In December 2015, I was travelling to Canada and along the way took note of the Wi-Fi installations. I know it's a bit geeky.. when you work in Wi-Fi a while you kind of naturally end up looking at the ceiling in a lot of buildings.. and assessing how well Wi-Fi is installed when you travel overseas.

I work for a Cisco Partner who employs around 15 engineers, predominantly designing and optimising Wireless networks. We were awarded an amazing opportunity in the first quarter of 2020 : designing and implementing the wired and wireless network for a hospital destined as a COVID recovery facility. And best of all: have it operational in 6 weeks of[…]

It can be a bit of an inconvenience when you're travelling and you can't access your email - when you need to work and have some[…]

I've been wanting to write a blog for a little while now on the subject of teamwork. This, of course, is against the backdrop of what we do as a company - network design and commission. For many outsiders, it's a surprise to see that there's actually a fair bit of manual work in network deployment, and there in lies the great opportunity to work and[…]

I took my Cisco CCIE around 18 years ago now, but like everyone who's attempted the lab, you don't forget it quickly! Passing the lab is no easy feat - there's a pre-qualification exam, followed by the lab itself.
