EdTech Magazine – Ruckus’ ICX 7650-48ZP Switch Helps Future Proof Your Network

Network connectivity is critically important for both students and staff, yet most institutions refresh their network and wireless infrastructure only once every eight to 10 years. With new wireless technology hitting the market roughly every three years, quite a few colleges may be lagging behind the curve.

One solution is the Ruckus ICX 7650 switch, which comes loaded with extra features and capacity that can help colleges stay relevant and supportive of new technology as it advances — even if they don’t require that capacity initially. Admins generally use the ICX7650-48ZP model, which boasts the highest capacity in the line, as an access-level switch to onboard new devices and users.

All the new switches, including the ICX7650-48ZP, feature a thin design that fitsin a single rack slot. Users can chain together up to 12 ICX switches for increased capacity without requiring any special or proprietary cables.

The ICX 7650-48ZP comes standard with 24 ports of multigigabit (IEEE 802.3bz) Ethernet ports and 24 ports for standard gigabit Ethernet. Read more.
