What will you learn during RUCKUS Connect Lunch?
1. RUCKUS Networks – market position and portfolio
Get to know RUCKUS as part of the Belden portfolio and learn more about the brand’s direction and development. We will cover the key elements of the portfolio: Wi-Fi 6, Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7 access points, RUCKUS ICX switches, and management platforms including RUCKUS One, SmartZone and Unleashed.
We will also introduce the technologies that differentiate RUCKUS, including BeamFlex, adaptive antenna technology and ChannelFly.
Presented by: Sebastian Reluga – RUCKUS Networks
2. RUCKUS management technologies and architecture
Cloud, on-premises or controller-less?
We will compare the main deployment models:
RUCKUS One, SmartZone and Unleashed. We will explain when each model is the right choice, how licensing and support work, and what capabilities analytics and AIOps solutions can provide.
Presented by: Sebastian Reluga – RUCKUS Networks
3. Live demo – SmartZone from scratch
No slides, no theory. See how a RUCKUS SmartZone environment is set up in practice.
We will demonstrate:
- registering an access point and an ICX switch,
- configuring WLANs and VLANs,
- assigning configurations to APs,
- navigating the SmartZone interface,
- infrastructure monitoring.
This is a practical demonstration of what RUCKUS SmartZone looks like in a real-world deployment.
Presented by: Marcin Kościesza – Kappa Data

4. Wireless network design in practice
A well-designed Wi-Fi network starts long before the first access point is installed.
We will discuss site surveys, AP selection and placement, and wireless network design across different environments – from offices and warehouses to hotels and hospitals.
We will highlight the most common design mistakes, explain how to interpret survey results, and show how to select the right RUCKUS AP models for specific use cases.
Presented by: Marcin Piekarz – Wi-Fi Network Design Specialist
5. Q&A and next steps
We will finish with an open session for your questions, specific projects and technical challenges. We will also discuss opportunities to run a RUCKUS pilot or Proof of Concept (PoC) together with the RUCKUS and Kappa Data teams.
