This Help Net Security interview with Tiago Rodrigues, CEO at Wireless Broadband Alliance, delves into the future of enterprise networking, exploring the significant role of Wi-Fi 6E and Private 5G. What role does Wi-Fi 6E play in enterprise connectivity, and what advanced capabilities does it offer on the 6GHz spectrum?

How is the need for Private 5G in enterprise networks growing due to new IoT use cases, and what are the key drivers for Wi-Fi adoption in enterprise networks?

Wi-Fi has been the workhorse of wireless networking for years, and that isn't going to change any time soon.

The key drivers for adopting Wi-Fi are its relative cost-effectiveness and flexibility, allowing networks to be easily scaled with changing business needs.

Large-scale deployments will also be easier to manage, as an organization that can leverage both Private 5G and Wi-Fi 6 will have much greater capacity for onboarding new devices - whether they are user-centric devices or stationary smart devices such as operating machinery, biometric scanners, or CCTV. What challenges might enterprises face in integrating 5G with existing Wi-Fi infrastructure, and how can they address them?

OpenRoaming allows devices to seamlessly connect to Wi-Fi networks without requiring users to manually log in.
