Join the 7SIGNAL team along with special guests Firas Shaari from Comcast. In this webinar, Firas discusses the advanced 3 stage testing approach to evaluating new AP’s for Comcast. Come see how they separate the wheat from the chaff at one of the largest telecom companies in the US.

Key takeaways:

• Understand how to set up and execute all 3 stages of testing which include conductive, over-the-air (OTA) and test house

During this episode, Mike discusses power management mechanisms in Wi-Fi, starting with legacy Wi-Fi and covering additions in each subsequent standard.

Key Takeaways:

• PS-Poll Mode and TIM and DTIM elements

In this episode, join special guest Arjan Kievits in a discussion about high-density Wi-Fi. During the session, Arjan will talk about the emerging demand from higher education organizations to design a network that can properly handle large groups of students during online exams. 

Key takeaways: Learn about the requirements, physical challenges, testing results, and [re]designs needed to have a high-performing Wi-Fi network.

In this webinar, join Lee Badman as he leads the discussion on Wi-Fi jamming. We will discuss what Wi-Fi jamming is, what it looks like, and why it occurs. 

Some key takeaways:

• What is jamming in relation to Wi-Fi?

During this episode, join 7SIGNAL's Jack Clifford as we discuss all things outdoor Access Points. During the session, Jack will talk through best practices so you can avoid sub-optimal performance. 

What we'll cover:

• Design challenges unique to outdoor wireless

You did your site surveys, you did a redesign, you checked for code bugs, and yet your end-users still complain about the Wi-Fi. What’s wrong?

In this episode, Jim Vajda, Chief Wireless Officer and CWNE #183, will teach us why Wi-Fi clients are just as important as access points in determining Wi-Fi performance, and they must be addressed for the network to meet its full potential.

Some topics we’ll cover:

• General client best practices

Building on Jim Vajda's episode on wide channel contention, guest host Gjermund Raaen will get into the nuts and bolts of how an 802.11 STA actually performs signal detection in its secondary channels.

Takeaways:

• How a receiving station synchronizes to a receiving frame

The threat of rogues has changed. While some things have improved, such as general awareness and improved security protocols, rogues are still causing issues and finding ways to infiltrate devices. In this session, we discuss the evolution of WLAN rogues. Join Lee Badman, CWNE #200 and Jim Vajda, CWNE #183, as we discuss this topic and much more.

Topics we'll cover:

• An overview of rogues and the motive behind them

Today’s WLAN systems promise fantastic speeds and performance, but they have a major strike against them - the endpoints. In this session we’ll look at several real-world Wi-Fi environments to see what various mixes of client types and vintages are in play, and discuss the implications of what it means when the client half of the industry doesn’t keep up with the infrastructure side. Join Lee Badman, CWNE #200, and Jim Vajda, CWNE #183, as we discuss this topic and much more.

Topics we'll cover:

• Infrastructure vs endpoints

How does Wi-Fi contention work when the channel width is greater than 20 MHz? We encounter AP’s operating with wide channels all the time, so it’s important to know what contention looks like on those channels. Jim Vajda, CWNE #183, will introduce you to all the differences in channel access across the PHY’s and across different channel widths. 

Topics we'll cover:

• Everyday 20 MHz EDCA
