Aspiring CWNE

The Aspiring CWNE initiative was such a hit we’ve decided to continue it with one more round of feature training for 2018. See below for details.

The 14th of February 2018 marked our 15th year in business at SpectroTech. To celebrate and to say thank you to those that we have worked with, learnt with and those that have supported us along the way, we’ve put together our best learning and development opportunity to date.

If you’ve ever aspired to become a CWNE (Certified Wireless Network Expert), there’s never been a better time than now!

In late 2013, Devin moved to AirTight Networks to champion Managed Services in the Wi-Fi industry via a variety of new cloud-based software services citing, “Wi-Fi is no longer just about connectivity, but rather what you can do with that connectivity to make your organization successful.” In early 2014, seeing an opportunity to seize a poll position in the market as a leading Wi-Fi services provider, Mr. Akin founded his own venture, Divergent Dynamics, a Wi-Fi centric Systems Integrator and Training organization, specializing in next generation solutions for Healthcare, Education, and Sports (Arenas & Stadiums). Mr. Akin was recently named to the TWW Top 100 Wireless Technology Experts list for 2014.
