Many teams enable 6 GHz expecting higher performance than 5 GHz,  but real-world results often tell a different story.

In this session, we walk through what network teams are actually seeing in production environments: lower throughput, weaker signal-to-noise ratios, reduced range, and inconsistent client behavior. These outcomes are typically driven by 6 GHz physics, lower transmit power, and mixed client capabilities - not vendor choice or misconfiguration.

We break down where 6 GHz fits well, where it introduces constraints, and the operational tradeoffs that show up at scale. Topics include SSID design considerations, client behavior across operating systems and device types, and lab data from throughput and signal testing. The goal is to help teams make decisions based on measured performance, not assumptions or marketing claims.

This session is vendor-neutral and grounded in real lab and field data from enterprise environments.
