Tech Bytes: Aruba Navigates 6Ghz Spectrum Challenges With AFC Demo (Sponsored)
Today on the Tech Bytes podcast we’re talking about Wi-Fi 6E. 6E gear can take advantage of the recent addition of unlicensed spectrum in the 6GHz band, but that 6GHz band isn’t a free-for-all. There are incumbent entities that also have a stake in the spectrum. To prevent interference, there’s an effort known as the Automated Frequency Coordination database that coordinates among licensed and unlicensed users.
On today’s podcast, sponsored by Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company, we’ll hear about Aruba’s participation in the first public demonstration of Wi-FI 6E and the AFC database. My guest is Dave Wright, Head of Global Wireless Policy at Aruba.
We discuss:
* Issues with 6GHz band that require the Automated Frequency Coordination (AFC) database
* What the AFC does and how it’s overseen
* Results from the August 2022 public trial testing the AFC in which Aruba participated
* What engineers should watch out for as they roll out Wi-Fi 6E APs
