In this blog series, I wanted to explore what a Wireless First strategy looks like for a number of customer verticals. Universities have extensive demands on their wireless infrastructure. Should Wi-Fi be the technology of choice for Universities?

Managed Services are designed to complement a business's systems, processes and people in the management of ICT assets. Internal staff are often stretched between BAU work and working on strategic initiatives and projects for the business. Managed Services helps resolve this – and a range of other issues for a business. In this blog, we’ll take a look[…]

For a while now Cisco has had both the Meraki and Cisco product sets. While these both have a part to play in the market and in meeting customer requirements, the strategy from Cisco is really to combine these two technologies. In this blog, we’ll take a look at how Cisco is combing the best from their Meraki and Cisco product sets.

In this blog, we’re going to cover a couple of topics – we’ll start with a look at how you get the most from the Meraki equipment you have deployed and take a look over the new features that Meraki has added to the dashboard – let’s get started!

All customers are different! Sounds simple but there is never a truer statement when it comes to Managed Services. Whether its engineering capabilities and team structures, budgetary restrictions, technology stack or pain points all of these vary on scales for each customer. With this mixture of customers, it no longer makes sense to offer customers[…]

One of the common questions I get surrounds the use of Wi-Fi 6 and 5G. Both Wi-Fi 6 and 5G now promise users much higher download speeds and a much more interactive user experience thanks to this. Why then don’t we all just abandon Wi-Fi 6 and use 5G – especially in the corporate environment, where there are internal costs for deploying a wireless LAN.

CT Scanners are a pretty impressive looking bit of clinical technology. At what must be an anxious time for patients, it's nice to see how the hospitals are working hard to make a nicer environment for patients.

The Cisco 9104 AP is designed for a particular use case – generally that’s stadiums. The AP has a high-gain antenna with built in AP. There are some features we’ve not seen before on a Cisco AP – dynamically configurable antennas, with the advantage of a third radio.

The Cisco 9800 WLC comes in a range of options, from the high throughout 9800-80 down to the cloud based virtual WLCs. The controller has a number of built in features that help increase the uptime of the controller – something you’d expect with a high-end wireless controller from Cisco.

There are three main components to a Wi-Fi Access Point, each of which are critical to its function: Radio Antenna The CPU There are many different ways to split the three components above, but every Wi-Fi solution has all three components.
