Waves & Wires.

Ever wondered what actually happens when you change the channel on a screen that's connected to the network? Or why a live concert can suddenly lose sound on stage because of one tiny setting buried in a switch?
In this bonus technical discussion, Kevin and Michel welcome back Nick and David from the EMEA Pre-Sales team to go behind the scenes of AVoIP. They share real-world stories from the field, the common mistakes that catch even seasoned installers out, and why AVoIP is anything but plug-and-play.
The good news is it doesn't have to be painful. The team looks at AVoIP mode on Zyxel switches, which turns a complex setup into a simple guided wizard. Just tell it which ports are your transmitters, receivers, and uplinks, and it handles the configuration.
You also get a dashboard built for AV professionals, not just network engineers. That means less time troubleshooting and more time delivering great experiences.
Whether you're from the AV world or the networking world, this one's for you.

What's really going on when audio and video travel over a network instead of a dedicated cable? In this episode, we're joined by two AVoIP (Audio-Visual over Internet Protocol) specialists from Zyxel Networks: Nick Roberts, Sales Engineer for the UK and Ireland with a background in systems integration, and David Mossner, Sales Engineer for Germany and Austria with a background in live audio engineering.
Together they explain how AVoIP evolved from analog matrices and HDMI distribution into full network based systems, why multicast (not unicast) is the key to scaling video and audio without drowning your network in traffic, and what actually goes wrong when you plug this kind of equipment into an unmanaged switch. They also dig into IGMP snooping, precision timing, and why home streaming services like Netflix aren't built for the same job.
Along the way, we cover real world applications, from residential distribution and airport signage to hospitals and live concerts, and talk through what to actually look for in a switch before rolling out an AVoIP deployment.

Join Kevin and Michel as they shine a light on one of the most overlooked tools in the security portfolio - SecuReporter. 

If you've ever asked how do I find out who, what, and where the threats are happening on my network, and how many we're actually protecting clients against then this is the tool for you. 

SecuReporter takes the flood of log, application, and security data from your firewalls and puts AI to work, turning an impossible pile of text files into clear analytics and visual answers fast. Kevin and Michel walk through AI-powered, fully brandable summary reports, real-time alerts and push notifications you can fine-tune, and SecuPilot - the AI assistant that answers questions in plain language.

They also dig into what makes it powerful for MSPs: consolidated multi-site dashboards, grouping customers by vertical, detailed reporting, an open API, and full GDPR compliance with anonymization built in. 
Whether you're running the latest USG FLEX H series on Nebula or legacy on-premise kit, it's all in scope.

Join Kevin and Michel as they dive into the biggest Zyxel shake-up on it's outdoor and industrial wireless lineup yet. With sunshine finally here, it's the perfect time to take WiFi beyond the walls - and there's a whole new range of products to do it with.
Whether you're lighting up a café terrace, bridging two buildings 5km apart, or rolling out rugged WiFi 7 across a warehouse or stadium, this episode has you covered. Kevin and Michel break down the all-new NWA55AXE Pro, the WiFi 7 NWA55BE, the plug-and-play point-to-point kit, and the powerhouse WBE665S with 22 Gbps throughput and smart antenna tech built in.
Along the way, they tackle the questions customers keep asking: bridging vs. mesh, the legal lowdown on outdoor 6GHz (and where the rules are changing), what IP55 and IP67 ratings really mean when dust, rain, and freezing temps are on the line, and how it all comes together under the Nebula cloud platform.
New to the range or already a fan - this is your fast-track tour of what's now possible outdoors.

In this month's episode, we're switching things up. For the first time on the podcast, we're handing the mic to one of you - our partners. 

Mark, the CEO and founder of Briqt in the Netherlands, has spent 15 years specialising in SMB and MDU (Multi-Dwelling Unit) networks - securing and connecting apartment blocks, healthcare facilities and multi-tenant office buildings. He's got the receipts to prove it works. 
 
From templated deployments and triple-play separation, to Wi-Fi 7 rollouts and the magic of taking an 8-week holiday without a single network call, Mark pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to build a thriving business on Nebula - the secure cloud platform built for businesses just like yours. 

Honest, practical, and packed with the kind of insight only someone in the trenches can offer. Tune in - your next deployment will thank you.
