RUCKUS Cloudpath Enrollment System provides secure access to wired and wireless networks for people and devices. It can be deployed as a cloud service or as virtualized on-premises software for VMware or Hyper-V. BYOD and guest users can enroll through configurable self-service workflows, while posture checks can send devices that do not meet requirements for remediation before access is granted. Security features include WPA2/WPA3-Enterprise with 802.1X, encryption in transit, a certificate authority, digital certificates, and individual Dynamic PSKs that administrators can revoke. Administrators can set per-user and per-device policies for roles, bandwidth, applications, and private networks using VLANs or VXLANs. Guest credentials can be sent by email or SMS, printed as vouchers, or supported through social login portals. Identity sources include Active Directory, LDAP-compatible directories, RADIUS via PAP, Novell, and Google. Subscriptions are user-based and available for cloud or on-premises deployment, with support included. Pricing is available on request.
