demands of increasing user density, low-latency real-time applications, and next-generation use cases, such as AI. The joint solution creates a robust, intelligent in-building network infrastructure that’s simple to manage and scale to the capacity demands needed to support next-generation services —simplifying operations and reducing power consumption and cost.

“The way enterprises connect is changing, and fiber is at the heart of that shift,” stated Sandy Motley, President of Fixed Networks at Nokia. “Deepening our partnership with RUCKUS Networks reflects a shared belief that businesses deserve connectivity that's reliable, future-ready, and built around their needs, not just for today, but for what comes next.”

Nokia Optical LAN + RUCKUS Networks Solutions

By integrating the latest Wi-Fi 7 access points with a future-ready Optical LAN foundation, businesses can modernize their networks today, scale to future needs, and realize numerous operational efficiencies for years to come.

Nokia’s Aurelis MF-2 optical switch and modems offer a compact, energy-efficient, high-capacity fiber-based solution for in-building and campus connectivity. Requiring significantly less space and power than traditional LAN, it reduces energy costs by up to 40% and total cost of ownership by 50%. Paired with RUCKUS Networks’ industry-leading cloud and wireless products, the combined solution delivers high-performance connectivity and enhanced network assurance to support mobility, IoT, and enterprise digital transformation. Using open APIs, Nokia’s Aurelis fiber solution easily integrates with RUCKUS One, an AI-driven network assurance and business intelligence platform.

The joint solution is intended to help telcos, cable operators, managed service providers and LAN providers offer fast, cost-efficient and premium LAN connectivity to diverse enterprise verticals.

“Nokia leads in fiber-based Optical LAN, and RUCKUS has the most complete and proven wireless solutions for enterprise,” stated Bart Giordano, SVP and president, RUCKUS Networks. “Together, our technologies are already deployed by more than a thousand enterprises globally, and we’re making it easier than ever for customers to quickly transform and effectively scale and manage their networks for the long run.”

RUCKUS Networks and Nokia will discuss their combined solution at the FTTH Conference in London, April 14-16.
