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.

From the team that’s brought you successful NAC implementations for over 15 years! Join us for the second Tech Talk episode with the Carolina Advanced Digital crew. In this episode, Mark and Jen (and Ron if we can coax him) will cover:

• a vendor-neutral look at planning for NAC
• best and common practices plus “gotchas”
• phased approaches for implementing NAC
• vendor comparisons
• a short intro to FortiNAC including a demo
• updates on the product roadmap (at least whatever we can share that’s not NDA).

In future Tech Talks we’ll be covering Aruba’s ClearPass, and vendor-neutral topics of dynamic segmentation and Zero Trust Network architectures. This first NAC session will lay some groundwork for later.

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.

• 802.11ax/Wi-Fi 6, features and how/when to upgrade
• Update on wired needs for Wi-Fi
• New security standards, WPA3, Open Enhanced, and SAE
• On the horizon Wi-Fi 6e and what you should know
• Non-Wi-Fi wireless, CBRS and Private LTE moving in
• The real scoop on BLE, Location Services, and Contact/Proximity Tracing
• Today’s hot topic- MAC randomization, impact on guest portals, BYOD, and NAC; what behavior OS’s have, and how to work around it
• COVID and Wi-Fi, supporting expansions, pop-ups and more
• What’s new from our partners- Aruba’s announcements of AOS 10, Fortinet and the future of legacy Meru controllers, what’s cooking at Mist

Join Tech Talk episode 4 with the Carolina Advanced Digital crew. In this episode, Jen along with Dan and Mark (or whoever she can grab) will take a look back at the chaos of COVID-19 as organizations scrambled to work through remote access and the cleanup we need to do afterwards. Hosted by Jennifer Minella.
