“The ICX® 8200 series is a wired platform optimized for wireless service delivery, purposefully designed to handle the next generation of wireless-first and IoT campus networks,” stated Bart Giordano, Senior Vice President, RUCKUS Networks, CommScope. “Our newest product line will not only support today’s most advanced Wi-Fi® technology, but also future generations of Wi-Fi, and includes three models that will deliver a fiber-to-the-room solution.”

After installing new ICX 8200 switches at a campus in the Chico Unified School District, Patrick Bossetti, IT Supervising Manager, noted, “We have recently added the latest ICX 8200 switch to our campus network as an access switch to connect wireless access points and classroom learning equipment. We are impressed with the performance and ease of deployment with the 25 Gbps stacking and uplink ports. We are equally pleased with the switches’ high PoE rating – this is needed for the newer, power-hungry generation of wireless APs. We appreciate the flexibility and connectivity options provided by gigabit and multigigabit copper and fiber ports that can be stacked together into a single, easy to manage virtual device. The RUCKUS® solution has met or exceeded every expectation we had when we planned this deployment.”
