Back in May, #MFD9 – Mobility Field Day 9 Juniper Networks unveiled their long-awaited cloud NAC solution (Check out my write-up on #MFD9 – Juniper Presents); Juniper branded it as Access Assurance, it also included all the features from IoT Assurance. I am not an expert NAC architect; My experience has been with the on-perm solutions. Anyone who has deployed a NAC knows all the…
After watching Arista Networks present at #MFD8 (Mobility Field Day 8) and #MFD9 (Mobility Field Day 9), I noticed some changes in the UI. I was interested in understanding more with a primary focus on AGNI, UPSK (WPA3), WIPS, and MFR; see my previous blog post here. I was able to get a couple of Arista access points in…
Arista AP-C330 is a ceiling mount Wi-Fi 6E access point. Take a look at the Arista AP-C330, What’s in a Box. Simple packaging and other than the access point itself, I only found a mounting bracket. Simple to install and it fit on my Wi-Fi Stand also. Here is a short video of me installing the bracket….
As part of the “What’s in a Box” series, introducing Arista’s AP-W318 (Hospitality, Wall-plate AP), Arista announced AP-W318 during the #MFD9 – Arista Presents.

Two main things that caught my attention last time were MSSG and Live Trace. Since then, I have had a little…
I was introduced to Mist in 2019 during the WLPC 2020 event. I was impressed with all the features; however, one missing piece was their NAC solution. I had an opportunity to discuss the NAC solution with Mist; Mist understood the importance of their own NAC solution. Juniper Networks acquired WiteSand (a cloud-native, zero-trust, NAC…
I had the privilege to attend the Mobility Field Day #9 hosted by Tom Hollingsworth. This was the second time I got invited to the Mobility Field Day event with more delegates and more vendors presenting, I was extremely excited for the invite and an opportunity to engage. Check out the #MFD9 page and get…
One of the fun part when attending a WLPC is that at times you end up winning some cool gear from the vendors. This year during the 2023 WLPC, I ended up winning a Netgear WAX625 access point. Two different ways to manage it: After signing up for the Insight Pro account I went through…
