CommScope has introduced a new suite of RUCKUS tools that it claims will cut operating costs for landlords and Managed Service Providers, while improving connectivity for residents in multi-dwelling buildings.
The Texas-based network equipment maker said on 14th November that the package, built on its AI-driven RUCKUS One platform, combines Wi-Fi 7 hardware with new analytics and automation features aimed at property portfolios. The launch comes as MDU owners face rising expectations for high-reliability broadband, low latency, and support for an increasing number of connected devices per flat.
A new capability, MDU 360, gives owners and MSPs a unified view of network health, resident experience, and service-level performance across entire estates. It uses predictive analytics from RUCKUS AI to highlight emerging issues, verify service quality, and support data-driven decisions. The company said the tool simplifies administration through role-based access, and reduces the need for manual troubleshooting.
CommScope has also added an AI assistant, the RUCKUS Digital System Engineer, which allows users to query network data through natural-language prompts. Instead of navigating dashboards, administrators can request performance metrics, generate charts, or explore resident-experience scores conversationally. The assistant is embedded directly in RUCKUS One.
The hardware component of the suite includes the H670 and R575 Wi-Fi 7 access points, designed for wall or ceiling installation. The tri-band units support multi-gigabit speeds and integrate radios for Bluetooth Low Energy and Zigbee, with Matter and Thread compatibility to support IoT services. CommScope said the devices use its patented RF technologies and AI optimisation to maintain signal strength and coverage in dense environments. They can be deployed with RUCKUS One, RUCKUS SmartZone, or RUCKUS Unleashed.
Bart Giordano, Senior Vice President & President of RUCKUS Networks, said the new suite represented “a major breakthrough” in applying AI to property-wide network management. “Owners and MSPs can now drill down from a high-level view of network health to see the resident-experience score and historical SLA performance for every property and unit,” he said.
