Live Demos at Booth #4108 to Feature RUCKUS Pro AV ICX Switches and Wi-Fi 7 Access Points, Available Now Through Blackwire
PHOENIX — Sept. 4, 2025 — Blackwire Designs, a leading distributor in the custom installation and Pro AV markets, announced the availability of the RUCKUS® Pro AV line of switches alongside the latest Wi-Fi 7 access points. Developed by CommScope (NASDAQ: COMM), a global leader in network connectivity, the RUCKUS Pro AV portfolio delivers a purpose-built suite of wired networking solutions that meet leading AV standards and the rigorous demands of professional AV environments. As a long-time Elite RUCKUS partner, Blackwire will feature the Pro AV switches and Wi-Fi 7 access points live at CEDIA Expo 2025, Sept. 4-6 in Denver, giving integrators an in-person look at the performance and reliability that set these solutions apart.
“Audio and video distribution over IP is the de facto standard for delivering high-quality services and experiences in smart homes, venues, studios and enterprises,” said Bart Giordano, SVP and President, RUCKUS Networks. “Working closely with partners like Blackwire allows us to bring this technology to more integrators, enabling a suite of products and solutions that power reliable, end-to-end networks across the Pro AV market.”
“RUCKUS Pro AV solutions are merging the ease of configuration and form factor that integrators love and expect in modern networking solutions with the enterprise-grade hardware and software that the RUCKUS line has been known for,” said Cody Crossland, Vice President of Sales at Blackwire Designs. “When paired with our Network Provisioning Service, which enables integrators to complete a simple project questionnaire and receive a custom, pre-configured network tailored to their specific needs, integrators can effortlessly deliver top-tier wired and wireless networking for their customers, saving both time and money in the field.”
The RUCKUS Networks portfolio includes out-of-the-box, one-click support for leading AV standards, protocols, and ecosystems such as NDI, DANTE, QSYS, AES65, Crestron, AVPro MXNet, SONOS, and Just Add Power. This is accomplished via three product categories: AV-enhanced enterprise-class Wi-Fi 6 and 7 access points (APs), and AV-enhanced enterprise-class ICX® switches with ready-to-go smart AV Profiles.
As a long-time Elite RUCKUS partner, Blackwire is a premier distributor providing integrators with the products and expertise needed for exceptional networking solutions, by offering the full range of RUCKUS wireless access points and switches, all in stock and ready to ship. Blackwire sets itself apart with unmatched support, including pre-sales design assistance, Wi-Fi heatmap planning, and complimentary network provisioning for customers purchasing RUCKUS products through the company. This service pre-configures switches and access points to project specifications before shipment, enabling faster, smoother installations. Post-installation troubleshooting and deep technical expertise ensure every RUCKUS project, whether residential, commercial, or Pro AV, delivers optimal performance, reliability, and ease of deployment, making Blackwire the go-to resource for integrators nationwide.
RUCKUS Wi-Fi 7 Access Points (APs), including the R670, R770, and T670, and the new R370, are built for the demands of the Pro AV market. The RUCKUS R370 delivers Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) performance in a compact, IoT-ready design ideal for low- to medium-density deployments. Featuring the same patented RUCKUS technologies as the flagship models, it optimizes performance, minimizes interference, and offers cost-effective, space-saving options. Unleashed support for the R370 will be available soon. Complementing the AP lineup, RUCKUS ICX switches enable rapid deployment with native support for leading AV standards, plus rear ethernet ports and a compact, rack-mountable form factor for ease of installation.
The Wi-Fi 7 access points and Pro AV ICX switches are available now through the Blackwire website. Attendees of the CEDIA Expo 2025 can get a hands-on look at the products and speak directly with RUCKUS team members inside the Blackwire booth (#4108) to learn how these solutions can deliver rock-solid performance for their projects. Visitors are also invited to attend the free Ruckus 101 training session on Friday, September 5, at 10:00 a.m. in room 104 to gain practical insights into deploying and optimizing RUCKUS solutions.
