Stay up to date with the latest information on network security,
business continuity, and network availability.

At Opengear, resilience isn’t just a feature. It’s the foundation of everything we build. Whether it’s day one of deployment or day 100 of dealing with unexpected downtime, our solutions are built to keep your network accessible, manageable, and running strong.

This June, we’re bringing that message, and a whole lot more, to Cisco Live San Diego 2025. We’ll be at booth 4324 at the San Diego Convention Center from June 9 to 12, showcasing how Smart Out of Band™ and our Network Resilience Platform are helping IT teams work smarter every day.

Here’s what you’ll find if you stop by:

Hands-On Demos and Real Conversations

The heart of Cisco Live is the booth experience, and ours is certainly worth a stop. Our engineers will be running live demos of Opengear’s Network Resilience Platform and Lighthouse software, featuring Smart Management Fabric (SMF) and Connected Resource Gateway (CRG). You’ll see how Smart OOB delivers dynamic IP routing, real-time access, and the control you need to manage infrastructure from anywhere.

Whether you’re already using Opengear or just curious about how it fits into your stack, come chat with us. Our team will walk you through real-world use cases, answer your questions, and help you figure out what resilience can look like in your network.

Big Brains, Big Ideas

We’re also hitting the stage with some must-see sessions:

  • Catch Opengear CTO Douglas Wadkins at the World of Solutions Theater on Monday, June 9 at 12:10 p.m., where he’ll break down how to support agentic AI by simplifying infrastructure and enabling smarter automation.
  • On Tuesday, June 10 at 10:30 a.m., Wadkins and Senior Principal Engineer Matt Witmer will be live at Tech Field Day Extra, sharing insights and stories from the field in a special session you can watch on LinkedIn or YouTube.

Come for the Tech, Stay for the LEGOs

Let’s be honest: great demos and smart conversations are important—but so are giveaways. We’re bringing two top-tier LEGO® sets and a pair of Meta sunglasses to Cisco Live San Diego, and you’ll have a chance to win one of them just by stopping by booth 4324. (And if you’re wondering, yes, we do believe complex builds like LEGO are a metaphor for infrastructure.)

Special Guests at the Booth

We’ll also be joined by Jason Gooley and Girard Kavelines, well-known voices in the networking community. Whether you want to talk tech, ask questions, or just grab a photo, they’ll be on-site and ready to connect.

San Diego Will Be the Place to Be

This is going to be a busy, exciting, and genuinely fun week. If you’re attending Cisco Live, make sure booth 4324 is on your list. Stop by to learn, connect, or just say hello. We’d love to show you how Opengear helps keep your network resilient, on your first day, worst day, and every day in between.
