Cisco Spaces

Your network is no longer just infrastructure — it’s a growth engine. 🚀 Coventry University manages a real estate portfolio valued at £1.4 Billion. Their advantage to optimizing it? 24/7 visibility into how their buildings are actually used. With Cisco Spaces, they’ve moved beyond guesswork. By seeing exactly how their buildings are used in real-time, they’re turning occupancy insights into smarter, data-driven decisions across their entire portfolio. 🏢 Watch the story

Smart spaces is not just an IT conversation. And it is not just a business conversation either. It takes both! • IT brings the infrastructure, governance, security, and scale. • Line-of-business teams bring the use cases and the outcomes they want to drive across the workplace. Cisco Spaces is built for exactly this. It connects people and things with spaces, enabling IT and business teams to drive outcomes at global scale. That matters because the value shows up across teams. For IT, Cisco Spaces provides a common framework to enable outcomes on top of the network, with Spaces OS, maps, location, telemetry, APIs, and connected devices and sensors. For business teams, the outcomes are tangible: • better workplace experience • improved space utilization • more informed real estate decisions • smarter facilities operations • better employee productivity and wellbeing And when both sides align, the business case gets stronger! If this conversation is relevant for your IT and business teams, join us on May 14 for our event, "Create an Outcome-Ready Network for Smart Spaces". We’ll cover how to move from using fragmented tools to a more scalable approach. Link in the comments👇

Your next network refresh isn't just an infrastructure decision. It's a 10-year commitment to what your buildings can, and can't do. Get it right, and the same network powering your connectivity can also tell you which desks are actually being used. Guide employees to the right room. Track critical assets in real time. Monitor air quality. Onboard visitors without friction. Get it wrong, and you're two years in, redesigning from scratch. Most organizations don't realize the foundation is already there. The existing #Cisco network can become the sensor layer for every smart spaces use case. The question is: do you know how to activate it? 🎥 On May 14, we're bringing together #IT & business teams across workspaces, healthcare and venues for a 90-minute deep dive into exactly that. From designing networks that support smart spaces from day one, to live demos, to real deployment stories from the field - this is the event for anyone building the infrastructure that will shape your buildings for the next decade. 🔗 Link to save your spot in the comments!

If you're:  • in the market to refresh your network • mandated to modernize your workplace, or • looking to optimize your software stack for maximum value This is built for you! Join Cisco’s upcoming digital event to learn how to create outcome-ready networks that go beyond connectivity and actually drive business impact. In this session, you’ll learn how to: -> Design and validate networks to support smart space use cases from day one -> Deploy with confidence and unlock 2–5x lower TCO with Cisco’s Smart Spaces Stack -> Unlock outcomes like indoor navigation, asset tracking, occupancy insights and more, on a single platform 📅 May 14 Save your seat!

🚀Welcome to Cisco’s San Francisco office, built as a smart space. Take a walk through the Cisco San Francisco office, a live environment powered by Cisco Networking, Cisco Collaboration devices, and Cisco Spaces. In this clip, you’ll see indoor navigation in action, helping employees and visitors move seamlessly through the space. But that’s just one part of it. Across the office: • Interactive kiosks with digital maps • Smart, sustainable meeting rooms • Real-time room occupancy insights • Seamless desk booking for hybrid work • Workplace analytics driving better decisions All powered by the network. This is what a smart workspace looks like when everything comes together. 🎥 Take the full virtual tour (link in comments)

Ever walked into a building and wondered how it just… works? The system that tells you which desks are free. The maps that guide you to the right room. The systems that help healthcare teams find critical equipment in seconds. That's smart spaces technology. And getting there is easier than most IT and facilities teams think. We built the 𝗖𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗛𝘂𝗯 to take the guesswork out of the journey — from planning your network to deploying apps to proving value to the business. Everything is organized around three phases: 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻, 𝗗𝗲𝗽𝗹𝗼𝘆, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲. Explore more in our latest article by Esarella Fernando, Product Manager at Cisco Spaces - link in the comments!

The race to smart spaces starts with knowing where you stand. 🏁 Before building the office of tomorrow, start with what you already have. The Cisco Spaces Find My License helps you quickly understand your existing Spaces license, what’s enabled, and what you can activate today. 👉 https://lnkd.in/gNXvkGkK

The race to smart spaces starts here 🏁 The ask is clear: Build the office of tomorrow. And build it fast. 👉Smarter workplaces. 👉Better employee experiences. 👉More visibility across spaces. 👉But without adding complexity. Or cost. That’s where things usually stall. Until you realize that the foundation is already there. With Cisco Spaces, the existing Cisco network becomes the sensor layer. No shadow networks. No additional gateways. Just infrastructure you already trust, now doing more. From there, everything comes to life: • Desk booking, indoor maps and wayfinding to support hybrid work • Real-time occupancy and workspace insights • Air quality and environmental monitoring • Asset tracking across the workplace What once felt like a multi-year transformation can come together in weeks! This is how the office of tomorrow gets built. Faster. Smarter. And ready for what’s next. 🎥 Watch how it comes together:

In hospitals, patient monitoring has traditionally been periodic. Vitals are checked. Notes are taken. And care teams do their best to catch changes in time. But care is moving toward something better: continuous, real-time monitoring. With connected medical devices and wearables, patients can now be monitored throughout their stay, not just during scheduled checks. The challenge isn’t the devices. It’s making all of this work reliably, securely, and at scale across the hospital. This is where the network becomes critical. With Cisco Wi-Fi 7, Sensor Connect, and Cisco Spaces, the same infrastructure hospitals already rely on can support a new model of care. Wearables and medical IoT devices connect seamlessly to the network, and the data they generate flows into Cisco Spaces — giving care teams ongoing visibility into patient status, movement, and potential risks. The result is a shift from reactive care to proactive care: • Earlier detection of patient deterioration • Faster response to critical events • Reduced manual monitoring errors and burden on staff • More scalable, connected care environments Because in healthcare, the difference between periodic and continuous visibility can be the difference between reacting and preventing.
