\"Ruckus<\/a>Ruckus Wireless has released four new Smart Wi-Fi mobile applications for systems integrators, value-added resellers and network administrators working to optimize their wireless LANs. The four applications address different aspects of Wi-Fi performance but all target the difficulty in optimizing Wi-Fi coverage and performance. Rob Mustarde, VP of Marketing for Ruckus Wireless says \u201cWe wanted to radically simplify this process with tools that are intuitive to use and understand, and which offer a compelling value in the data they deliver.\u201d<\/p>\n

The four applications Speed Flex, S.W.A.T., Zapper, and ZD Remote are all available for free on the Apple iTunes App Store as well as other online outlets. The apps help network administrators to best determine setup and access point locations to deliver the best coverage possible. The apps also allow for product and performance comparisons between Ruckus and 3rd<\/sup> party competing solutions.
