Ruckus Networks, an ARRIS company, has been named a preferred provider for VAST Networks in South Africa, the largest public Wi-Fi provider on the continent, to roll out Hotspot 2.0 technology that simplifies Wi-Fi roaming for customers.<\/p>\n
\u201cMost people do not even think twice when it comes to roaming on their mobile devices when they travel, but given the pressure of tighter budgets, roaming costs are a growing concern,\u201d said Riaan Graham, Sales Director for Ruckus Networks, Sub-Saharan Africa.<\/p>\n
\u201cMost wireless users prefer to connect to a hotspot whenever they can as a way of keeping those expenses to a minimum. The challenge is finding and selecting the right network, logging on through a portal, and repeating the process every time a new hotspot is accessed.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cRuckus has worked continent-wide providing solutions for virtually any scenario or customer requirement. The collaboration with VAST combines our extensive experience to offer a truly innovative solution to overcome a challenge with which many mobile operators and consumers struggle.\u201d<\/p>\n
Khetan Gajjar, Chief Technical Officer at VAST Networks, added that it was imperative to identify a company that shared its passion for connecting people in a digital environment.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith Ruckus Networks, we\u2019re able to continuously explore different methods of authenticating and onboarding users to our network with incremental effort,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
