About the Ruckus Wireless Big Dog Partner Program
At Ruckus Wireless™, we’ve been designing, manufacturing, and marketing Smart Wi-Fi products and Smart Wireless LAN (WLAN) systems ever since we first opened our doors back in June of 2004. We hang our company hat on our Smart Wi-Fi technology, which uses an intelligent, high-gain directional antenna system and quality of service technologies to extend the range of Wi-Fi signals and automatically adapt to environmental changes. This results in Wi-Fi that, for the first time, reaches farther and is inherently more reliable. Our Smart Wi-Fi technology steers signals around interference, obstructions, and obstacles, to ensure unprecedented coverage and consistent performance.
Grow your business with ZoneFlex™
The goal of the Big Dog Partner Program is to enable you to grow your business and increase your profitability. We’ll show you everything you need to know about how to sell our unique ZoneFlex™ Smart Wireless LAN Systems, and we’ll provide the sales tools and marketing materials you need to introduce the technology to your customers and prospects. Ruckus provides its partners all the resources required to become ZoneFlex™ sales and technical experts, penetrate existing accounts, and acquire new WLAN customers.
Program Levels
Our partner program structure is straightforward and fully featured, just like our products themselves. If you’ve got the passion, we’ve got the program for you. The Big Dog Partner Program includes two levels:
- Top Dog
- Top Dogs are experts in implementing Ruckus’ Smart Wi-Fi Technology solutions. They are consistent top performers that constantly invest in building a successful wireless practice built on the ZoneFlex product line. In return for committing sales, technical, and marketing resources, Ruckus rewards Top Dogs with the highest discount level and makes significant investments to ensure their continued success.
- Big Dog
- Big Dogs have achieved proven success with ZoneFlex solutions and are committed to the continued adoption of Ruckus Smart Wi-Fi technologies. This tier requires Sales and Sales Engineering to complete certification training. Many partners start as Big Dogs and work their way up to become Top Dogs.
