The MediaShop, a South African media agency, has selected Ruckus Networks<\/a>, an ARRIS company, to deploy its internal wireless network at the new head office in Bryanston, Johannesburg.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a communications agency, we understand the importance of uptime and customer satisfaction,\u201d said Lisanne Hofmeyr, IT Manager at The MediaShop.<\/p>\n

\u201dFor our staff, we wanted to eliminate cabling and give the team freedom and mobility to work anywhere in our new built-to-spec offices.<\/p>\n

\u201cConnectivity in and around our offices is paramount to our operations and since we were looking for a completely wireless solution \u2013 it was evident we needed a strong market player.\u201d<\/p>\n

LAN Logix\u2014the preferred outsourced IT Partner for The MediaShop\u2014offered its advice on the best\u00a0connectivity solutions to The MediaShop, a company they worked with for many years.<\/p>\n

After extensive market research and product comparisons, Ruckus was chosen as the solution of choice.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Ruckus solution was a clear leader not only from an industry standard perspective but from a compliance, reliability and scalability perspective,\u201d added Paul Hardwick, Managing Director at LAN Logix.<\/p>\n

\u201cRuckus was the obvious choice for a company that demands reliability and zero down-time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ruckus and the LAN Logix team undertook a site visit to ensure an optimal network design \u2013 one that was able to ensure the three floors in the building were completely covered by carrier-grade Wi-Fi.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter the design, it was decided that just 20 Ruckus R710\u2019s<\/a> would service all the required networks \u2013 including the core network, BYOD network as well as the guest network,\u201d said Hardwick.<\/p>\n

The R710 delivers industry-leading performance and reliability, in the most demanding high-density locations.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen it comes to Wi-Fi, enterprises are tired of unstable connections, dropped packets and erratic performance,\u201d said Riaan Graham, sales director for sub-Saharana Africa at Ruckus Networks.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey want a smarter wireless system that provides solid coverage, capacity and reliability – but at the same time, one that is affordable and easy to deploy and manage.”<\/p>\n
