Ruckus shakes up 11n

Vendors to potentially benefit from bonus and reward scheme

Vendors ordering more than one WLAN product can receive discounts.

Ruckus Wireless is targeting rival wireless LAN (WLAN) vendors with an aggressive discount initiative and is offering bonuses to top-performing resellers.

From now until the end of the year Ruckus is offering enterprises the chance to replace their 802.11g WLAN systems from rivals Colubris, Trapeze and Meru. Customers wishing to replace their system with a Ruckus 11n system can benefit from discounts of more than 75 per cent.

Ruckus is also offering its Silver partners an additional five per cent discount if they order more than one Zoneflex WLAN product. Gold partners hitting sales targets will also be eligible for an end-of-quarter bonus.

Ruckus’ EMEA director of enterprise sales James Calderbank said: “Our technology puts us in a great position to exploit 11n.”
