RUCKUS IoT Insights Overview

The RUCKUS IoT Insights is supported by the RUCKUS IoT Controller 2.0.0.0 or later and requires that the “INSIGHT” Instance license is installed on the RUCKUS IoT Controller. Additionally, each device or sensor installed on the RUCKUS IoT Insights platform requires a Device License to operate.

The RUCKUS IoT Insights is an application and solution based platform that allows the network builder to reliably operate IoT sensors and manage all the aspects of the day-to-day operation of the IoT domain The.RUCKUS IoT Insights allows you to analyze the inputs from various disconnected IoT subsystems by providing a common interface for device discovery, onboarding and monitoring and also decoding the IoT events from the different protocols including Zigbee, LoRa, Z-Wave, BLE and third party MQTT protocols or payloads.

Typical RUCKUS IoT Suite Deployment

The following diagram shows typical RUCKUS IoT Suite deployment.

Typical RUCKUS IoT Deployment

The following components make up the RUCKUS IoT Suite deployment:

  • RUCKUS IoT-ready Access Points (APs): Accommodate RUCKUS IoT Modules, and provides built-in IoT support to establish multi-standards wireless access for Wi-Fi and non-Wi-Fi IoT endpoints

  • RUCKUS IoT Controller: A virtual controller, deployed in tandem with a RUCKUS SmartZone OS-based controller, that performs connectivity, device, and security management

  • RUCKUS IoT Modules: Radio or radio-and-sensor devices that connect to a RUCKUS IoT-ready AP to enable endpoint connectivity based on standards such as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and Zigbee

  • RUCKUS SmartZone Controller: A network controller that provides a management interface for the WLAN

  • RUCKUS IoT Insights: A virtual controller, deployed in tandem with the RUCKUS IoT Controller, that performs application-level analysis, control, and logging of RUCKUS IoT events with a focus on an application-level solution.

The RUCKUS IoT Solution

To address the IoT challenge, RUCKUS has developed a suite of products that can be deployed as an IoT access network that consolidates multiple physical-layer networks into a single converged network. This common network simplifies IoT endpoint onboarding, establishes uniform security protocols, and converges IoT endpoint management and policy-setting. In short, an IoT access network enables organizations to more quickly realize benefits from IoT use cases.

The RUCKUS IoT Suite simplifies the creation of IoT access networks through the reuse of LAN and WLAN infrastructure, which shortens the time to deploy and reduces the cost of an IoT solution. The Integration of a single IoT suite works as a sensor and acts as an edge of connectivity between the multiple IoT Radios, it provides an advanced traffic management with dedicated network isolation to enhance security, it supports Full IoT Sensor Life cycle management that enhances monitoring and reporting with advanced control. It comes up with a dedicated digital twin solution that provides monitoring and data analytics for your IoT environment.
