CONFERENCE*| THURSDAY, 27 JULY 2023 | 9.00 AM-5.00 PM

Workshop | 9.00 AM-12.30 PM

Designing an effective outdoor WiFi network, with 60 GHz backhaul links

Presented by: Shivneet Nair | Regional Technical Manager—Enterprise (AUS/NZ/Pacific Islands), Cambium Networks

The traditional approach to outdoor WiFi design has been using MESH or 5 GHz backhaul links. In this workshop, we will look at an innovative design approach to outdoor WiFi networks using 60 GHz PtMP/PtP (point-to-multi-point and point-to-point) links and how this can help to make networks more scalable and increase the throughput for users. This approach is changing the way smart city WiFi/large-scale public WiFi, and WiFi for mining camps are designed. The workshop will also look at the design of WiFi networks using the spectrum that is now available, as it is not being used by MESH/backhaul networks.

Presentation Stream | 9.00 AM-5.00 PM
