Listen "63. MLO is a Lie"
Episode Synopsis
Watch the Presentations from Mobility Field Day here.One of the most anticipated features of Wi-Fi 7 isn’t ready for the public. Worse yet, it may never deliver on the promise of fast, reliable wireless connectivity. In this episode, Tom Hollingsworth is joined by Allyn Crowe, Peter Mackenzie, and Chris Reed as they discuss the way that multi-link operation (MLO) has been included in the specification for Wi-Fi 7 yet not quite implemented. They highlight the technical difficulties of deploying such a complicated protocol and how vendors are trying to squeeze every drop of performance out of their hardware. They wrap up with advice on whether or not to plan your next deployment around a technology that isn’t quite ready yet.Host:Tom HollingsworthTech Field Day: https://techfieldday.com/people/tom-hollingsworth/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/networkingnerd Panelists: Allyn Crowe, Principal Engineer at NexumTech Field Day: https://techfieldday.com/people/allyn-crowe/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/allyn-crowe/ Peter Mackenzie, Cofounder of Wi-CoTech Field Day: https://techfieldday.com/people/peter-mackenzie/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mackenziewifi/Chris Reed, Principal Consultant at VerizonTech Field Day: https://techfieldday.com/people/chris-reed/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thecmreed/Follow the Tech Field Day Podcast on X/Twitter or on Bluesky and use the Hashtag #TFDPodcast to join the discussion.
