I recently worked on a project where the customer was trying to track BLE asset tags using the Juniper/Mist location solution. I know that we can leverage the WebSocket API from Mist to be able to retrieve close-to-realtime location data, so I wrote a quick script before going onsite one day to test it out. [...]
Naming cable notes in Ekahau is quite a manual process. You have to enter your note description at the end of drawing the cable note on the map. What I like to do on my projects is rename the cable notes in the following way: "IDF-1 to AP01". We then re-use this description in our [...]
For one of the project we are working on, we are planning on using a nice co-location mount from Ventev. It will allow us to install both an AP and an external antenna at the end of an electrical conduit. It is a very nice option available is you need to significantly lower down the [...]
We have wrote about Free Space Path Loss on this blog. Take a look at this article to understand what it is: https://semfionetworks.com/blog/free-space-path-loss-diagrams/ In this article, we are going to focus on what Free Space Path Loss will look like on the 6GHz frequency band. To start with, here is the updated FSPL diagram including [...]
In this article, we will show how to export the project note pictures into our template reports. It seems like it would be something easy but it is actually a little tricky. PROJECT NOTES IN EKAHAU In Ekahau Pro, you can add project notes to your project by navigating to Project / Project Notes menu: [...]

In Canada, Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) published a Consultation on the Technical and Policy Framework for Licence-Exempt Use in the 6 GHz Band in November 2020. In May 2021, ISED published the Decision on Technical and Policy Framework for licence-Exempt Use in the 6GHz Band. This document outlines the new 6GHz regulations [...]
In this blog post, we will see how we can make a simple API Call to the Mist cloud in order to have all APs, supporting a Wi-Fi network, broadcast their name. We usually enable this feature when we are about to do a Wi-Fi site survey. This allows us to see the AP names [...]
SemFio Networks, alongside Anixter and LHSC, organized the first Wi-Fi Meetup in London ON. The main topic of this first meetup was Wi-Fi 6. The event was very nice and attracted network Engineers supporting large wireless infrastructure in London. We even had a couple of guys coming from the GTA. We will be organizing a [...]
As you know, all data rates are changing with 802.11ax, Hence, the new MCS table you can find here: https://www.semfionetworks.com/blog/mcs-table-updated-with-80211ax-data-rates In this article, we will see how we can figure out the data rate of a specific 802.11ax data frame. If you want to know how to capture 802.11ax data frames, refer to this article [...]
