Powering Partner Success:
RUCKUS Innovation + Exclusive E-Rate Advantage
📅 Thursday, November 6 | ⏰ 2:00 PM EST | 11:00 AM PST

Join Exclusive Networks and RUCKUS for a hands-on technical session designed to help partners master the next generation of campus switching — and see how to turn technical insights into funded opportunities through E-Rate.

Technical Focus:
Marshall Evans, Sr. Solutions Engineer at Exclusive Networks, leads an in-depth exploration of the RUCKUS ICX 8100 and 8200 series — the successors to the ICX 7150 line. You’ll learn what’s changing, what’s not, and where these switches fit best.

Marshall will break down:

  • When to quote the 8100 vs. the 8200
  • How to transition from 7150 models
  • Core capabilities including 10GbE uplinks, fanless operation, and Layer 2 vs. Layer 3 considerations
  • Key design and deployment scenarios that simplify access layer performance

    You’ll also get real-world guidance on how Exclusive Networks’ engineering and professional services — including provisioning, firmware management, and managed delivery — help partners streamline deployments and improve time to value.

    E-Rate Alignment:
    Once the technical groundwork is set, Richard Nedwich, SLED Sales Director, will demonstrate how these same solutions align to E-Rate opportunities. Learn how Exclusive Networks’ E-Rate as a Service helps partners identify, fund, and close switching projects with dedicated support, marketing enablement, and white-glove guidance from start to finish.

    By combining RUCKUS innovation, Exclusive Networks’ engineering expertise, and our E-Rate enablement services, this session will show you how to deliver technical excellence and business growth — all in one motion.
