Realizing the power of WiFi 6

What benefits does the latest generation of WiFi technology bring to service providers as they go beyond delivering a fast pipe to the front door, and provide exceptional quality of experience inside the home, and to every connected device?As promising as WiFi 6 appears to be, it is not the cure for all subscriber connectivity issues and the delivery of highly personalized services. Instead, service providers must find ways to pair WiFi 6 with sophisticated cloud control and AI-driven intelligence so they can truly fulfil the dream of the smart home.In this session, McFarland pinpoints the WiFi 6 opportunity, examines the issues it raises, and tackles what service providers must do to optimize the in-home experience for their subscribers.
