RUCKUS Networks, a Belden brand, has expanded its presence in India by leveraging Belden’s manufacturing capabilities in Pune to produce ICX® ethernet switching solutions for customers across the country.

The expansion marks a key step following Belden’s acquisition of RUCKUS Networks, combining the companies’ capabilities across engineering, innovation, manufacturing and customer support. The Pune facility strengthens RUCKUS Networks’ end-to-end presence in India, extending its footprint beyond research, development and customer engagement into manufacturing operations.

India serves as a key hub for RUCKUS Networks’ global operations, with Bengaluru housing its largest global site for R&D and customer success. The company also operates a Research & Design Centre in Chennai in collaboration with the Indian Institute of Technology Madras Research Park (IITMRP), supporting software development, engineering talent and networking innovation.

“By bringing RUCKUS Networks into Belden’s local manufacturing footprint, we are building on our long-standing presence in India to better serve customers and support the country’s continued growth as a global hub for innovation and production,” said Dr. Ashish Chand, President and CEO, Belden.

The Pune manufacturing expansion will support RUCKUS Networks in strengthening distribution, operational capabilities and customer support across India. The initiative aligns with the country’s focus on domestic electronics manufacturing and increasing value addition under the Make in India agenda.
