Todd Carriker, CEO of Rhino Networks, Addresses Cisco's Unified Networking Strategy for SMB Market

ASHEVILLE, NC - June 18, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Rhino Networks, LLC, a Cisco Meraki preferred partner, today shared insights from its leadership regarding Cisco's ongoing convergence of traditional networking and cloud-managed Meraki platforms into a unified portfolio, highlighting significant implications for small and medium-sized businesses navigating network modernization decisions.
Todd Carriker CEO of the company, addressed how Cisco's evolving strategy represents a fundamental shift in enterprise networking that has been developing since Cisco acquired Meraki over a decade ago. The convergence now manifests in newer product lines, including WiFi 7 access points and Catalyst 9350 switches, where the same hardware supports both Meraki cloud dashboard management and traditional on-premises Cisco management tools.

"The unification of Cisco's networking portfolio represents a pivotal moment for organizations evaluating their infrastructure strategies," stated Todd Carriker, CEO of Rhino Networks. "For the first time, businesses can select hardware without being locked into a specific management paradigm, allowing them to adapt their network management approach as their needs evolve. This flexibility is particularly valuable for SMBs that may start with cloud management but later require on-premises capabilities as they scale."
The Todd Carriker profile in the networking industry reflects extensive experience helping organizations navigate complex technology transitions. His perspective comes as businesses face increasing pressure to modernize their networks while maintaining operational flexibility and cost efficiency.
Historically, organizations faced a binary choice between Meraki's cloud-managed simplicity and Cisco's traditional enterprise-grade control. This separation often complicated procurement decisions and limited future flexibility. The new unified approach eliminates these constraints, enabling organizations to change management models without replacing hardware investments.
Todd Carriker's company Rhino Networks has observed firsthand how this convergence impacts deployment decisions across various industry sectors. The company specializes in helping organizations implement Cisco Meraki solutions and has maintained a 95 percent customer retention rate through its focus on comprehensive support and strategic guidance.
"SMBs are particularly well-positioned to benefit from this unified approach because it removes the traditional barriers between entry-level and enterprise-grade networking," added Carriker. "Organizations can now start with simplified cloud management and transition to more complex configurations as their requirements mature, all while maintaining the same hardware foundation."
The timing of these developments aligns with broader industry trends toward flexible consumption models and hybrid management approaches. According to Cisco's projections, 45 percent of the company's market opportunity by 2025 will involve managed services delivery, representing a $113 billion total addressable market.


Rhino Networks continues to expand its capabilities to support customers through this transition. The company offers comprehensive services including networking device sales, systems management, Cisco Meraki licensing, and deployment services. As an authorized reseller, Rhino Networks pre-configures equipment in transit, ensuring devices arrive ready for immediate deployment. The company's engineering team provides expertise in cloud security, deployment services, and maintains a two-hour response guarantee during business hours for customer support needs.

Longmont Braces Emphasizes Patient Education in Orthodontic Treatment Planning Process

LONGMONT, CO - June 18, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Longmont Braces, a comprehensive orthodontic practice serving the Longmont, Colorado community, highlights the critical role of patient education and individualized treatment planning in achieving successful orthodontic outcomes. The practice underscores how thorough patient understanding of treatment options, timelines, and clinical recommendations contributes to more informed decision-making and positive treatment experiences.
Orthodontic treatment planning requires careful consideration of each patient's unique dental structure, aesthetic goals, and lifestyle factors. The process begins with comprehensive consultations where orthodontists evaluate clinical needs while discussing available treatment modalities, from traditional braces to clear aligner therapy. This personalized approach ensures that treatment recommendations align with both clinical requirements and patient preferences.

Patient education extends beyond initial consultations to encompass the entire treatment journey. Understanding the mechanics of tooth movement, the importance of compliance with orthodontic instructions, and realistic timeline expectations helps patients actively participate in their care. This educational foundation proves particularly valuable when patients face decisions about treatment options or need to understand the rationale behind specific clinical recommendations.
"When patients understand the 'why' behind their treatment plan, they become partners in their orthodontic journey rather than passive recipients of care," said Dr. Stephanie Ross, orthodontist at Longmont Braces. "Taking time to explain treatment mechanics, discuss options thoroughly, and address questions creates an environment where patients feel confident about their orthodontic decisions. This educational approach has consistently shown to improve treatment compliance and overall satisfaction."
The practice recognizes that orthodontic needs vary significantly across age groups. Children may require interceptive treatment to guide jaw development, teenagers often balance aesthetic concerns with active lifestyles, and adults frequently seek discreet treatment options that accommodate professional obligations. Each demographic benefits from tailored educational approaches that address their specific concerns and treatment considerations.
Modern orthodontic practices incorporate various educational tools to enhance patient understanding. Digital imaging technology allows patients to visualize potential treatment outcomes, while detailed treatment simulations help explain the progression of tooth movement over time. These visual aids complement verbal explanations, ensuring patients grasp both the process and expected results of their orthodontic treatment.
The emphasis on patient education also addresses common misconceptions about orthodontic treatment. Many patients initially underestimate the importance of retention phases or the impact of oral habits on treatment success. Through comprehensive education, orthodontic providers help patients understand these crucial aspects, leading to better long-term outcomes and smile stability.
Financial transparency represents another essential component of patient education in orthodontics. Understanding treatment costs, insurance coverage, and payment options allows families to make informed decisions without unexpected financial stress. Clear communication about financial aspects ensures that treatment decisions are based on clinical needs and personal preferences rather than incomplete information.


Longmont Braces serves children, teenagers, and adults throughout the Longmont area, offering traditional braces, Invisalign clear aligners, and specialized orthodontic treatments. The practice maintains a commitment to combining advanced orthodontic techniques with comprehensive patient education, ensuring that each patient receives personalized care tailored to their specific orthodontic needs and treatment goals.
