As much as I hate to admit it, Fortinet is more than just "those guys who bought Meru." In fact they are way more than just a wireless company. As we already know, Fortinet is best known in the industry as a security company with a rock solid reputation. The truth is, Fortinet is a … Continue reading From the Edge to the Air, Fortinet’s Full Stack End to End Solution
Mist Systems was another Mobility Field Day alumnus who chose to return and show us what they have been working on over the last year. Mist has a very solid product line driven by a who's who of individuals from the wireless industry. For a refresher on who Mist is, check out this video from … Continue reading Moms Love Mist
Nyansa was back at Mobility Field Day again this year and I have to admit, I took away more from them this year than last. Nyansa makes a product called Voyance which delivers a crazy amount of data and insight into your network. You might think you have a good idea about what is going … Continue reading Nyansa; A Clearer Picture From a Data Gathering Powerhouse at #MFD3

We have had … Continue reading Dear FortiRu; An Open Letter of Affection, Disappointment, and Encouragement

Many of us were very excited to see some of the newly added features and it seems as though there is even … Continue reading NETSCOUT AirCheck G2 v2.0
A few weeks ago at Mobility Field Day 2 I was afforded the opportunity to listen to a presentation from the fine people of NETSCOUT (all capitals because that is how Kendall Hershey told me it should be). It was somewhat of a reunion for Brennan, Rob, and myself as we had established a relationship … Continue reading NETSCOUT – Nuthin’ But a G(2) Thang
I recently had the opportunity to listen to a presentation from Mist Systems at Mobility Field Day 2 in San Jose. At first glance/listen Mist might sound like just another controller-less "cloud" wifi solution that touts a shiny dashboard and user analytics. They even toss around trendy new buzzwords such as "AI" and "machine learning." … Continue reading Through the Mist; Predictable, Reliable, and Measurable Wifi from Mist Systems
The excitement for MFD2 has been building for awhile now and I can tell you we are in store for a great couple of days.
