Mission Critical WiFi - Roger Sands - Ep114

One of the biggest technology changes of the last 5-10 years for consumers as well as businesses has been the growth in the use of Wi-Fi. Today we almost feel it is our right to be connected to high performance, resilient and reliable wireless infrastructure so that we can remain online doing everything from updating social media to carrying out conference calls, the demand for wireless is endless. Wi-Fi also presents us with new challenges, its complex nature, amount of devices and speed of growth are making managing and delivering reliable and enterprise-class wireless increasingly difficult, how then do we look to ensure the quality of our wireless networks to meet these business mission-critical demands? That is the topic of this week's podcast as I chat with Roger Sands, CEO at Wyebot. Roger has 25 years' experience in the IT industry with the last 15 of those spent working in the Wi-Fi space, in that time he has seen a huge growth in demand and of course a massive growth in complexity and challenge of delivering Wi-Fi to our modern connectivity hungry world. We chat about; The trend to "mission-critical" Wi-Fi Is Wi-Fi architecture "growing up"? Wi-Fi complexity presenting new challenges Little problems cause big issues The security risk Importance of Wi-Fi intelligence to augment our IT teams The Wyebot approach Why you need Wi-Fi assurance One of the great values of doing this show is learning about something new and this chat with Roger was a great example of that, the critical nature of Wi-Fi was not something I'd considered and in my experience is still considered a nice to have benefit rather than core infrastructure, Roger shares some great insights into why that needs to change and how to do it and I hope you found it as useful as I did.
