Not only does a Master AP fulfill its normal function serving WiFi clients, but it also performs control functions and pushes them out to other Member APs on the network. Ruckus Unleashed eliminates the need for a controller by empowering each access point to assume a manager, or “Master AP,” role as needed. Think of a controller as the “manager” and the access points as its employees. The control plane is a second, smaller dataset containing commands to direct how access points prioritize, segment, and transfer information across the data plane. The data plane makes up the majority of wireless signal activity and includes all of the actual traffic from web usage, client requests, and browser data. Wireless access points operate on two distinct “planes” of data: the control plane and the data plane.
This translates to a much lower upfront cost without sacrificing features and benefits you would get with a dedicated controller. Since Ruckus Unleashed is a controller-less WiFi solution you won’t need to buy a separate hardware controller to utilize the full benefits of your wireless network. Are you a small business owner looking to deploy a secure, high-speed WiFi network without hiring an expensive IT team to maintain it? Ruckus Unleashed is a series of controller-less WLAN solutions that checks all the boxes on a small business owners’ checklist: it’s affordable, easy to install, and simplified management means just about anyone can deploy their own reliable WiFi network in a few minutes.
