SINGAPORE
- Media OutReach - April 23, 2019
- Ruckus Networks (now part of CommScope via acquisition), today announced that
it deployed the high-performance Wi-Fi and wired network used at Black Hat Asia
2019 -- the region's premiere information security conference -- for the third consecutive
year.

The
Black Hat Network Operations Center (NOC) team was responsible for designing,
deploying, and monitoring the network that supported the IT needs of the
conference, including registration, training sessions, and briefings, as well
as attendee Wi-Fi access. They worked with Ruckus Networks as the official
wired and wireless network equipment provider, to implement a highly secure,
stable network with high availability in one of the most demanding environments
in the world.

The
Black Hat Asia network was designed to accommodate more than 3,000 users and 5,000
simultaneous device connections. Ruckus deployed approximately 25 Ruckus R610
access points working with three ICX7150 switches and two SmartZone� 100s
running in an active/active cluster. It was successfully deployed in just four
hours, delivering excellent and seamless network connectivity for conference
attendees, who required a stable, high-performing, and interference-free Wi-Fi
network.

"Black
Hat events have demanding IT environments. For Singapore, we required a
high-performance, secure network infrastructure that could reliably support security
professionals from all over Asia," said Heather Williams, senior product solutions
architect, Ruckus Networks. "We're excited for the opportunity to be powering
Black Hat's network infrastructure for the third consecutive year, and we look
