SPEAKERS

Wi-Fi surveys are widely used to guide design, validation, and troubleshooting decisions — but what do they actually represent? In this session, we’ll break down what common Wi-Fi survey methods capture, where assumptions can creep in, and how survey mechanics influence the resulting data. We’ll explore differences between static and mobile measurement approaches, how form factor and operator movement shape survey outcomes, and why certain datasets align better with real-world client behavior than others. The goal isn’t perfection — it’s understanding the strengths and limits of the data we rely on.
-
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.
-
It's no secret that designing Wi-Fi can be challenging in school environments. We'll walk through the unique client devices, applications, and designs for wireless connectivity in schools and how to design and troubleshoot for them.
-
Building the network and infrastructure to support 18k fans in the FedExForum. What works, what doesn’t, and lessons learned along the way.
-
Building your own tools doesn't just solve problems — it deepens your understanding of the technology you work with every day. In this session, I'll walk through my experience developing practical wireless utilities and what I learned along the way. We'll cover how to remotely validate Keith Parsons' Wi-Fi site survey checklist, and how to automate pcap analysis so you spend less time clicking and more time finding answers. Whether you're looking to streamline your workflow or just curious how these tools work under the hood — this talk is for you.
-
Gathering data from Wi-Fi networks may seem like a simple task, but what is different when collecting data from a Wi-Fi HaLow network? I will discuss the considerations when performing such task and I will share how I accomplished a Wi-Fi HaLow survey using the Wavelify application.
-
Overhead, under seat, handrail? The options are Many. Let’s talk about it
-
Will walk through how we configured 802.11mc location information at an Austin school, show how this configuration lets the device know its precise location in the building including what floor it is on, and explain how this enhances first responder arrival times.
-
Wi-Fi surveys are not one-size-fits-all. Continuous site surveys, stop-and-go (point) surveys, and AP-on-a-Stick (APoS) each answer different questions. This session breaks down what each approach actually measures, where it fits, and when to use it. Attendees will learn how to choose the right method for the problem they are solving to save time and money, while improving their effectiveness.
-
Let's step beyond the marketing hype and take a look at the real capabilities of Wi-Fi HaLow/802.11ah range and throughput. In this talk, I'll provide a brief to Wi-Fi HaLow and some common use cases followed by a case study of range, data rates and TCP/UDP throughput tests. If time permits, maybe we can also present some data on battery life in various scenarios.
-
Leave-behind sensors that continuously monitor network experience, collect Wi-Fi telemetry, and run remote packet captures typically cost hundreds to thousands of dollars each. These high costs limit adoption and the ability to deploy at scale to cover the areas frequented by your most valuable users. We'll walk through how we built an open, low-cost alternative and show you how to make your own Wi-Fi 7 sensor for less than $100.
-
From hardware to software, UniFi's latest innovations focus on network reliability. This talk will cover how UniFi can build a full High Availability network from the gateway through to wireless clients, and how UniFi Network's rich insights can solve common network issues.
