| Hello Rockies List,
The wireless seminars are locked in and the registration pages are live. Please read below for further details on what this seminar is all about, and how it might benefit you and your institution. Please note that the Loveland and Springs locations will meet from 10:00 am - 12:00 pm, while the Denver location will meet from 9:00 am - 11:00 am. I will be presenting the material for this seminar series, and each event will be identical in regards to the information presented. You only need to attend 1!
April 23 in Loveland, 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
April 24 in Colorado Springs, 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
April 25 in Denver, 9:00 am - 11:00 am
We are happy to have a western CO event if there are any interested hosts. You can send an email directly to me, if so.
The main goal of this seminar series is to educate customers on the wifi technologies used in education environments. In both K-12 and Higher Education environments, rock-solid wireless is crucial to the success of the organization. I hear repeatedly how "really good wifi" is in the top 3 priorities of education customers, and many times it comes in at #1 (from the technical perspective). I also follow some 1:1 leaders on Twitter, and have seen repeated posts praising their great wifi setup after cursing the sub-par network that was replaced at any given point in time. It really is the technical foundation of any wireless initiative, whether it be 1:1, BYOD, community center, etc.
With this in mind, we are aiming to demystify 802.11 networks. We will discuss what all of that information means when you option-click on your wifi menu item in the menu bar, and we'll explain why your iPhone 5 feels so much faster on wifi than your buddy's iPhone 4S (hint: it's not just the chip). What is the difference between 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz? What does channel overlap mean and is it the cause of slow performance in my building? What is a spatial stream? How can one computer get 270 Mbps throughput, when the person sitting next to you is only getting 26 Mbps?
We'll cover all of this and more. Please join us!
Thanks,
Corey
