Overview

July 14

The COVID-19 pandemic has required us all to lean on technology more than ever before – and government is no exception. Agencies that have adopted IP and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies have been better prepared to adapt to today’s rapidly changing environment. But many have still not taken this digital transformation journey due to the costs and complexity involved.

Join Government Technology and NVT Phybridge on July 14 at 11:00 a.m. PT/2:00 p.m. ET to learn how to bring your LAN into the modern age without the risks. This information-packed webcast will cover:

• How traditional network design holds agencies back from upgrading to IP
• How to overcome challenges – like network security and reliability concerns and higher demands on staff -- in connecting new IoT endpoints
• How to build a modern, sustainable framework that takes an outside-in approach to supporting all endpoints
