Analyst Angle: Learning From Wi-Fi, Working Toward Coexistence With LTE In Unlicensed 5 GHz
Description
A conversation with Edgar Figueroa, President and CEO, Wi-Fi Alliance
The Wi-Fi Alliance has an unmatched experience in managing the coexistence of multiple networks in unlicensed spectrum. Certification ensures that multiple Wi-Fi devices meet standards requirements and behave nicely toward each other. The Wi-Fi Alliance is eager to use this experience to ensure a successful coexistence of Wi-Fi and LTE in the 5 GHz band, through a consensus-based process that includes all the stakeholders – service providers, users and enterprises.
“We have been tremendously successful operating in unlicensed. I would say we are the model of success in unlicensed. The conversation is shifting quickly toward how to ensure that whatever happens in 5 GHz does not unduly impair the current tenants in that band,” Edgar Figueroa, Wi-Fi Alliance’s CEO told us.
