In this blog, we’ll explore some of the equipment we use for a pre-deployment survey. This is typically the second stage of an RF design - the predictive survey first and the pre-deployment survey second.

As a CIO you’ll need to decide not only the technology direction your organisation will take, but more importantly when you will decide to deploy. Wi-Fi is a fundamental networking technology for any business. If you haven't yet upgraded to Wi-Fi 6, here's our CIOs guide for when you should do this.

It’s probably fair to say that most of us don’t enjoy dealing with any kind of licensing fulfilment because the experience can be somewhat daunting. Cisco offers the use of Cisco Smart Licensing as a way to ease the burden of network device licensing.
