Make the Internet of Things (IoT) work for you
The Internet of Things has helped organizations across all industries create new services, streamline operations, and greatly improve customer experience. From universities to hotels to offices to homes, the IoT is transforming the fabric of business and personal life.
As the number of connected devices increases, how are you using the IoT to create value for your enterprise?
IoT and converged networks
At CommScope, our goal is to simplify networking. With RUCKUS, companies do not have to deploy additional networks to support any specific IoT device. Enterprises can aggregate and backhaul IoT traffic across a common RUCKUS wireless network and simplify the provisioning, management, and securing of their converged network, so they can lower costs and accelerate the delivery of IoT benefits.
IoT in every industry
Hospitality
Hoteliers are using IoT technologies to enable a personalized guest experience that differentiates their hotel property and brand.
Smart Cities
Cities are using IoT applications to run city services more efficiently and to deliver new services to residents, businesses and visitors.
Multi-dwelling units
Multi-dwelling unit (MDU) owners and operators are using IoT applications to create “smart home” experiences that attract new residents and help their properties stand out from the crowd.
Higher Education
IoT-enabled smart campuses make colleges and universities safer and more efficient, and give students new ways to engage in campus life.
Primary Education
Connected classrooms give students a more engaging, personalized 1:1 learning experience, with new “edtech” (education technology) tools being added every day.
Retail
When stores understand their customers—how they shop, where they linger, which paths are most trafficked through a space—they’re in prime position to deliver better in-store experiences and increase sales.
Healthcare
As hospitals and clinics struggle to provide better, more personalized healthcare, a converged access network becomes the foundation for supporting all of the devices and services that deliver a safer, healthier, and more responsive patient experience.
Large Public Venues
IoT services such as wayfinding, asset tracking and IP Video security at large public venues are critical for crowd safety and satisfaction.

Luxury hotel makes a secure entry into IoT guest services
Smart devices, often referred to as the internet of things (IoT), offer the hospitality industry the opportunity to provide guests with a much richer experience. When the Royal Park Hotel opened its doors in 2004 in Rochester, Michigan, it had the look of a historic landmark. The luxury hotel is designed in the tradition of an elegant English manor house. Its old-world elegance makes you feel like you’re stepping back into the past. But the hotel’s use of technology is all about modern conveniences.
Delivering Simplified Online Door Lock Solutions
Hotels, apartment complexes, universities and other entities benefit from the safety and convenience of RUCKUS's Connected Entry solution. Automated door locks can deploy more easily and at lower cost over RUCKUS converged networks.
Staff alert / panic button
Employee safety concerns are on the rise across all industries. Joining forces with industry leaders, CommScope is making it easy to implement staff alert solutions while building a flexible foundation for tomorrow’s IoT applications.
Smart buildings
Intelligent buildings promise new levels of energy efficiency, occupant health and visitor productivity through innovative uses of highly connected, autonomous systems that support connected entry solutions, lighting, occupancy sensors and personalization tools.
Overcoming the challenges of enterprise IoT adoption
IDC predicts worldwide IoT market spend will grow to $1.1 trillion in 2021, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.4 percent. Organizations are eager to embark upon IoT projects; however, the trend is fraught with complexities spanning the endpoint, network/connectivity, and software layers, leading to concerns about security, privacy, and cost management.
