WiFi Fest 2025 – Kun verkot kohtaavat
Joulukuun pimeys ei estä valoa – se vain vahvistaa WiFin signaalia. Ja mihin muualle kannattaisi suunnata kuin vuoden kuumimmille – langattomille festareille?
WiFi Fest 2025 kokoaa jälleen yhteen koko maailman – ja ehkäpä universuminkin – WiFi-kermaa. Täällä katsotaan, mitä langattomille verkoille kuuluu juuri nyt, millaisia innovaatioita tulevaisuus tuo tullessaan, miten nopeasti maailma muuttuu ja pysyykö nykyiset verkkomme enää maailmanmuutoksessa mukana.
Tapahtuma on kaksiosainen:
Aamupäivällä pureudutaan WiFin nykytilanteeseen ja kurkistetaan kaukoputkella tulevaisuuteen yhdessä Elliot Townsendin ja Dobias Van Ingenin kanssa. Teemme katsauksen Jussi Kiviniemen johdolla WiFi-verkon suunnitteluun ja siihen, miten tekoäly voi siinä auttaa. Lopuksi luvassa asiakasnäkökulmaa verkon käyttöönotosta ja ylläpidosta – ja siitä, miten verkot vaikuttavat liiketoiminnan arkeen.
Iltapäivällä syvennytään tekniikan syövereihin ja löydetään parhaat käytännöt kentällä havaittuihin haasteisiin, kun Stephen Cooper, Tomi Järventie ja Robert Boardman jakavat näkemyksiään.
