BETT 2024 Recap

What an incredible show the RUCKUS Team had at BETT 2024. We certainly brought the RUCKUS back to BETT again after so many amazing highlights and memories were made.

On Day 1, we kicked off with a session in the Esports theatre entitled "Level Up: Kickstarting your Esports journey in education with RUCKUS Networks". It was great to be joined by two RUCKUS customers for a discussion of how to leverage RUCKUS Networks to create a robust, high-performance network infrastructure that supports schools and universities in their esports journeys. Richard Leadbetter was joined by Matthjis Vink from the H20 Esports Arena in Amsterdam (the largest esports arena in Europe) and Alice Whorley from the British Esports Federation (the largest esports body in the UK).  It was a really insightful discussion that engaged the audience.

Throughout the 3 days, we had a live esports demo on our stand, hosting schools from all over the UK who were participating in the BETT Rocket League Championships, playing practice tournaments.

We hosted a second session on day 2 called "Top marks in sight for education industry with network convergence, cloud, AI, and Wi-Fi 7". In this session, we shared the story of Gardener Schools' lean IT strategy and how it enabled them to deliver the best student learning experience with an AI-driven, cloud-managed converged network and Wi-Fi 7. Joining Mittal Parekh from RUCKUS Networks, was Jessen Chen (Director of Operations, Gardener Schools Group) and Nick Donoghue from our elite partner EducAite.

There were hundreds of attendees who visited the RUCKUS booth over the three days. In addition to live in-booth demos of our primary education solutions, we gave away RUCKUS puppies to claw machine winners. Our primary focus areas were developing a winning Esports network, leveraging an AI-driven converged network for lean IT while improving learning environments with IoT.

RUCKUS + British Esports Partnership

Esports isn’t all about gaming. Scholastic Esports goes beyond the game. A STEM-based curriculum and competitive gaming can provide the best outcomes for students in terms of life lessons and skills. Because of this, RUCKUS Networks is collaborating with British Esports to support Esports programs in schools.

A week before BETT 2024, Britain's national esports federation, British Esports, selected RUCKUS Networks as its preferred networking provider for seamless connectivity at the National Esports Performance Campus in Sunderland for the next generation of elite gamers.

It was a pleasure to showcase our partnership at BETT 2024 and participate in a panel discussion with British Esports.

Thank you!
