Systems Engineering in Wi-Fi Hardware Platforms: Wi-Fi7 and beyond
Wi-Fi standards have evolved quickly in response to increasing spectrum usage, latency, and data capacity demands. The key characteristics of Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) and its possible successors include Multi-Link Operation (MLO), 320 MHz channel bandwidth, channel puncturing, multiple Resource Units (RUs), and Automated Frequency Coordination. Systems Engineering that coordinates hardware, RF, and software under tight FCC and CE regulations is needed to navigate this complexity.
This lecture will discuss next-generation Wi-Fi hardware design, validation, and troubleshooting, building on 802.11ac/ax and Wi-Fi 6E standards. Reliable board bring-up, RF front-end selection, signal integrity, and configuration management are crucial. Examples from the real world demonstrate how Systems Engineering incorporates new Wi-Fi technology without compromising user experience, performance, or regulatory compliance.
This presentation provides practical insights into developing high-performance next-generation Wi-Fi platforms by highlighting the importance of holistic lifecycle management and cross-functional collaboration. Systems Engineering approaches, from precise requirement formulation to thorough post-production testing, can help teams provide hardware solutions that meet demanding technical and regulatory requirements in a crowded wireless landscape. Attendees will acquire practical knowledge on applying system engineering principles to developing future-ready, high-performance Wi-Fi platforms. The lecture will emphasize the importance of interdisciplinary teamwork and rigorous engineering techniques in creating strong and dependable wireless solutions that suit the changing needs of the connected world.
