Wireless Network Design has become an increasingly complex discipline in just the last 3-4 years. For most of the 21st century, an enterprise wireless network simply meant Wi-Fi connected to a wired Ethernet network. However, today’s IT personnel are faced with an incredibly complex wireless environment – private LTE, private 5G, Matter, LoRa, Bluetooth LE, WWAN, and the many competing faces of Wi-Fi (6, 6E, 7) are making incredible new use cases possible. However, it’s left to IT to determine how these different technologies can interact, integrate, complement, and even augment one another.
