Hello Team,
First, I wish all our friends in the US a very Happy 4th of July. Hope everyone is enjoying the long Independence Day weekend with family/friends

You will see we have tried to be honest with the ones we cannot foresee being implemented with the product - in many cases because it is a MAJOR and/or risky change.
I am happy to discuss these or get challenged on our analysis for those - as mentioned, we are very trying to be as transparent as possible.
We will continue with these posts and you will see many more ideas coming to fruition with our next release of Spectrum in 2H 2015.
Would again encourage the team to vote for ideas and give then suggestions - we listen!
As we plan our next few releases, you have an opportunity to further shape the product direction and capabilities - do voice your opinions.
Also, would request people to send their responses to the WiFi Management post and questions - it is critical that our design is aligned with what you have and what you want:
WLC-AP Deployment Model..
Look out for an invite from the Community Managers for a Webcast in the coming months where we will share the progress on our next release and also give a sneak peek into the Spectrum Web Client for Operators - we are very excited!
As always, suggestions, feedback and critique very welcome.
Regards,
Kiran Diwakar
