Arris announced Thursday that it has tapped Ian Whiting as the new president of its Enterprise Networks segment, Ruckus Networks.
The move comes roughly six months after Arris closed on its $800 million purchase of the Ruckus Wireless and ICX Switch business from Broadcom.
Whiting, chief commercial officer of Ruckus Networks, will replace Dan Rabinovitsj, who joined Arris after the acquisition and is leaving after heading up “the successful integration of Ruckus Networks,” the company said. Rabinovitsj will pursue a new opportunity in the technology arena, according to Arris.
Whiting will take the helm effective July 1, reporting to Arris CEO Bruce McClelland.
With more than 25 years of sales, marketing operations and management experience in IT and networking, Whiting previously played a key role in growing Ruckus’ presence in vertical markets like education, MDU, government and service providers.
Arris has sought to leverage Ruckus’ assets to extend its offerings in converged wired and wireless networking technologies beyond the home, as well as help it become a player in the emerging market for CBRS-enabled products.
