These monthly live webcasts are aimed at explaining how emerging technologies will impact the network infrastructures currently in place and under development. We are focused on preparing you to create the resilient network that enables organizations to achieve a maximum usable network lifespan by providing insight into relevant standards and technologies.

AV technologies are advancing rapidly, and the amount of video traffic crossing IP networks is growing at a rate of 25% every year. By 2021, it’s expected that one million minutes of video traffic will cross global IP networks every single second. With that kind of demand, it’s more important than ever to install an AV system that not only delivers flawless image quality with low latency but also delivers the scalability and flexibility needed to expand your system. Attend this webinar to learn best practices for enterprise AV systems.

This webinar will cover:
-AV technologies available today and on the horizon
-Benefits of migrating your AV system to the IP network
-How to select the right solution to avoid potential pitfalls.

3 Key Essentials for Moving AV to the LAN

According to Global Market Insights, the smart lighting market is expected to grow to $8.5 billion by 2023. Smart lighting will quickly become the preferred technology for lighting in schools, hospitals and other enterprise facilities.

Together with Cree, a leading LED lighting solutions manufacturer, we will discuss and answer those questions. Attend this webinar to learn:
-What smart lighting is
-Why you should integrate it into your LAN
-Best practices for installing a smart lighting solution

Realize the Future: How to Integrate Smart Lighting into Your Network

According to the Cisco VNI forecast, global IP traffic is expected to nearly triple between the years 2015 and 2020. Advancements in wireless and A/V technologies are also driving up the demand for bandwidth. As buildings become more connected and more intelligent, the amount of data flowing through your network will continue to increase exponentially. Installing Cat 6A solves the bandwidth challenge in the horizontal. But what about the fiber backbone that needs to support all of those additional 10Gbps drops? And how about  wireless access points or security cameras that you need to connect and power out in the parking garage that far exceed the 100 meter distance limitation? This 30-minute webinar will present several solutions for maintaining the reach you need for maximum performance while supporting an ever-increasing amount of bandwidth over your network.

Attend this webinar if you want to learn about:
