Industry’s First Independent Wi-Fi Interference and Capacity Testing by Tom’s Hardware Reveals Ruckus Consistently Outperforms Others
SUNNYVALE, CA – July 18, 2011 – Ruckus Wireless today announced that its ZoneFlex midrange Smart Wi-Fi system performed up to 10 times faster than higher end competitive wireless products from Cisco, Aruba, HP and others, in the industry’s first independent Wi-Fi interference and capacity tests released by Tom’s Hardware, one of the Internet’s premiere resources for unbiased reviews, news and information on technology.
According to Tom’s Hardware, the wireless LAN testing was developed to determine how advanced Wi-Fi capabilities affect real-world wireless performance at different distances and within high-density environments when wireless interference is introduced. In nearly every Wi-Fi test, Ruckus delivered demonstrably faster and more consistent performance over competitive products. Ruckus did not pay for the Tom’s Hardware testing or influence the results.
“Given the insane number of wireless-only smart phones, tablets and laptops hitting networks today, our readers must now deal with new Wi-Fi issues such as interference and higher client capacities,” said Chris Angelini, worldwide editor-in-chief of Tom’s Hardware. “We were unable to find any definitive or comprehensive testing in this area, so we decided to give give readers a first-hand view of how the best Wi-Fi products we could find would actually perform in a real world environment when lots of users try to connect and interference is present. We knew this would be a difficult to get done but, after months of work, we were able to build a reliable test bed that let us clearly determine if advanced Wi-Fi capabilities really have an impact on performance. They do.”
