  • SOCI Workshop: Supply Chain Hazards – Mitigating Insider Threats

    Online , Australia

    SOCI Workshop: Supply Chain Hazards – Mitigating Insider Threats within your Supply Chain

    In this workshop Pentagram will explore the insider threat within the supply chain.

    Identifying and mitigating insider threat in the supply chain is particularly challenging because entities do not have direct line-of-sight into the personnel of their supply chain partners. People worker in the supplier can have legitimate access to your assets – people, data, physical items, operations – and so can meet the threshold of being insider threats.

    What you will gain

    Pentagram and our spelial guest speaker Zoe Joyce, Head of Risk, Safety and Compliance, Adelaide Airport, will discuss the issue of mitigating insider threats within your supply chain and offer insights and options to help mitigate this risk.

    Who should attend?

    People in SOCI entities who have responsibility for recruitment, human resource management, security, contractors, suppliers and supply chain security.

    People in entities that are not covered by the SOCI Act who have responsibility for recruitment, human resource management, security, contractors, suppliers and supply chain security.

  • Cambium Networks: Back To Basics with ePMP – How WISPs Can Build Networks That Scale

    Online , Australia

    WISPs everywhere are facing the same reality: rising noise floors, limited spectrum, increasing competition from fiber, 5G, and LEO, and ARPU that isn’t going up. In this environment, success is about building networks that scale predictably, remain profitable, and protect capital over time, not chasing peak speeds or frequent technology refreshes.

    This webinar focuses specifically on how ePMP helps WISPs get Back to Basics by reinforcing the fundamentals that matter most in real-world deployments: interference, mixed subscriber density, truck roll costs, and upgrade pressure, with the design choices that are built into the ePMP platform.

    ePMP does not force disruptive upgrades or expensive redesigns, rather it enables WISPs to start small, grow dense, and evolve at their own pace. From predictable airtime behavior under load, to interference tolerance by design, to economics aligned with flat ARPU, this webinar will demonstrate how ePMP supports long-term production networks, not just short-term wins.

    Bruce Collins - Sr. Director - Product Line Management
