Ruckus, founded in 2004, sells what it calls smart Wi-Fi to mobile telephone service providers and enterprises to extend their wireless networks and mobile services and help beat what has been called the "capacity gap." This is a hybrid cellular and Wi-Fi market.
In the S-1 Ruckus discloses that revenue increased from $47.4 million in the first half of 2011 to $93.9 million for the first half of 2012. The company made a net loss of $900,000 in 1H11 and a net income of $24.4 million in 1H12, although $17.4 million of that income related to the release of the valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets.
