Ruckus Wireless inks Southeast Asian distributorship agreement with Ingram Micro

Ruckus Wireless has partnered with Ingram Micro, the world's largest distributor of computer and technology products, to distribute Ruckus products and solutions across Southeast Asia. The collaboration will enable enterprises, service providers, and small-to-medium-sized businesses to realise high performance, secure and intelligent enterprise-class mobility solutions.

The partnership between Ruckus and Ingram Micro will involve the distribution of Ruckus products and solutions, including access points (APs), controller-less solutions, physical and virtual controllers, and smart wireless analytics and location based solutions in Southeast Asia. In addition, Ruckus and Ingram Micro will jointly enable the development of Ruckus' partner community.

Ingram Micro works with thousands of vendors, resellers and retail partners, customising and delivering technology solutions to businesses of all sizes around the world. The company focuses on cloud, mobility, supply chain and technology solutions that enable businesses to operate more efficiently and successfully in the markets they serve.

Commenting on the partnership, Michael Lok, MD, Southeast Asia, Ruckus Wireless, said, "As a global IT distributor with a strong presence across the Asia Pacific region, we believe Ingram Micro is an ideal partner as Ruckus expands into the enterprise and SMB markets. Ingram Micro's extensive breadth of products and solutions, complemented by Smart Wi-Fi solutions from Ruckus, can help customers solve the challenges associated with realising high performance campus mobility."

The collaboration comes at a time of exponential growth in enterprise mobility, driven by the growth in smartphones and other devices possessing Wi-Fi capabilities. An IDC report highlights that companies across Asia Pacific excluding Japan have been increasing their investments in the area of mobility adoption, citing that more than 70% of survey respondents already have some mobility initiatives in place within their organisations.

"Ruckus Wireless' Wi-Fi portfolio is an enhancement to our mobile solutions offering to our SMB and enterprise customers. Embarking on this partnership therefore not only increases our product offerings but extends the commitment we made to our customers to bring them the best technology available in the market," said Francis Choo, VP, SEA & HK, Ingram Micro Asia Ltd.

The collaboration between Ruckus and Ingram Micro includes Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.
