Wi-Fi 7 access points are here - but is it worth the upgrade?
We've been hearing about the promises it brings:
✅ Lower latency for your mission-critical apps
✅ Multi-Link Operation (MLO) for more efficient connections
✅ Higher capacity for IoT & high density environments

You ever cross your fingers when rebooting a switch remotely? Wish you had faster boot times! Juniper Networks came out with the EX4000 with a 2 minute boot time!
⏱️ What’s the longest you’ve waited for a switch to reboot? I’m curious who’s got the longest wait! #sponsored

Wi-Fi validation surveys help to provide a view of what Wi-Fi looks like in a given space.
I always recommend completing one. Also check with your eyes. Are APs mounted correctly? Is the Ethernet plugged in? If so, is the cable plugged into the right access point port?

Rushed to finished an order on Dec 31st ‘24. Sent the shipping address to the distributor. But my PO to them had our mailing address. When you move too quickly you make mistakes but luckily it worked out. Got a truck in November and moved everything easily & in one trip to a secure location.

Locked in a big sale for us right before the ball dropped for the New Year. It was down to the last few hours of 2024. I have to say thanks to the partnership with Juniper and Ingram Micro for getting it past the finish line. Celebrated last night with my wife 🥳 What a way to end the year!
