- Thread-topic: [Rockies-Edu] Wi-Fi Presentation Series with Apple (Mike Scott)
Ditto for the presentation in Loveland. I’ve gone to at least one other
Apple wifi presentation (Loveland last year also) and it was great. This
one was even greater : )
My only regret was not having any of my network admins with me. I’m going
to try and rectify that for the next presentation (fingers crossed).
Best thing is I think that this will help us in the near future. I hear
rumors that we will be increasing the use of, and the importance of, iPads
(and other wireless devices) at the college. The meeting today did not
make me a network administrator, but I now have a very good grasp of
issues and questions to ask for our own infrastucture requirements.
Thanks,
