Good Day Everyone Jeff and Ryan (NETMAN) have proposed on their feed a (TBD) rolling virtual meeting. We have had great luck with the 2 teams working together. In that spirit, please reply to this email or NETMAN with possible topics on what you would like to talk about...
Happy 2021 NETMAN (and WIRELESS-LAN). To help get the year off to a good start, we have been brainstorming for our next few virtual sessions. Below is a short synopsis of a couple of the ideas we are considering, please take a look and let us know if these would be of interest. Suggestions for other topics are welcome and as always we appreciate your feedback. Our goal for 2021 is to try and establish a regular cadence for our virtual meetups and we are aiming to have one every 6-8 weeks. Once we have the topics confirmed, we will send out some tentative dates and get a poll going. 1. IT Plans for the new normal – What is your campus planning for IT staff as we begin to move towards some sort of normalcy? Will you return to campus full time, is remote the new normal, or is your school somewhere in between. This virtual meetup will be an open discussion on how these changes, have and will continue to change how we operate. 2. LAN/Campus designs and best practices - Based on the recent activity on NETMAN, this virtual session will focus on LAN/Campus network design and deployment as well as a discussion around best practices. 3. POE future state – The need or in some cases demand for powering devices from the network is escalating. How are your organizations meeting this need? What are the challenges on the horizon: lighting, building/facility management systems, card access…. As always, we appreciate your suggestions and feedback.
