The roots of the cooperation with Ruckus go back to the year 2000, when Controlware was an official Foundry reseller (Foundry Certified Partner) with direct reference in the USA. Foundry was purchased by Brocade at the end of 2008 and integrated into the existing product portfolio. After Ruckus Wireless was acquired by Brocade in 2016, Broadcom acquired Brocade in November 2017. The former Ruckus Wireless including the Brocade Edge portfolio (ICX series) was acquired by ARRIS in December 2017 and represented in Europe by the former Ruckus organization, which continues to carry the Ruckus brand. ARRIS was finally acquired by CommScope in April 2019.
