Modern Wi-Fi connections rely on more than just raw throughput to measure performance. The complexity of wireless as a medium makes the user experience more varied and creates difficulties in troubleshooting. In this episode, Tom Hollingsworth is joined by Keith Parsons, Rocky Gregory, and Ron Westfall as they discuss the state of Wi-Fi and how performance works. They talk about the challenges with properly designed wireless networks and how data sheets make assumptions about the environment. They also discuss user expectations for performance and how workflows involve many moving parts that can impact overall user experiences.

Host:

⁠Tom Hollingsworth, Tech Field Day Event Lead

Panelists:

Ron Westfall, Research Director at The Futurum Group

Rocky Gregory, Principal Architect at EVOTEK

Keith Parsons, Managing Director at Wireless LAN Professionals Conference
