October was a busy month for DTE, filled with milestones, insights, and meaningful connections. We celebrated 26 years of innovation and growth, marked National Checklist Day with our brand-new Warehouse Wi-Fi Checklist, and joined industry leaders at major events like Hospitality Tech Expo and the Zyxel Networks Partner Event. From supporting smarter hospitality experiences to exploring next-generation Wi-Fi technologies, our team has been busy strengthening partnerships and driving forward-thinking conversations across every sector.
This month’s round-up also dives into expert insights from across the industry, including perspectives on warehouse connectivity with Matthew Wallis and digital safety with Friendly Wi-Fi. Plus, we highlight our continued ISO certifications, the latest product updated from Brother, and a look at how DTE continues to power reliable, secure, and scalable connectivity for businesses nationwide.
