Ruckus will immediately include Cloudpath's software in its Smart Wi-Fi portfolio for the education, enterprise, commercial, and hospitality markets. Cloudpath has a strong presence and reputation in the education market, given the need for schools to easily and securely manage an ever-changing set of users and devices. Cloudpath was also the first in the industry to support Chromebook devices, helping schools secure their classrooms by integrating this rapidly growing platform. Businesses and retailers also use Cloudpath to enforce different access policies based on user, role, and device for employees, customers, contractors, and vendors.
Cloudpath software provides a common entry point for securely integrating new devices. The one-time enrollment process verifies the user and device and automatically configures the device with the appropriate wireless network and certificate for the desired policy. Users automatically reconnect to the secure network with the appropriate policies, including virtual LANs and access control lists (ACLs)—all dynamically applied.
