Michael is an ICT coordinator for developing countries, specifically in Africa. He assesses the viability of implementing technologies in rural areas where there is minimal infrastructure available. The goal is to put systems in place that can sustain themselves with solar, wind and other forms of energy for wireless Internet if the infrastructure allows it and satellite Internet if the funding permits it. Michael also writes about ICT for local and international NGO’s and spends his free time as a playwright and an aspiring Photoshop enthusiast.

Day 4, Cisco Live! - The Wrap

Day 4 was the final day of our first ever Cisco Live! We had a great show, with many great conversations and new connections with existing and potential end users, resellers, partners and job hunters.

Day 3, Cisco Live!

Day 3 of Cisco Live is history! For Fiber Mountain, we continued to enjoy visits from decision makers and influencers who were eager to share their data center and structured cabling challenges.

Day 2, Cisco Live!

Tuesday was Day 2 of Cisco Live for Fiber Mountain and we continued to experience high levels of traffic, with many high value decision makers and influencers visiting our booth. One very interesting difference from most conferences I attend is that there are no titles on anyone's show badges. This allows open conversations without people being pretentious. I think this is a very good idea.

Day 1, Cisco Live!

Fiber Mountain is exhibiting at Cisco Live! In Las Vegas for the first time ever! Our first day was hugely successful from just about any perspective - from quantity and quality of booth visitors to successful meetings with customers.
