This blog is the first in a series highlighting how Wi-Fi 6 impacts different industry segments and verticals. First we focus on carriers. With Wi-Fi 6, the new common name for the IEEE 802.11ax standard, expected later this year, what should operators and network providers expect and how will it impact their technology roadmaps
With the midway point of the year now firmly behind us, 2019 has been nothing short of a benchmark year for the wireless industry. The widespread release of Wi-Fi 6 is imminent; great strides have been made in Wi-Fi deployments across all verticals, including in-flight, in-home, and in vehicles; 6 GHz spectrum is poised
This blog was provided to WBA by Carnegie Technologies. This week we’re at the WBA Wireless Global Congress in Atlanta – rubbing shoulders with our industry peers from fixed and mobile carriers and enterprise wireless to discuss some of the most pressing issues and most exciting opportunities our industry currently faces. The key theme of the event
2019 is a pivotal year for the wireless ecosystem. Not only is it a year that is seeing unprecedented growth and innovation throughout the industry it’s also the 20th anniversary of Wi-Fi! Wi-Fi 6 trials and deployments are ramping up, better connectivity for in-home deployments are in high demand, and hotel guests and airline passengers
This blog was submitted by Intel. Recently, the Wireless Broadband Alliance (WBA) hosted its members, partners and others in the Wi-Fi ecosystem at the WBA’s Wireless Global Congress in London. Intel was pleased to have Artur Zaks, technologist with our Connected Home Division, participate in a panel exploring the most promising developments in residential Wi-Fi.
For WBA members and partners, Chris Bruce needs very little introduction. The former Chairman and Co-Chair of the organization has more than 25 years of experience in the Wi-Fi, mobility and telecoms space, and after several years at BT, he has recently moved onto the next chapter of his career at GlobalReach Technology. We had
The shortlist for the seventh annual WBA Industry Awards has been announced and can be viewed in full here. Bringing together leading players in the Wi-Fi Industry, the WBA Industry Awards includes some of the most exceptional – and best practice - networks, smart cities and remote wireless deployments from operators and technology vendors across
In the 1990s the IEEE created the concept of an international standard for wireless networking (IEEE 802.11) which eventually became known as ‘Wi-Fi’. Over the next 5 years, more than 100 million internet connected devices were sold annually, creating a massive reliance for Wi-Fi by consumers in their day-to-day lives. Today there are over 8
