RUCKUS AI Updates

This section outlines the changes introduced in RUCKUS AI over time.

June 2026

  • The report page names and key metrics have been updated to improve clarity and better reflect historical, aggregated data. This enhancement introduces clearer naming for reports, distinguishes current and time-range-based metrics, and adds time-range labels to aggregated widgets for improved data interpretation.
  • In Data Studio Schedules, the new Send Now option enables schedule owners to send a test email from the configuration screen to validate recipients, content, filters, date range, and attachments without affecting the scheduled report delivery.

May 2026

  • AI Incidents have been enhanced to give customers greater control and visibility, including severity overrides, selective notifications, and full transparency into what AI is monitoring 24×7 behind the scenes. The updates add more control and transparency without increasing alert noise.
    Following are the key enhancements:
    • Enable/Disable AI Incidents: Network Administrators can turn individual incident types on or off based on relevance to their environment.
    • Override Incident Severity: Change AI-assigned Dynamic severity to a user-defined P1–P4 level when business context differs from AI analysis.
    • Targeted Notifications:
      • Configure email notifications only for incidents that matter most.
      • Reduces noise while keeping focus on high impact issues.
    • 24×7 Monitoring Transparency: Network Administrators can now view the full list of all incident types that RUCKUS AI is continuously monitoring in the background, even if no incident is currently triggered. This provides greater transparency into ongoing background analysis.
  • Business Insights backend has been significantly enhanced with a major upgrade, improving the overall analytics experience, performance, and platform robustness. This backend powers several pre‑built reports as well as Data Studio capabilities, including Charts, Dashboards, and the Gallery. The upgrade enables improved analytics interactions such as cross‑filtering across Charts, consistent color representation for the same data fields across visualizations, and includes important backend security enhancements. All existing Data Studio Charts and Dashboards have been automatically migrated and are fully compatible with the new backend version, ensuring continuity without requiring any customer action.

    In Data Studio table charts, disabling pagination limits the display to a maximum of 500 rows.

April 2026

  • The Health page includes the Switch Reachability KPI for wired networks. This KPI measures switch accessibility to the controller and displays the percentage of switches that are reachable. Switch reachability is determined based on whether switches are online and connected to the controller. This metric provides an overall view of switch connectivity and indicates potential connectivity issues.
  • Reports in PDF format across Business Insights no longer include a cover page background image. The first page now uses a plain white background with black text.

March 2026

  • In Wireless Network Health, the AP Capacity metric has been renamed to AP Downlink Throughput to represent the downlink throughput performance of AP radios more accurately while maintaining the same monitoring and SLA compliance functionality.

February 2026

  • The Health page includes Wired AI Infrastructure Health – Table Compliance KPIs for wired networks, including IPv4 Unicast Table Compliance, IPv6 Unicast Table Compliance, IPv4 Multicast Table Compliance, IPv6 Multicast Table Compliance, ARP Table Compliance, and MAC Table Compliance. These KPIs enable you to measure network compliance against SLA goals, with drill-down capability by network segment and time for detailed analysis. Support for these KPIs requires switches upgraded to FastIron firmware version 10.0.10h_cd1 or later.
  • Introduced Intent Settings, a capability that allows administrators to selectively enable or disable AI-driven features in the IntentAI automation framework, providing flexible control over which features participate in automated evaluation and management. When an Intent is disabled, it is excluded from AI processing, ensuring that only relevant Intents are actively managed.
  • The RUCKUS AI product logo has been updated across the UI to align with the latest RUCKUS Networks branding.

January 2026

  • Introduced Energy Saving (Beta), an AI-driven feature within the IntentAI framework that optimizes AP power consumption by dynamically transitioning eligible APs into PowerSave mode during low-usage periods, while neighboring APs continue to deliver uninterrupted Wi‑Fi service. The feature analyzes real-time and historical client activity to reduce energy usage and continuously adapts to maintain consistent network performance.
  • Introduced Energy Saving Report (Beta), which provides a tenant-level report of power usage and projected savings across all zones, including metrics such as Energy Saving status, engaged APs, power consumption, and estimated monthly savings.

December 2025

  • The IntentAI search filters have been enhanced with a redesigned Status filter that groups individual statuses into three action-related categories - Action Needed, Auto Managed, and No Action. The filter supports a two-level selection hierarchy that enables filtering the Intents by action-related category and then by specific Status for more refined filtering. In addition, the updated IntentAI landing page includes an interactive banner with feature-based widgets that dynamically filter intents based on user selection, with support for multi-select to further refine results.

October 2025

  • IntentAI has been enhanced to support applying Intents in the Verified state to optimize the network, in addition to those in the New state.

August 2025

  • Additional AI-Driven RRM metrics, including Neighbor AP metrics, Channel Distribution, and Power Transmission, have been added to the AI-Driven RRM page within IntentAI. These new metrics provide deeper insights into network congestion, channel utilization, and transmit power distribution, enabling more effective RF planning and optimization.
  • The user interface of the AI-Driven RRM wizard pages in IntentAI has been refined for improved usability and workflow alignment. The comparative interfering link graph, which was previously available on the Summary page, has now been moved to the Introduction page. Additionally, all metrics from the Introduction page are now also accessible on the Intent Details page, ensuring consistent visibility throughout the configuration process.
  • AI-Driven RRM now operates with the current data available to train its models and generate recommendations, accelerating first-time optimization. Previously, a minimum of four days of data was required for AI-Driven RRM to compute and display the recommendation patterns.
  • The Incidents page is enhanced with visibility controls, including a new Visibility column to clearly distinguish between muted and unmuted incidents in the Incidents table. A Visibility filter above the table allows filtering by all, muted, or unmuted incidents. By default, only unmuted incidents are shown; muted incidents remain hidden unless explicitly filtered. Additionally, multiple incidents can now be selected to perform bulk mute or unmute actions, streamlining incident management across multiple entries.
  • A new wired incident for Port Flap has been introduced, which detects switches with unstable ports that rapidly toggle between up and down states. The incident provides detailed visibility into affected ports, root cause analysis, and recommended corrective actions. This feature requires switches to run FastIron firmware version 10.0.10g or later as a prerequisite.
