SUMMARY:Wi-Fi as Critical Infrastructure for Internet Resilience Webinar
DESCRIPTION:As the Internet has evolved into an essential infrastructure, Wi-Fi has become a foundational access technology, carrying a significant share of end-user traffic across homes, enterprises, and public spaces. In combination with cable, cellular, satellite, and other access technologies, Wi-Fi enhances network resilience, capacity, and user experience – particularly in indoor environments where the majority of data consumption occurs. Advances in spectrum availability, including the 6 GHz band, are further enabling next-generation Wi-Fi capabilities through wider channels, lower latency, and improved efficiency.\nThis webinar will explore Wi-Fi’s central role in delivering high-performance, reliable connectivity, including performance under load for time-critical applications such as telehealth, immersive conferencing, and industrial automation. Speakers will also examine how Wi-Fi complements licensed networks, highlighting the interplay between licensed and unlicensed spectrum in supporting overall connectivity needs. The discussion will consider how diverse spectrum resources contribute to scalability, innovation, and resilience in both everyday usage and high-demand or emergency scenarios.\nModerator:\nRikin Thakker, CTO & SVP, NCTA\nPanelists:\nMary L. Brown, Executive Director of WifiForward\nMasoud Olfat, VP Technology & Ecosystem Development, Federated Wireless\nPuneet Sharma, HPE Fellow & VP, Hewlett Packard Enterprise\nChristopher Szymanski, Director of Product Marketing Technology Strategy, Broadcom Inc.\nRegister here ( https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_-Q74rLedTUS1fpSLexBWYw ).\n \n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n
