While there are many innovative technologies and solutions being introduced at the network edge, few garners as much interest as the next-generation of Wi-Fi. With over 9 billion devices globally, and 3 billion more being added each year, Wi-Fi is engrained in every area of our lives: home, work, and leisure. Many now view Wi-Fi as a utility – right up there with electricity and water. The thought of having a school, hospital, or stadium without Wi-Fi nowadays is on par with them having no teachers, beds or athletes.
