EVENTS EVENT RECAP: EMEA WEBINARS HIGHLIGHT WI-FI TROUBLESHOOTING AND MICRO DATA CENTERS This past July, the EMEA Region hosted two BICSI webinars via ZOOM, each worth one BICSI CEC. "Simplifying Wi-Fi Troubleshooting" This webinar explained how to get to the root of a Wi-Fi problem. Speaker, Stefan Klotzbuechar, principal consultant at a WLAN- focused consultancy, discussed some of the newer Wi-Fi technol- ogy/standards changes and how you can understand key RF/Wi-Fi problem areas. He also reviewed best practices to resolve the problems. Thank you to netAlly for sponsoring this webinar. "Moving to the Edge with Micro Data Centers" Sony Mathew, Corporate Account Manager at Tripp Lite Middle East, spoke about the rise of edge computing and the emerging need to implement micro data centers within facilities. He explained how micro data centers conveniently and cost-effectively enable edge computing in locations where dedicated IT space is unavailable or cost-prohibitive to retrofit. We thank Tripp-Lite for sponsoring this webinar. More than 300 individuals attended each webinar. This included nonmembers, as well—what a great way to introduce nonmem- bers to the incredible resource BICSI is to the ICT community! See page 20 for details on our next EMEA webinar. Join us for a remote BICSI Virtual ICT (vICT) Forum— Powered by BICSI. This is our new way to hold region meetings while ensuring participants remain at a safe social distance.
