ICX IP Switches

The Ruckus ICX^® fixed form-factor IP switch families work together to deliver a simple, secure and scalable high performance network solution supporting today’s most demanding networking needs.

Enterprise networks are increasingly complex with the needs to support a wide range of wireless and wired devices and the latest bandwidth demanding applications. The ICX family of switches are designed meet the requirements for network scalability and at the same time simple to deploy and manage. ICX multi-purpose switches can be deployed standalone, stacked or within a campus fabric. Together they comprise the building blocks for simplified network deployment and management, scale-out networking, and investment protection with the industry’s lowest total cost of ownership.

Service Providers will find ICX switches ideal for many areas of their operations, including top-of-rack switching, video headends, enterprise Wi-Fi, managed services as well as their own IT infrastructure. Within Distributed Access Architectures (DAA), ICX switches provide the Converged Interconnect Network (CIN): ICX IP Switches for DAA.
