- Launch of new RUCKUS Pro AV portfolio tailored for high-end residential and commercial AV installations
- Out-of-the-box support for leading AV standards and protocols
- Introduction of AV-enhanced Wi-Fi 6 and 7 access points
- New ICX switches with native support for AV standards and protocols
- Cloud-based remote management services for improved efficiency
- ICX switches not available until Q4 2024, potentially delaying full portfolio adoption
CommScope's new RUCKUS Pro AV portfolio marks a significant step in addressing the growing demand for IP-based technologies in professional AV installations. The portfolio's out-of-the-box support for leading AV standards and protocols like NDI, DANTE and AES65 is a game-changer, potentially reducing setup time and complexity for installers. The introduction of AV-enhanced Wi-Fi 6 and 7 access points is particularly noteworthy, as it future-proofs installations for upcoming high-bandwidth AV applications. However, the delayed availability of ICX switches until Q4 2024 might impact the portfolio's immediate adoption. While this move strengthens CommScope's position in the AV market, its success will depend on how well it competes with established AV networking solutions and its ability to deliver on promised performance enhancements.
CommScope's entry into the professional AV market with the RUCKUS Pro AV portfolio is a strategic move to capitalize on the growing convergence of IT and AV technologies. This expansion could potentially open up new revenue streams for CommScope, especially in high-end residential and commercial AV installations. The cloud-based remote management services offer an attractive recurring revenue model for AV MSPs. However, the market is competitive with established players like Crestron and QSC already offering integrated AV networking solutions. CommScope's success will hinge on its ability to leverage its enterprise networking expertise and brand recognition to gain market share. The positive testimonials from industry partners like WhyReboot and Blackwire Designs suggest initial market acceptance, but long-term adoption rates and financial impact remain to be seen.
