Ruckus WAN Gateway (RWG) is a centralized network solution that combines security, traffic management, and connectivity into one platform, enabling reliable and flexible internet connectivity for complex environments. What is SD-WAN? SD-WAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Network) is a technology that simplifies and optimizes the management of network connections (internet links) between different business locations and the cloud. Instead of configuring each connection manually, SD-WAN allows centralized management of the entire network via software. A software platform that serves as the main internet access point for large and complex network environments such as conference centers, stadiums, airports, hotels, office buildings, or smart campuses. Regardless of network size or user type, RWG provides reliable, secure, and easily manageable connectivity, with advanced analytics and customization to business goals. All this in one centralized solution – simple, scalable, and efficient. RWG is most commonly installed as a software application on standard server hardware (physical server or virtual machine in a data center or cloud). Visually, it does not look like a traditional Wi-Fi device – it has no antenna or "plastic casing" – instead, rack-mount equipment is used and placed in a server cabinet. After installation, configuration and management are performed via a centralized web console, where access rules, user segmentation, billing methods, VPN connections, as well as detailed network traffic analytics can be defined. RWG is positioned between end users (Wi-Fi networks, user devices) and the internet gateway, where it functions as an intelligent router (with SD-WAN support), firewall device, access manager (NAC), analytical and marketing tool. Main features: • Automation: simplifies network configuration and reduces human intervention • Flexible billing: enables advanced billing options for business users • Excellent user experience: provides fast and reliable connectivity, with integrated location services • SD-WAN allows users to choose between different internet service providers • Data analytics: provides insights into user behavior for targeted marketing campaigns RWG brings numerous benefits to all types of users: simplified network management, enhanced revenue opportunities, and an exceptional user experience. In conference centers, it automates network reconfiguration for each event, while in stadiums it enables targeted marketing campaigns based on data analysis. In airports, RWG provides an integrated system for service management and billing, tailored to the needs of different users. With its SD-WAN capabilities, RWG ensures reliable connectivity and optimal bandwidth utilization regardless of the environment.
