How This One Shaped My Career

Brief backstory and a quick run through what you can do with BadgerWiFi-Tools?
-
Come share a journey of discovery… to sometimes wild and crazy places we’ve been asked to design Wi-Fi. From above the Arctic Circle, to Antartica. From mountain tops to thousands of feet underground. Poor shanty towns, to billionaire homes. Wi-Fi holds the entire world together. Knowing how Wi-Fi works, and the fundamentals help in all possible situations.

For over 25 years, Wi-Fi has been woven into the fabric of how we communicate, work, learn, and experience the world around us. In this session, David Coleman explores what lies ahead, from Wi-Fi 8 and Enhanced Broadcast Services to Wi-Fi sensing and the growing role of AI in shaping how networks are designed, operated, and experienced. As AI advances at a pace most companies can barely keep up with—and begins reshaping society in real time—wireless networking is becoming far more adaptive, intelligent, and strategically important. The real opportunity is not just better wireless, but unlocking the Art of the Possible—redefining what can be achieved as connectivity, context, and intelligence begin to converge.
