This is where we\u2019re saving money,\u201d said Muetassem Raslan, regional manager for the Middle East at Ruckus Wireless.<\/p>\n<p>He said the company\u2019s directional technology is behind a lot of the benefits: \u201cBeam flexing eliminates one of the main problems with Wi-Fi, which is going the distance. By covering a greater distance, we can reduce the number of access points you require \u2013 by reducing the number of access points you\u2019re not only saving the cost of the access points, but cabling, switching, management.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Unleashed range, which was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.intelligentcio.com\/me\/2015\/10\/07\/ruckus-wireless-launches-controller-less-wifi-architecture-for-smbs\/\">launched earlier this month<\/a>, is targeted primarily at SMEs, and is designed to run without the attention of a dedicated IT department.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith a controller environment, it has to be managed by your IT crowd \u2013 with Unleashed, you can set it up in a couple of minutes. You plug it in, follow the wizard \u2013 it\u2019s like setting up a consumer access point. It\u2019s cheaper, you don\u2019t have to put it in a server room \u2013 you basically have the same thing a bank would have, but you\u2019ve got a far more simple environment,\u201d said Michael Fletcher, regional sales director for Middle East and Africa at Ruckus.    \t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ruckus Wireless is talking up its new Unleashed range of controller-less Wi-Fi access points at GITEX, and says regional customers are already seeing the benefits of its technology, \u201cWe had one factory in Jebel Ali, where they had 11 of our competitor\u2019s access points.
