Highlight: Empowering Our Partners through Product Training

We recently organized the WisDuo and WisBlock Partner Training for our active partner distributors, focusing on enhancing their expertise and engagement with our technologies.

The series of trainings focused on discussions about integration and use of the WisDuo Stamp Modules in custom device designs, tips and tricks in selecting and designing WisBlock, and how to simplify hardware development and real-world deployment with WisBlock Unify Enclosures.

This effort has been made to ensure that the community will receive the best support from us and our channel partners.

In the coming days, we will upload on YouTube some training videos to share with everyone.
