Description

Many DoW entities are either currently implementing Wi-Fi for the first time or enhancing their deployment as users are migrated from primarily wired to wireless. This session will facilitate those efforts by highlighting recent changes in Wi-Fi standards including Wi-Fi 6E (which adds the 6 GHz spectrum) and Wi-Fi 7. The focus of the session will be on transitioning from previous standards, Wi-Fi 5 & 6, paying attention to important changes that can affect deployment. We’ll distinguish fact from fiction in 6 GHz Wi-Fi and help you plan for adoption of these newer standards.

During the session, we will explore the following key concepts:
- Intro: Spectrum vs Standards
- 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz technology comparison
- Challenges in 6 GHz wireless operation (that you might not know about)
- FIPS 140-3 and 6 GHz APs
- Switch/Cable requirements for Wi-Fi 6E/7
