Wi-Fi complaints can be vague. The data behind them doesn’t have to be. Currently in beta, Experience Metrics measures wireless end-to-end user experience on a selected network by tracking every user’s experience every minute. It brings four key metrics into view: 🔹 Wireless successful connections 🔹 Time to connect 🔹 Channel availability 🔹 Coverage Each metric includes a status, failure contributor, and failure rate—helping teams understand what is degrading the experience and whether failures are isolated or more broadly distributed. Ready to explore Experience Metrics? Opt in: Organization-wide > Configure > Early Access. Access Experience Metrics: Assurance > Analytics > Overview > Experience Metrics. Experience Metrics requires a minimum firmware of MR 27. See how Experience Metrics can help teams identify and investigate wireless experience issues. 👉 cs.co/6010BGe60j

Ready to prepare your network for AI workloads? You can't upgrade what you can't see. Together, Cisco and Auvik make network modernization seamless: • See everything: Map your entire mixed-vendor environment in real time. • Know what matters: Identify lifecycle risks, EOL devices, and performance bottlenecks. • Modernize with purpose: Prioritize hardware refreshes and build a scalable, AI-ready foundation safely. Turn visibility into actionable strategy and build an infrastructure ready for the future. 👉 Read the full blog to learn more: cs.co/6019B1LYHz

Does Wi-Fi still matter? A failed call between two people trying to meet may not sound like a major operational issue. But it is exactly the kind of ordinary moment that defines whether a guest believes the venue is connected. The same network also supports mobile tickets, event information, digital transactions and staff operations. There are lessons to be learned in high-density venue connectivity.

Wireless demand isn’t just growing—it’s exploding. ⚡ With billions of new devices hitting networks and AI workloads placing unprecedented pressure on infrastructure, campus Wi-Fi is reaching a critical inflection point. As legacy networks are pushed to their limits, expanded spectrum in the 6 GHz band provides the essential, high-speed capacity needed to stay ahead of the curve. Read more 👉 cs.co/6011BE2M3x

AI is set to triple network traffic over the next three years, and the industry is feeling the pressure. 93% of companies surveyed are already accelerating their network modernization plans to keep up. Learn how it’s not just about adding more capacity, it’s about building the network infrastructure for the trust, security, and visibility that AI demands See the new research from Cisco and Foundry: cs.co/6011BENkIJ

Quantum computing isn't just a future tech milestone; it’s a present-day security risk. With "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" (HNDL) tactics, encrypted data intercepted today could be vulnerable the moment quantum computers scale. That’s why Orange Business and Cisco are partnering to bring Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) to the global stage. Read more about it 👉 cs.co/6016BENZ5y

Cisco just dropped massive news at #CiscoLive in Las Vegas, making a huge play to become the foundational infrastructure layer for autonomous AI agents. The shift from humans clicking through dashboards to agents executing tasks at machine speed changes everything about networking, security, and observability. As Cisco's DJ Sampath put it: “A true collaborative operating model starts when agents are doing the heavy lifting and humans are constantly staying in control of what matters.” Read Network World's full analysis of the event: cs.co/6012B8loSw
