Your demo kiosk stand includes:

  • We strongly recommend you use the wired connections whenever possible as the Wi-Fi may have disruptions beyond our control.
    • Even laptops and many mobile devices that do not have a built-in ethernet ports can use USB-C adapters (for example) and you should bring these with you to use the wired connections. 
    • We encourage teams to bring a switch and RJ45 ethernet cables and split that for any additional wired devices if more than two connections are required.  We will have a limited number of switches available at the Innovation Information desk
    • We’ve upgraded the bandwidth for the Catalysts to maintain high bandwidth connection for all your devices.
