Whiskey & Wireless

Jake Snyder sits down with us and Mike Albano returns to talk programming and automation. Mario Gingras, Andrew Pieper, and Drew Lentz add to the conversation as the show spirals out of control and the night wraps up.

Fan favorite Chuck Lukaszewski takes center stage to discuss some in-depth 802.11ax topics as well as the IEEE ratification process, 6 GHz coming to Wi-Fi, and even some other unlicensed wireless technologies. While wrapping up, Jussi Kiviniemi from Ekahau sneaks in to wreak havoc on the flow of the show.

In this segment, Sam and Ryan are joined by Mike Albano to talk about OpenConfig and the work he's been doing to bring an open, standard interface for the management and monitoring of wireless networks.

We're joined by Mark Edwards, Darrel DeRosia, and Firas Shaari to discuss the new Wi-Fi Alliance name for 802.11, real-world 802.11ax, and some 802.11ax performance.

Join us as we kick off the WLPC Live podcast for a discussion about the conference with Keith Parsons, the founder and organizer of WLAN Pros and WLPC.

This past summer during Cisco Live 2018, we had the chance to sit down with Walt Shaw, Senior Product Line Manager for Cisco’s Wireless Networking Business Unit, to talk about the future of Cisco’s wireless product lines and some of their announcements that occurred during the show. He walked us through the current and upcoming capabilities of DNA Center when paired with the 4800 series access points. Features such as a dedicated radio for real-time intelligent packet captures as well as in-depth analysis using a massive signature-based anomaly detection engine for up-to-the-minute health and performance monitoring of wireless networks. We also spent some time with Walt looking forward to new technologies like WPA3 and 802.11ax and how these new products and features will be crucial for troubleshooting WLANs until the time our tools can catch up – if they even can anymore. This episode was recorded live at Cisco Live 2018 on the World of Solutions floor so it’s not just liquor keeping us distracted… the liquor, the crowd, the security guards, and the desire to not get banned from future events made this episode a bit noisy.   Follow the show on Twitter: @WhiskeyNWifi Follow the hosts on Twitter: @samuel_clements and @radzima Subscribe to the show in iTunes, Google Play, or from your favorite podcast app.

In this episode we discuss the Wi-Fi Alliance and their new naming scheme, WPA3/OWE, 802.11ax, and find out why Sam is much better at arguing than Ryan.
