Episode Synopsis
Live from the buzzing showfloor at Cisco Live, I’m joined by two of Cisco’s top wireless minds: Matt MacPherson, Enterprise Wireless CTO, and Jerome Henry, wireless standards expert and co-author of Wi-Fi 7 In-Depth.In this packed conversation, we unpack the real breakthroughs behind Cisco’s Wi-Fi 7 announcements and explore how next-gen connectivity is already transforming the enterprise experience. From stadiums and hospitals to warehouses and schools, wireless is no longer just about speed. It's about orchestration, precision, and trust.You’ll hear:Why Wi-Fi 7 goes far beyond MLO (multi-link operation) and how it prioritizes real-time traffic based on actual needsHow AI is already managing wireless infrastructure, optimizing channel use and radio power in real timeWhy fine timing measurement (FTM), BLE, UWB, and indoor GPS are unlocking hyper-accurate location services for smart buildingsHow Cisco Spaces is using wireless data to improve space utilization, wayfinding, and the overall user experienceWhat it really takes to design high-density environments, especially when thousands of people show up and change the RF landscapeAnd how Wi-Fi 8 and AI-native architectures are already in developmentWant to go deeper?
