Author Information

Simone Arena is a principal technical marketing engineer (TME) within the Cisco Enterprise Networking & Cloud group and is primarily focused on enterprise network architecture and on all things related to wireless and mobility. Simone is based in Italy and is a Cisco veteran, having joined Cisco in 1999. Throughout the years, Simone has covered multiple roles at Cisco, starting as a software engineer working with Catalyst switching platforms, to consulting system engineer in the field, to TME within different teams (Enterprise Solution Engineering, Wireless Business Unit, Enterprise Networking and Cloud, and now Networking Experiences Group). Today Simone is the lead TME architect for Catalyst Wireless, and his time is split between helping customers and partners design the best solution that fits their needs and engineering and product management, trying to evolve and improve the products and solutions. Simone is a Distinguished Speaker at Cisco Live and has spoken at Cisco Live events all over the world for several years. Besides wireless and networking, Simone has two passions: his family, with his two daughters Viola and Anita; and Fiorentina, the best soccer team in the world...no question. In his spare time, Simone enjoys listening to music, especially through his new tube amplifier (simply awesome!). Francisco Sedano Crippa, CCIE No. 14859, joined Cisco in 2006. After some years at TAC supporting voice solutions and as a system engineer working with service providers, he moved to the development side, where he worked on routing, datacenter and, during the past 10 years, as a technical leader on the Wireless Controller development team, focused in serviceability, location services, programmability, and cloud. He’s a Cisco Live speaker and is passionate about DevOps and automation, and he is now working on architecting next-generation cloud-based lab services. When not working, he spends his time building a full-size Boeing 737 simulator in his basement and enjoying his other passion: his daughter, Scarlett, and son, Marco, and his wife, Isabel. Nicolas Darchis, CCIE Wireless No. 25344, joined the Wireless and AAA Cisco TAC team in Belgium in 2007, where his main focus was troubleshooting wireless networks, wireless management tools, and security products. Since 2016, Nicolas has been working as a technical leader for wireless at the same technical assistance center in Brussels; he has shifted a big part of his focus to improving product serviceability of new and upcoming products, as well as new software releases. He is also a major contributor to online documentation of Cisco wireless products and has participated in many of the wireless “Ask the Expert” sessions run by the Cisco support community. Nicolas has been a CCIE Wireless No. 25344 since 2009 and, more recently, he has achieved CWNE No. 208. Sudha Katgeri, CCIE No. 45857, is a technical leader in services for Enterprise Wireless and has been with Cisco since 2006. Besides supporting customer escalations, Sudha collaborates with Customer Experience (CX), Enterprise Networking (ENB) Escalation, Engineering, and Product Management to improve product quality and serviceability in the next-generation Catalyst wireless stack. Sudha has a CCIE in Wireless (#45857) and is an author and contributor to Wireless TAC Innovation Tools like Wireless Config Converter, CLI Analyzer, and several documents on cisco.com.
