OUR PROCESS
Second - Gather some actual equipment
Last - Perform some practical tests
First - Learn more about the theory
“In theory, there is no difference between
theory and practise. In practise, there is.”
Yogi Berra

OUR TESTING
Our process:◦ Goal was to test the Wi-Fi 6 features◦ Designed a few tests◦ Performed simple tests with equipment on hand◦ We couldn’t test every Wi-Fi 6 equipment and all Wi-Fi 6
features◦ Planning on performing more testings

FIRMWARES
Challenges today◦ Fast pace of new version rollouts◦ Incompatibilities with older APs
It should become more stable
![Page 53: The State of Wi-Fi 6 François Vergès Rowell Dionicio in](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012105/61dc13bc08f58766bb1e06d4/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
GENERAL OBSERVATIONS
Interesting findings◦ 1024-QAM does work (only observed on 5GHz)◦ Range of 1024-QAM is not that great
▫ Better with 4x4:4 APs◦ Generally higher data rates (mostly due to 1024-QAM)
▫ Might not reflect in real-world deployments◦ More fluctuation in data rates◦ Wi-Fi 6 doesn’t mean OFDMA◦ Spectrum efficiency doesn’t seem to be at its best yet◦ Might need more power than PoE+

NOT REALLY
Design Considerations◦ 20Mhz & 40MHz wide channels◦ How do we do a capacity planning?◦ Do we plan for 1024-QAM data rates?◦ CCI calculation will change with BSS coloring◦ Support for legacy devices

UPGRADE CONSIDERATIONS
◦ Wi-Fi 6 Certified APs◦ First generation Wi-Fi 6 APs◦ Testing◦ 6GHz equipment coming soon?
The clients are definitely coming to market
