An essential guide for networking professionals responsible for implementing Wi-Fi 7
Join wireless networking experts Jerome Henry, Brian Hart, Binita Gupta, and Malcolm Smith on this deep dive into Wi-Fi 7 and 802.11be. The authors explore how to design and optimize your network to fully leverage Wi-Fi 7’s new capabilities. You will learn in detail the inner workings of Wi-Fi 7 improvements like rTWT, puncturing, triggered uplink access, and SCS QC. You will explore the new possibilities of multi-link operations and learn why clients will come in five possible MLO modes that dramatically change the expectations you can have for their performances. You’ll gain practical, real-world insights into protocol implementation and its effects on cell design, roaming efficiency, and overall network performance.
This book is an invaluable resource for anyone who designs, manages, and optimizes wireless networks or works with 802.11, from network architects and wireless network administrators to network engineers and anyone whose job includes the need to face the Wi-Fi 7 wave or understand 802.11be and its challenges in depth.
Whether you are new to IEEE 802.11 standards or looking to deepen your understanding of the latest wireless networking advancements, this book gives you the knowledge and expertise to stay ahead in the evolving Wi-Fi technology landscape.
