• 1 book mobile with full network managed by KDL IT
• 400,000+ service area population with 200,000+ card holders
• Nearly one million items circulated annually
Wireless
802.11ax Enhanced Reliability8X8 Deterministic capacity
Longer Battery LifeUp to 67%
High DensityHigh performance + clients
Higher ThroughputUp to 4.8 Gbps
Current Facts about 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6)
Pre-standard or not ratified as of today (Oct 4th, 2019)
• Expected to be ratified in late CY19
Most client devices today don’t support Wi-Fi 6
• New 802.11ax capable clients are expected to hit the market in late CY19
802.11ax APs are backward compatible with non-802.11ax clients
• Non-802.11ax clients can still benefit from Wi-Fi 6
802.11ax APs require new generation / more powerful chipsets
• Firmware updates cannot upgrade 802.11ac APs to 802.11ax
However…
• Samsung Galaxy S10 (released)
• iPhone 11 (released)
• Light rollout in 2019, broad adoption in 2020

Cloud Managed Security & SD-WAN: MX - Highlights
Who should a network manager contact?
What evidence can prove it is somebody
else’s fault?
MI’s FIRST page tells the user which point in the network is failing and causing a degradation
Within 2 clicks, user can drill down to generate specific evidence for the network outage
