It offers switches, Wi-Fiaccess points, CBRS access points, controllers, management systems, cloud management, AAA/BYOD software, AI and ML analytics software, location software and IoT controller software products to mobile carriers, broadband service providers, and corporate enterprises.

Ruckus began trading on the New York Stock Exchange in 2012. It was delisted in 2016, after it was acquired by Brocade Communications Systems for approximately $1.5 billion on May 27, 2016. Ruckus Wireless and the Brocade ICX line of switching products were acquired by Arris International for $800 million in a deal finalized on December 1, 2017. The company was renamed Ruckus Networks, an ARRIS company from Ruckus Wireless. On April 4, 2019, CommScope completed its acquisition of Arris, which included the recently acquired Ruckus.

On January 12, 2026, CommScope completed the sale of its Connectivity and Cable Solutions segment to Amphenol. As the CommScope name and brand transferred with that business, the remaining company was renamed Vistance Networks, which became the parent company of Ruckus Networks and Aurora Networks. On April 30, 2026, Belden announced an agreement to acquire Ruckus Networks from Vistance Networks for approximately $1.85 billion. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. On July 1, 2026, Ruckus announced that the acquisition had been completed.
