The way we have created content has changed immensely over the past years. When the iPad first came out I was a little skeptical as it really was just a large iPhone and had minimal functionality for content creation. Content consumption on the other hand was always something that the iPad did excel at. Within…
Awhile ago I wrote about the AirCheck and what I felt it needed in terms of a device refresh (https://blakekrone.com/check-check-123-aircheck/), it would seem that netAlly took some of those cues in their latest update to the EtherScope nXG.

Cisco Aironet Developer Platform A few months ago I had heard about a solution Cisco was working on to provide developers access to the modular interface on the AP3800. Cisco, for awhile, has had some sort of modularity in their high end AP but it was reserved for future standards or Cisco specific solutions. The…
In case you missed it Learning@Cisco as finally announced their plan for Continuing Education Credits as a way to renew your CCIE instead of having to take an exam.

Mobility Field Day 1 is just 1 week away so I thought I would take a moment to discuss what’s in a name? While this is the first Mobility event it isn’t the first Wireless related Tech Field Day event. We had 8 prior Wireless Field Day events over the past couple of years that…
