  • Fundamentals of 802.11ac

    -

    The TechWiseTV Fundamentals of 802.11ac was developed and released in 2012 to educate the market on the upcoming WiFi standard and showcase Cisco’s leadership. The 5G wireless standard had only been ratified by the IEEE in January of 2014. But in 2012, competition for increased wireless speeds and the rush to dominate replacement of 802.11n devices was key for the industry.

    The TechWiseTV Fundamentals of 802.11ac was developed and released in 2012 to educate the market on the upcoming WiFi standard and showcase Cisco’s leadership. The 5G wireless standard had only been ratified by the IEEE in January of 2014. But in 2012, competition for increased wireless speeds and the rush to dominate replacement of 802.11n devices was key for the industry. This 23rd episode of the popular "Fundamentals' series focused on correcting misinformation from the vendor hype, setting appropriate expectations about performance and simplifying key technical elements. All of this was to be done with the graphics, humor and subtle geek references that the TechWiseTV audience expects. The 2012 Emmy Committee placed this animated video in the category for "Outstanding Achievement for Informational/Instructional Programming Program/Special/ Series/Feature/Segment.”

    This years successful nomination, “Connect to the Future” found itself in the category for "Outstanding Crafts Achievement Off Air: Director - Post Production.” A specialized one-off creation commissioned by the Enterprise Networks team for their Cisco Live 2013 ‘Game Changer’ launch.

    Credit to Director Steve Ewertz for his leadership made sense for this one. Despite multiple script re-writes with input from multiple Cisco departments and executives traveling overseas, all work was leading toward one important and specific day. The concept, an homage to the 1985 movie ‘Back to the Future’, centered on the iconic time traveling DeLorean for its punch. The team had found only one car to use for this…owned by a couple out of North Carolina. As luck, and planning would have it, access to the car was available for ONE day only as it traveled between West Coast events in May 2013.
