SUNNYVALE, Calif., March 11, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Ruckus
Networks, an ARRIS company, today announced it received
Federal Information Processing Standard Publication 140-2 (FIPS PUB
140-2) certification for its wireless access points (APs).
Compliance with the U.S. government security standard broadens the
connectivity solutions available for Ruckus' Federal customers.
"The U.S. Federal Government wants more options for wireless
networks at scale, but because of strict government requirements
for technology, their options to date have been limited," said
Jimmie Adkins, Vice President of
Federal, Ruckus Networks, an ARRIS company. "Ruckus has joined a
very select group of vendors that have received this important
certification. Our Federal customers now have more options
to modernize their networks to meet ever-increasing
wireless connectivity demands."
Budget and staffing realities – as well as evolving security
threats – are making it more challenging for Federal agencies to
succeed in their missions. The IT infrastructure at Federal
agencies must be continuously modernized to manage and function at
scale with existing resources. Today's government IT networks are
at a crossroads. For too long, these networks have been locked into
old technologies without the budget to innovate.
"As one of the few companies to offer FIPS-certified wireless
APs, Ruckus gives our Federal customers another option to implement
a more capable and scalable network," said Chris Oliver, President, ID Technologies. "This
certification allows our Federal customers to modernize their
existing networks with the best performing RF solutions in some of
the most challenging environments."
A recent poll conducted by the Government Business Council
showed that 50 percent of government employees rate the state of
their agency's wireless or Wi-Fi network as poor to very poor.
Almost half said the poor wireless experience hindered their
productivity in fulfilling their agency's mission.
"With a twenty-year history of Federal IT network modernization,
Ruckus knows how to help Federal agencies update their access
infrastructure in a scalable and secure manner," continued Adkins.
"By ensuring Ruckus solutions are compliant with government
certifications, Ruckus makes it easier and more cost efficient for
Federal IT employees to fulfill the mission of their agencies."
