Innovate education and provide differentiated curriculums utilizing BYOD with Cisco BYOD Solutions for K12 Education.
With 19 schools, 11,700 students, and an unreliable wireless infrastructure, Chapel Hill- Carrboro City Schools, , faced challenges in attempting to embrace BYOD. Without a pervasive wireless infrastructure, the school could not rise to meet the BYOD trend, much less create an enriched learning environment leveraging technology.
The Chapel Hill school district took its first steps into an enterprise wireless solution leveraging Cisco BYOD Solutions for K12 Education. With a pervasive, scalable and reliable wireless network, the school can now employ laptop carts for students to access information on the fly. Teachers can now leverage online resources directly from the classroom, and faculty can access district networks with their own devices.

No one could have imagined the fundamental impact the Internet would have on both society and the economy—changing our lives forever. The Internet has already transformed the way we work, live, play, and learn. And, this is only the beginning.
The extraordinary growth and transformation of the Internet is unprecedented, but what does the future of technology hold, and where is the Internet heading? Business executives, technologists, and policymakers are not only asking these questions—they also are looking for a map of the future that will help them assess changes in the Internet, and possible out-comes and implications of those changes for business, national policy, and regulation.
Recent research by Cisco IBSG has identified 10 major technology trends that we believe are shaping the direction of the Internet today and, most certainly, will change its direction in the future.

Walking around the 2013 Hannover Messe Faire can be a daunting task whether its navigating through the Hannover campus and its’ 13 co-located tradeshows 
or figuring out which one of the broad range of special events, forums and key note speaking engagements to attend. One thing is for certain. The “Internet of Things”, “The Integrated Industry” and “The Industrial Revolution 4.0″ themes all describe the evolution of connecting, embedding and extracting intelligence from previously unconnected devices. Although the industries can not come to a consensus on what to call this paradigm shift, one thing is for certain….The chosen protocol that’s empowering this evolution is ETHERNET.
The challenge lies in integrating Ethernet functionality into devices, machines or automation equipment that doesn’t always conveniently fit into a 1u, 2u, 3u, 4u… or DIN rail mounted enclosures. Designers, integrators and machine builders need a flexible alternative to address the diverse applications, size and environmental considerations required to truly take advantage of deploying anytime, anywhere, any device connectivity to industrial automation applications.
Cisco is a pioneer in providing robust, and scalable embedded technology solutions. Kevin Holcolmb, Cisco Technical Marketing Engineer, discusses our new ESS 2020 Embedded Switch. Read More »

The buzz this year at Hannover Messe Fair is around “The Integrated Industry”. One of the key technologies that’s enabling this convergence is unmodified Ethernet being deployed to the factory and plant floor. Cisco’s core strategy for the industrial market is to accelerate the adoption of open standards by partnering with organizations like ODVA. Cisco is a founding member of the ODVA and has enjoyed a mutually beneficial relationship for close to 10 years.
Adrienne Meyer, Manager of Member Services at ODVA and Guy Denis, Cisco Business Development Manager -- Connected Industries Group reminisce about the history of the relationship and speak about the importance of evolving and developing open network standards and interoperability for the converged manufacturing IT and plant networks, including security, wireless, IP telephony,power over Ethernet and real-time Ethernet/IP.
