September 2023 Newsletter CommScope Technical Family Webinar Please join us for the next CommScope Technical Family webinar, “To cable, or not to cable, that is the question – Are wireless networks replacing wired infrastructures?‘’ on October 12. Over the last decade we have seen more and more devices connected to the network via wireless, a technology now considered by all to be accessible and easy to use. In this webinar, we will answer a question that grips IT managers, who today need to plan or implement a new network infrastructure: “Are we witnessing the decline of wired networks in favor of new wireless technologies?” We will analyze the main technologies available on the market today. We will also hear from some experts from our wireless business to understand what the implications of Wi-Fi and DAS systems are.
