Presentation Summary
Over the past few years, we’ve seen major changes across Wi-Fi: the opening of brand new spectrum in the 6 GHz band, improved security with WPA3 (Wireless Protected Access version 3) and Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) as the next generation wireless standard.
This session will explore these changes and the implications for Australian Higher Education.
