What is the Intelligent Workplace Experience?

The Intelligent Workplace Experience is a solution that converges the workplace, information technology (IT), corporate real estate (CRE), and workplace design teams. With Intelligent Workplace Experience, you can:

  • Create amazing experiences
  • Optimize workplace efficiency
  • Simplify IT/OT management

One architecture, from network to insight

Unite networking, security, collaboration, spaces, cameras, asset tracking, data-building management systems, and more.

AI-ready secure network

Wi-Fi 7. PoE (Power over Ethernet) as the power bus. Security built in, not bolted on.

Collaboration

Every endpoint is a meeting instrument, a sensor, and an edge AI engine.

Data intelligence

One fabric turns signal into insight—for CRE, IT, and HR at once.
