CTS 285: 6GHz - What is it going to change for us?




Clear To Send: Wireless Network Engineering show

Summary: <br> As 6GHz access points are starting to ship, we wanted to talk about how 6GHz will change our day-to-day life working as a Wi-Fi Engineer.<br> <br> <br> <br> In this episode, we talk about how 6GHz will impact the way we design and configure Wi-Fi networks.<br> <br> <br> <br> Here is a quick agenda of the topics covered in this episode:<br> <br> <br> <br> * 6GHz Coverage* 6GHz Design Considerations* 6GHz Device Classifications* Where 6GHz will be deployed at first* Limitation of 6GHz today* Security Configurations<br> <br> <br> <br> This episode comes after WLPC 2022 where a lot of discussions around 6GHz happened.<br> <br> <br> <br> We recommend that you guys take a look at the following presentations from WLPC:<br> <br> <br> <br> * Wes Purvis presentation from WLPC: “The Impact of 6GHz on Network Design” <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIDDmzcPkns&amp;t=2s"></a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIDDmzcPkns&amp;t=2s">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIDDmzcPkns&amp;t=2s</a>* David Coleman presentation from WLPC: “Wi-Fi 6E: It’s Almost Like Wi-Fi is Being Born Again!” <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgL53Lh5TJE"></a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgL53Lh5TJE">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgL53Lh5TJE</a>* Presentation from Jatin Parekh from WLPC: “Practical Considerations for Deploying Wi-Fi 6E” <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEvOhJxXRPQ&amp;list=PLXJsNZqZEF9ZBJG-70N84cgyvqhxncRtH&amp;index=8"></a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEvOhJxXRPQ&amp;list=PLXJsNZqZEF9ZBJG-70N84cgyvqhxncRtH&amp;index=8">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEvOhJxXRPQ&amp;list=PLXJsNZqZEF9ZBJG-70N84cgyvqhxncRtH&amp;index=8</a><br> <br> <br> <br> Here are a few additional resources we have mentioned during the show:<br> <br> <br> <br> * U-NII 6 GHz devices operating in the 5.925-7.125 GHz band: <a href="https://apps.fcc.gov/eas/comments/GetPublishedDocument.html?id=455&amp;tn=713821"></a><a href="https://apps.fcc.gov/eas/comments/GetPublishedDocument.html?id=455&amp;tn=713821">https://apps.fcc.gov/eas/comments/GetPublishedDocument.html?id=455&amp;tn=713821</a>* Propagation Losses Through Common Building Materials from Robert Wilson: <a href="https://www.am1.us/wp-content/uploads/Documents/E10589_Propagation_Losses_2_and_5GHz.pdf"></a><a href="https://www.am1.us/wp-content/uploads/Documents/E10589_Propagation_Losses_2_and_5GHz.pdf">https://www.am1.us/wp-content/uploads/Documents/E10589_Propagation_Losses_2_and_5GHz.pdf</a>* CTS 218: <a href="https://www.cleartosend.net/cts-218-6ghz-psd-afc-with-chuck-lukaszewski/"></a><a href="https://www.cleartosend.net/cts-218-6ghz-psd-afc-with-chuck-lukaszewski/">https://www.cleartosend.net/cts-218-6ghz-psd-afc-with-chuck-lukaszewski/</a>* CTS 84: <a href="https://www.cleartosend.net/cts-084-channel-widths-devin-akin"></a><a href="https://www.cleartosend.net/cts-084-channel-widths-devin-akin">https://www.cleartosend.net/cts-084-channel-widths-devin-akin</a><br>
