Taking place at the RioCentro Exhibition and Convention Center now through October 24th, the network will again be a critical backbone for exhibitors, speakers and attendees.

Link Solution, a Ruckus partner that handles telecommunications operations in the largest convention centers in Brazil, is again managing the Ruckus Smart Wi-Fi network at Futurecom. "As we said last year, there are no better Wi-Fi solutions on the market than Ruckus technology, and Futurecom show organizers and attendees certainly agree with us," said André Botelho, commercial director for Link Solution. "We manage some of the largest wireless networks in Brazil, and Ruckus consistently has proven itself in large, high-density venues like RioCentro—it really is 'simply better wireless,' and we know the thousands of show attendees will again enjoy a great user experience."

The Ruckus Smart Wi-Fi network at RioCentro consists of 75 Ruckus ZoneFlex™ access points (APs), featuring the Ruckus ZoneFlex 7363 802.11n indoor dual-band AP, all centrally managed with Ruckus ZoneDirector™ 3000 Series controllers.

Ruckus ZoneFlex APs feature patented BeamFlex™ adaptive antenna technology that maximizes signal coverage, throughput, and network capacity, and ensures high performance in tough, high-density operating environments like RioCentro. The BeamFlex software continually adapts to environments like RioCentro with all its physical obstacles and unpredictable radio frequency (RF) conditions, numerous communicating devices, network performance issues, and application flows. Then, it selects the optimum antenna pattern for each communicating device in real time, while minimizing noise to nearby networks and devices.

Ruckus Smart Wi-Fi solutions are increasingly becoming the wireless technology of choice in Latin America, deployed throughout Brazil in stadiums, hotels, warehouses, and schools, providing reliable, high-performance and secure Wi-Fi access.

Ruckus Wireless was recently named a Leader in the "IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Enterprise WLAN 2013-2014 Vendor Analysis" (doc #243354, September 2013). The IDC study assessed a wide variety of vendors participating in the enterprise wireless LAN (WLAN) market, evaluating each vendor based on a comprehensive framework and set of parameters that assessed vendors relative to one another and to those factors expected to be most conducive to success in the enterprise WLAN market, for both the short and long term.
