TEC37 Networking Series E03: How to Lay the Groundwork for Wi-Fi 6

Event Overview

It’s not a question of if your organization will move to a Wi-Fi 6 infrastructure but rather when. While the market has touted the speeds and feeds of Wi-Fi 6, little has been said about how organizations should prepare for a successful Wi-Fi 6 deployment. Join host Robb Boyd as he speaks with WWT’s Jennifer Huber, Technical Solutions Architect; Steven Buhler, Business Development Manager; and special guest Keith Parsons, Managing Director of the Wireless LAN Professionals, Inc. They’ll discuss the foundational components that need to be in place before Wi-Fi 6 deployment, including common blind spots.

What to expect

In this episode, we’ll cover the aspects of your enterprise IT infrastructure that should be inspected prior to deployment, design considerations, best practices for implementation and more. You’ll also learn about:
  • How wireless requirements, such as data transport, voice communications, location-based services and client device choices, can impact deployment.
  • Commonly overlooked Layer 1-2 infrastructure updates needed to support Wi-Fi 6.
  • Navigating licensing changes that come with new vendor infrastructure platforms.
  • Redesigning access point locations and the pitfalls of one-for-one replacement.

Goals and Objectives

After attending, you’ll have better insight into practical steps your organization can take to ensure a successful Wi-Fi 6 deployment. You’ll also understand how to approach deployment in a way that makes sense for your organization based on your current technology investments and refresh cycles.

Who should attend?

This episode is relevant to Directors and Managers of Wireless Networks, IT Directors, Wireless Network Engineers and Architects.
