Overview Course Curriculum Training Schedule Exam & Certification FAQs

Cisco Spaces helps resolve physical-space ‘blind spots’ inside an organization. Through Cisco wireless infrastructure, organizations can gain insights into how people and things move throughout their physical spaces. Based on these insights, organizations can drive operational efficiencies by monitoring and managing the location, movement, and utilization of assets.

This course enables learners how to use Cisco Spaces to drive operational efficiency across environment types. Learners will understand use-cases and obtain the ability to identify procedures and applications when implementing and operating work spaces that are getting ‘back to business’ or business as usual.

This course covers both basic and advanced operational elements of Cisco Spaces while considering Data Analytics in the context of Spaces. You will perform a hands-on ‘deep-dive’ into the solution and perform on-boarding of wireless infrastructure. Subsequently, you will configure the Cisco Spaces solution both tactically and strategically. This will include elements such as behavioral metrics, location analytics, captive portals, profiling, customer engagements, Internet of Things, asset identification and management, and API interfaces for streaming and notifications. You will also explore Cisco Spaces App Center and IoT Device Marketplace.
