I was invited to attend and present at the Wi-Fi Design Day in Sydney organized by Ekahau and Dicker Data. I would like to thank Grant, Antony, Darko and the rest of Ekahau's team for organizing such a nice event. We presented at the Opera House, which is such an iconic venue in Sydney!

Stephen Cooper and I talked about Wi-Fi 6 and did a demo showcasing OFDMA spectrum activity and packets.

Once I have a little more time, I will analyze the packet capture we did during the presentation and present my findings here.

In the meantime, here are a few pictures from the event:

At the end of the presentation, we asked attendees owning a Wi-Fi 6 device to connect to our Wi-Fi 6 network and generate some traffic (speedtest). We looked at the activity on the spectrum analyzer. We also took a packet capture to show them a couple of interesting HE packets. On my way home, I took some time analyze and get some statistics out of these packets. Here are the results:

he-mcs-index_orig
data-frames-vs-he-data-frames_orig
he-frames-mcs-and-retry-rate_orig
he-spatial-streams_orig
he-gi_orig

Note: No Multi-User data frames were captured See you next time Australia! Cheers!
