These interactive hands-on workshops have been specifically designed by experts in planning and deploying your networks to
allow you to practically apply the lessons learnt by your peers. Whether you are actively deploying or are planning to do so,
you will gain from having a more informal opportunity to learn with and question, both the workshop leaders and fellow
delegates facing the same challenges as you.
WORKSHOP A – Full Day
Monday 27th March
Led by AGILENT
