Mobility Field Day has become a staple in my annual calendar. So much so that last year, I even got to be a delegate at MFD13 . If you're not familiar with the MFD events (well, all of the Tech Field Day events really), they're a multiday event where companies present their newest products, innovations, and updates to a panel of industry professionals (in my case, we use that term a little…
Is it really almost April? I know it's been a bit quiet around here, but I've been pretty swamped at work with projects. And while this is a "personal" blog, I also don't believe in the "rise and grind work stuff every day" mentality anymore. While I certainly understand that some folks have a need for this, especially early on in their career, I'm no longer in that place. Don't get me wrong, I've…
When I was out at Juniper Network's AI Native Now event in San Diego I had a chance to chat with Network Chuck about AI and my good buddy Marvis. Here's a 14 minute video of the chat!
I've written about the AP47 previously , but I finally got my hands on one! While I just got the full lab upgraded to AP45's last fall, I received an AP47 from my friends at Juniper a couple of weeks ago while I was on the road for work. They asked me to let folks know what I think of it and see how it compares. And while I'm not going to be rushing into upgrading my AP45s, that's mostly because…
Private Cellular has been around for quite a few years. It's always been a technology that I thought had some great applications, but the complexity and applicability made it a challenge to talk with my clients about. While various solutions have popped up to make it easier, they still require a good amount of overhead. I also have to admit that I'm not *super* familiar these days, as it hasn't…
It's hard to believe it's been a whole year since Mobility Field Day 11, where Juniper made some huge announcements that I wrote about . What a ride it's been since then! This year, I was honored to be invited to be a delegate at Mobility Field Day 13 because of my coverage of Mobility Field Day 11. As a delegate, I was in the room when Juniper Networks continued its track record of making awesome…
Today, Juniper announced (well, finally made a public announcement anyway) a new entry-level access switch. A few select groups, including the Juniper MistFits, were able to get a sneak peek at the EX4000. The datasheet was also available for folks working on E-Rate deals (this is a great switch for those projects), and pricing has been available to select partners, so the secret has been somewhat…
I know I'm behind on when a lot of people do these, but every year I struggle with if I want to even do one or not. I have some mixed feelings about the whole "what am I doing this year" in part because a lot of what I do every year is driven by whats needed by my job. So I end up changing course based on what partner requirements come up, what projects come up, etc. But this year I figured, why…
I was able to attend Juniper Networks' AI-Native NOW virtual event this last week. It was a great way to end the 2024 year of AI-Native NOW events. And this last event of the year did not disappoint! While the format was similar to other events this year, the content was not the same. During the event, we heard updated information from all the Juniper business units as well as new and different…
Today, Juniper announced several additions to its wired and wireless portfolio aimed at helping their customers take advantage of the new Wi-Fi 7 standard. Chief among them is a new Wi-Fi 7 certified access point (well, three of them, but I’ll get to that!). I had the pleasure of discussing the new Juniper AP47s with some folks from Juniper, and I am very excited to dive into my initial thoughts…
