How Are Clients Still A Mess 20+ Years Into Wi-Fi?

In this session we will explore the complicated landscape of Wi-Fi and its love/hate relationship with clients. Why is it so difficult to design and maintain an infrastructure that allows for lasting, reliable connectivity? How can we foster a better environment? We’ll discuss that and more with Lee Badman.

How Wi-Fi Came to Cover the Globe with Greg Ennis

The story of how Wi-Fi came to be one of our most significant technologies is surprisingly dramatic. Coming out of the fierce techno/political battles at its birth, Wi-Fi exploded into tens of billions of devices around the globe, where today it supports over half of all internet traffic. This presentation will cover the backstory behind the Wi-Fi phenomenon and will look at what the future might bring.

If You Have Good Wi-Fi, Do You Need a 5G LAN?

There is significant interest in 5G LAN deployments in the enterprise. You might wonder what the difference is, especially given that Wi-Fi and 5G LANs are both OFDMA, allocate resource blocks/units, have similar subcarrier spacing, and both leverage MIMO techniques.

 

In this webinar, Dr. Avril Salter will do a deep-dive analysis of the Wi-Fi and 5G LAN physical layers. At the end of this webinar, you will understand the significant technical advantages and disadvantages of Wi-Fi and 5G LANs from an RF perspective. You can then apply this knowledge to determine if you need Wi-Fi and 5G LANs in your environment.
