– 5400 v3 modules- New 40GbE and QSFP support, MACsec for link encryption, enhanced QoS, DLDP, OpenFlow enhancements and Distributed Trunking enhancements. Overview of interoperability and performance upgrades.
Join us for the first of our Thursday Tech Talk series with the Carolina Advanced Digital crew. In this episode, we have a friend from Mist joining us to talk about returning safely to work with contact and proximity tracing inside the organization, how it’s different than the public-private app partnerships, and then we’ll hop over to a demo of Mist’s AI-based Wi-Fi, show you what’s going on in our office, and offer a sneak peek at some upcoming news.
In our third shorter episode, we’ll take a vendor-neutral look at the Wi-Fi technology and trends shaping today and tomorrow. Join Shital and Jen for the latest trends in WiFi 6 (802.11ax), WiFi 6e, cloud-managed solutions, security integrations, CBRS, and more. We’ll talk about what’s real, what’s hype, and how to start planning for what’s on the horizon. Since it’s a shorter session we’ll try to manage Q&A throughout. Hosted by Jennifer Minella.

You’re invited to join Carolina Advanced Digital and Zscaler for our “It Starts with Zero” webinar on Thursday. May 19 at 10:00am ET
Zero trust is based on the principle that no entity—user, device, or application—should be inherently trusted. Instead, access is granted using identity and business policy, and it changes based on context. By removing access and security from the constructs of the network, zero trust reduces complexity and increases security.
Join us for a discussion on the topics below:
- Modernizing your network to reduce technical debt and cut networking costs for internet-bound traffic
- Strengthening security posture by implementing a zero trust approach
- Empowering work from anywhere with a better user experience and more visibility
- Securely providing corporate access to any user on any device from any location
- Promoting alignment between IT objectives and business initiatives
