RUCKUS Wi-Fi & Wired Networks

Wireless coverage begins with a well-planned wired network. IMS designs RUCKUS networks for homes and business properties across Northern Virginia, coordinating access points, switching and cabling with the building and the systems it supports.

Coverage Planned around the Property

Room layout, construction materials and outdoor living areas guide access-point placement. We review the areas people use, their connected devices and the available cable routes before defining the equipment plan.

RUCKUS offers indoor and outdoor access points for different installations. Model selection, mounting and power are coordinated with the design.

Switching and Wireless Access, Designed Together

Access points connect back to the wired network. Switch ports, power capacity and uplinks need to suit the selected devices and the traffic they carry.

RUCKUS ICX switches provide options within that wired design. We select the switching and management approach for the actual installation, accounting for the connected entertainment, security and business systems.

Clear Administration and Handoff

The management platform affects configuration, access, updates and ongoing administration. We establish the equipment, licensing and management responsibilities within the project scope.

For a business property, IMS coordinates with the property and IT teams. For a home, we plan the network alongside entertainment, automation and security, with service arrangements discussed for the installation.

Infrastructure Carried through Construction

Cable routes, equipment spaces and service access are coordinated with the construction and electrical work. Organized patching and clear identification help make the installation straightforward to follow and maintain.

Planning a RUCKUS Network

Is another access point always the answer?

Coverage problems can involve placement, building materials, settings, cabling or the incoming service. We review the network before defining a change.

Can the design include outdoor areas?

Yes, with suitable outdoor equipment, cable routes, power and mounting. The areas requiring coverage are established in the project scope.

Which management platform will be used?

The platform is selected for the installation. Features, licensing and administration responsibilities are confirmed with the equipment scope.

Discuss Your Network with IMS

Tell us about the property, the systems using the network and what you want to improve. Existing plans and equipment information help us prepare for the conversation.
