Ruckus Networks Pro AV ICX Switches
The new Pro AV ICX switches are AV-optimized and pre-configured out-of-the-box, providing a broad compatibility with existing AV solutions across the industry and reduction in the resources needed to configure the switch to support AV protocols and endpoints. The expanded ICX portfolio can be managed by RUCKUS One®, SmartZone™ and as a standalone switch, allowing for integration across various commercial environments including professional residential, hospitality and education.
Pre-configured switches lower risk and enable faster deployments and effortless scaling of AV networks. Network operators can quickly onboard AV devices and manage AV traffic through our existing cloud or on-prem management platform, which also manage our standard switches and access points.
The expanded portfolio is also fully interoperable with Crestron's DM NVX AV-over-IP platform. Crestron creates innovative content, collaboration, and control technologies for the Pro AV industry.
"At RUCKUS Networks, we pride ourselves on building advanced networking solutions, and our expanded Pro AV portfolio goes beyond the ordinary to make AV networking even simpler and easier to deploy for our customers," said Bart Giordano, SVP & president, RUCKUS Networks. "We're excited to be joining Crestron and the SDVoE Alliance in accelerating the transition to AV-over-IP for AV transport."
"Crestron's DM NVX is the industry-leading AV-over-IP solution, providing flawless distribution of networked video, audio, USB, and control," stated Bob Bavolacco, strategic partnerships director at Crestron. "Our partnership with RUCKUS Networks is built on rigorous testing of their switches with DM NVX to ensure our mutual end clients experience the best in video and audio distribution paired with one of the industry's leading switch manufacturers."
The SDVoE Alliance is a nonprofit consortium of Pro AV technology providers collaborating to standardize the use of Ethernet-based, software-defined AV-over-IP systems to transport AV signals in professional AV environments.
