It is the largest networking company in the world.<\/i>&#8221; And wikipedia is right. We are pretty sure that plenty of you have\/had a Cisco router or switch at the office or at home.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About this visit:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cisco&#8217;s unit in Diegem is composed of both an R&amp;D team and an IT service team for designing and deploying products to the clients.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<strong>program\u00a0<\/strong>so far is as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A general presentation on Cisco, who they are, what they do, etc.<\/li>\n<li>Lab visit, we will see the tools and devices used there.<\/li>\n<li>Discussion with experts. Depending on the public, it can be more or less technical. The discussion can be oriented towards VOIP or Routing\/Switching. This is a great opportunity for researcher working on communication technologies to discuss ideas.<\/li>\n<li>A demo\/workshop. Cisco Diegem&#8217;s main activity is IT service. They have dedicated part of their office space to the reproduction of client&#8217;s installation, for testing and debugging. This allows them to pinpoint bugs and failures in a client&#8217;s installation, allowing them to taylor their solutions to the client&#8217;s needs. In this workshop, we&#8217;ll see cisco engineers at work on that task as part of a demo. We will be able to interact with them and be involved in the process.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>The number of places is limited (+- 20 people), and we&#8217;d like to target a public which is familiar with routing\/switching and telecommunication technologies<\/strong>, so that you may fully benefits from the interactions there.
