Systems Engineering in Wi-Fi Hardware Platforms

#STEM #CLAS #Hardware

The 802.11 standards have significantly evolved with the widespread adoption of wireless communication. These standards have advanced to the 802.11ac/ax/be specifications, introducing numerous challenges in both hardware and software aspects. The development of Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) mesh extender devices that comply with these standards encompasses a variety of design challenges. In this turn, systems engineers assume a vital role in ensuring the precise production of hardware by accurately defining radio frequency (RF) performance metrics. They also orchestrate the most suitable software configurations as the linchpin between the hardware and software teams.
The incorporation of the 6GHz frequency band and the allowance of Standard Power on this band for Wi-Fi usage introduces fresh challenges that necessitate meticulous consideration and resolution, both in the design phase and in adherence to regulatory standards set by authorities such as the Federal Communications Commission and Central Européenne. This presentation will delve into the significant role of systems engineering in the Wi-Fi mesh extender hardware design, examine the processes required for regulatory compliance and RF performance assessment, offering insights via real-world examples, and provide a balanced perspective on the challenges and solutions encountered in systems engineering for Wi-Fi mesh extenders, integrating technical complexity with regulatory requirements.
