Is your NetOps strategy built for the next 12 months, or is it stuck in the past? New research from Cisco & Omdia: ✅ 75% of orgs are already using AI for networking. ✅ 51% are running agentic AI in production. ✅ The "hiring-out-of-it" model is officially dead. See how the industry is pivoting to autonomous operations: cs.co/6015BGc5zV

Would you trust AI to make changes to your production network? A new @Cisco and @OmdiaHQ survey of 1,000 IT and network leaders reveals how quickly that question is moving from hypothetical to operational. 80% are comfortable giving AI a high or fully autonomous role in network operations, while 51% already use agentic AI to take corrective action in real time. But trust comes with conditions: 99% say effective guardrails are essential. Explore what’s driving the shift to AgenticOps in this @NetworkWorld article: cs.co/6014BGgTQ0

Your network does more than connect the business. It can help defend it. As AI agents, distributed workloads, and quantum-era risks expand the attack surface, passive transport is no longer enough. In a new Cisco Networking blog, Bassam Khan explains how networking teams can turn the network into an active security layer through three connected pillars: Trust the Infrastructure, Secure Every Flow, and Assure Every Experience.

Wi-Fi complaints can be vague. The data behind them doesn’t have to be. Currently in beta, Experience Metrics measures wireless end-to-end user experience on a selected network by tracking every user’s experience every minute. It brings four key metrics into view: 🔹 Wireless successful connections 🔹 Time to connect 🔹 Channel availability 🔹 Coverage Each metric includes a status, failure contributor, and failure rate—helping teams understand what is degrading the experience and whether failures are isolated or more broadly distributed. Ready to explore Experience Metrics? Opt in: Organization-wide > Configure > Early Access. Access Experience Metrics: Assurance > Analytics > Overview > Experience Metrics. Experience Metrics requires a minimum firmware of MR 27. See how Experience Metrics can help teams identify and investigate wireless experience issues. 👉 cs.co/6010BGe60j

The ticket tells you the symptom. The network holds the evidence. A user who keeps getting disconnected and an office reporting unreliable Wi-Fi may land in the same queue—but they can point to very different root causes. Cisco AgenticOps for Wireless gives NetOps teams a repeatable Sense → Diagnose → Remediate workflow to follow the evidence: 🔹 Experience Metrics shows network health as experienced by clients in real time and helps determine whether an issue is isolated or network-wide. 🔹 AI PCAP Analyzer, when enabled, captures traffic during detected failures and translates packet data into plain-language findings. 🔹 AI Configuration Recommendations surfaces actionable recommendations based on historical network data. 🔹 AI-RRM with Flexible Radio Assignment (FRA) helps reduce co-channel interference in dense deployments without requiring a manual RF redesign. The result: less ambiguity at each decision point, from symptom to root cause to remediation. Read the full walkthrough, “Accelerating Wi-Fi troubleshooting with AgenticOps.” 👉 cs.co/6011BGbLFR

AI workloads are making routing decisions more important than ever. In this SiliconANGLE guest column, Cisco’s Lee Peterson explains why dynamic model routing will follow a path familiar to networking teams. Just as SD-WAN uses real-time telemetry, policy, and observability to steer traffic, model routing can direct each request to the best endpoint for its performance, cost, privacy, and accuracy requirements.

Wireless demand is accelerating at an unprecedented pace. 🛜 More than 30 billion connected devices are expected by 2030. Fifty percent of AI-driven demand is concentrated in Wi-Fi campus networks—and while 28% of global organizations surveyed in Cisco’s 2026 State of Wireless Report have deployed AI workloads, that figure is projected to reach nearly 80% by 2027. The 6 GHz band can add up to 1,200 MHz of new spectrum, providing the capacity needed to keep networks reliable at scale. Enabled by 6 GHz, Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7 deliver multi-gigabit speeds and wider channels to support the high-performance applications driving today’s digital economy. Explore the customer stories and see how expanded wireless capacity is enabling real-time care, immersive learning, advanced manufacturing, and connected infrastructure. 👉 cs.co/6014BGV52Q

New house. New lights. New Wi-Fi playbook. 🏟️📶 When the Bills welcome Detroit for tonight’s home opener, the action won’t be limited to the field. New Highmark Stadium is built for 60,000 connected fans, with Cisco Wi-Fi 7, Catalyst Center, Spaces, and Secure Firewall helping power and protect the experience. During the final 2025 preseason game, the old stadium network carried 850 GB of data. During a 2026 preseason game at the new stadium, that jumped to 16 TB—alongside reported gains of more than 800% in network speed and capacity. That means more room for texts, uploads, streaming, and stadium-app activity when the stands are packed. See the technology making its regular-season debut: cs.co/6015BGTAnJ

Your security cameras should do more than just capture video.

AI is moving beyond the prompt. Is your network ready to keep up? Long-running ambient agents can work across hours or days, triggering bursts of traffic, pausing for dependencies, and resuming with context that may have changed. That makes capacity planning, latency, monitoring, and QoS harder, but the answer may be more familiar than expected. Cisco’s Joe Vaccaro explains why network teams should apply proven disciplines to a fundamentally different workload. Read the blueprint for preparing enterprise infrastructure: cs.co/6014BGr6iE
