A new generation of Wi-Fi connectivity is on the horizon. Allie Irvin and Brendan Bonner sit with David Coleman, Director of Wireless at Extreme Networks’ Office of the CTO. How will the way you access the internet change in this new generational shift and beyond?

6E and 6 ghz Wi-Fi is already available and accessible on the market, but what can we do to reach the 33 gb/s they have to offer? With 320 mhz channels available, when will we reach the point when it becomes commonly accessible?

Revisit topics we discussed earlier in this season of Inflection Points, like Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR), as well as digital twins, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and mobile data networks. All of them demand more and more of internet infrastructure, and these developments will push them to a greater level of viability. More demanding technology demands more power. What are internet providers doing to increase their energy efficiency as we push towards convergence?

Discover new processes like 4K-QAM, will come included in Wi-fi 7 technology. They will allow for seamless analogue and digital transfer data signal switching, improving efficiencies across Wi-fi spectra by as much as 20%. Thinking even further ahead to Wi-fi 8, how fast can Wi-fi become with Multi-Link Operations, which can transmit and receive signals simultaneously?

Inflection Points is a monthly tech podcast all about looking forward to future technology and imagining beyond the immediate horizon. Hosted by Allie Irvin and Brendan Bonner. Produced by Antonio Di Cicco. Inflection Points is brought to you by Extreme Networks’ Office of the CTO.

‘Measure twice, cut once’ is the old adage, but what if we could cut in a non-destructive way as many times as we want? Allie and Brendan chat with Amy Cameron, Research Director as STL Partners, to discuss digital doubles, real-time modeling, and predictive simulations.

Digital doubles are built for two-way realtime interactions, creating perfect copies and allowing for instantaneous rollout. The potential for this new technology is only limited by the amount of data streaming it demands.

Real-world use cases are discussed, like Vodaphone’s landscaping doubles, who simulate seasonal plant growth to support the construction of their 5G telecom network. The capability of digi-doubles goes further, enabling simulated customer behaviour, planning traffic management strategies across cities, and safely executing cyber attacks on your own systems.

Will digital twinning exist as an invisible safety net for system security, or evolve into something more visual with AR and VR technologies? How does the blockchain factor into this, and will the systems become interlinked in future?

Hosts Allie and Brendan sit with Dr. Peter Marshall, Strategic Marketing Director at Ericsson inc. to look forward at the future of connectivity and the backbone of digital infrastructure.

With the transition to 5G underway, 6G's capabilities are being imagined and experimented with. They imagine an Internet of Senses, up to 50 connected personal devices per person, and blurring the divide in the cyber physical continuum.

Not only that, but they look at what we can do to change our approach and understanding of technology, and how we can push the frontiers to get closer to the universal limitations of electronics.
