Alcadis makes history: the only Platinum Distribution Partner of RUCKUS Networks in the Benelux

September 12, 2026 - After more than 18 years, the moment has arrived: Alcadis has achieved the coveted Platinum status from RUCKUS Networks, making it the premier destination in the Benelux for inquiries, support, and distribution. Across all of Europe, only four organizations share this partner status! Platinum is the highest recognition that RUCKUS Networks awards to its distributors. Alcadis was specifically nominated thanks to their thorough technical pre-sales expertise, process support, and availability of the right products and services.

An 18-year journey

The road to this partner status began in 2007, when Alcadis became the first distributor in the Benelux to embrace the revolutionary RUCKUS portfolio. Projects followed quickly. From Large Public Venues in cities including Eindhoven, Heerenveen, Mechelen, Ghent, and recently Amsterdam, to office, MDU, and hotel environments using RUCKUS SmartZone, Unleashed, and the AI-based RUCKUS One platform.

This development was possible because Alcadis, with a passion for technology and innovation, invested heavily in network services and a skilled staff. Nowhere else in the Benelux is there a RUCKUS distributor with so much experience in supporting network design, project management, and the delivery of Access Points, Switches, and other components. It is not without reason that the Alcadis motto is “Innovation Management Delivery”.

Maurice de Graaff, Commercial Director at Alcadis, comments: “We distinguish ourselves from other distributors because we have knowledge available both implicitly and explicitly; there is always a motivated and capable team ready to assist you in finding the best solution.” With this winning approach, Alcadis is supporting a growing number of partners in 2026 with the transition to Wi-Fi 7 and bringing substance to ‘Purpose-Driven Networks.’

Bet on the winning team.

In recent years, Alcadis has particularly focused on expanding their technical expertise to provide an appropriate answer for every project, whether it is a school, office, hotel, logistics center, factory, or any location where business continuity is critical. The team at the Houten-based distributor belongs to the absolute global elite, soon boasting 2 of the 600 CWNE-certified engineers worldwide and dozens of others with top-tier qualifications.

“For nearly 20 years, Alcadis has demonstrated that they know better than anyone how to best deploy RUCKUS Networks in the most diverse environments. For us, it was therefore a logical choice to grant them this partner status as a token of our confidence that if you, as a RUCKUS customer, reach out to Alcadis, you are in the best place in the Benelux,” says Steve Johnson, VP President of Sales EMEA at RUCKUS Networks.

What changes for me?

If you already purchase RUCKUS Networks through Alcadis, you will continue to benefit from the top-tier service you have enjoyed for over 18 years. Just like in previous years, Alcadis continues to offer the best support for projects, organize training sessions and events, and, of course, assist with your projects. As a Platinum Distributor, Alcadis also gains even more capabilities to provide marketing support, helping partners to position RUCKUS Networks as strongly as possible in the market.
