I’m sure by now most have seen this story from various sources where the girl’s pregnancy was figured out by Target using analytic data before her dad knew.

There’s a common theme going on here lately in the wireless industry. All of a sudden there is this huge push for quality management tools. We’ve heard about it from many different vendors and one vendor has an interesting play: a partially vendor agnostic solution. With Aruba’s AirWave product you are monitoring the health of…

In my haste configuring my 7 nodes I…
In case you haven’t heard yesterday some news leaked out a littler earlier than it should have via social media causing Cisco and Meraki to react and confirm that Cisco intends to buy Meraki for $1.2billion. If you have listened to me over on the NSA Show podcast you’ll know that I am a fan…
Coming up in September will be the 3rd installment of the Wireless Field Day events and I was trying to think of a fun play on the event, how can we relate this to something out there people know about? I came up with the idea that the Wireless Field Day events are kind of…
