I can understand the purchase in terms of supporting legacy purple wireless, as well as entering a new vertical, but I'm less clear about what technology benefits will result. Will features be integrated into a single platform (eg NSight into Netsight) as has happened with red and purple switching, or will the two product lines remain separate indefinitely?

Thanks for sharing your thoughts James. Always good to read your take on things.
I love how forward thinking our Hub members are on these types of issues.

I'm hoping others will similarly post their thoughts.

It's engagement like this and our customer's inquiring minds that serve as input to future purple technology decisions.
