This meeting outlined the progress in development of wireless network WiFi.

With Armando Voerts' introduction, the development path of WiFi was portrayed and the start of the evolution of WiFi, which will continue in the coming years with higher speeds and new applications.

Herman Weerman(Ziggo.nl) provided a clear picture of the technical developments in WiFi. Then the existing WiFi situation, as it is now in the ether on the WiFi bands. Herman explained how Ziggo can prevent the conflict situations between the routers at users and how to set them up optimally.

Nico dammers(City Wirelss) indicated the possiblehden for application of local WiFi networks in shopping areas. This gives SMEs the opportunities to know more about the visitors to the shopping centres or their target group, allowing them to capitalise on this for their business. It is also found to strengthen the bond between them, jointly achieving the improvement of their shopping area.

Paul Wijnnga of the Netherlands Radiocommunications Agency indicated that, besides providing frequencies and investigating congestion (as early as 2008), their enforcement role is very limited on Wi-Fi bands, as these are licence-free. In sommisge areas, the 2.4 GHz band is so occupied that data traffic is very limited. The AT therefore advises better use of the 5 GHz band, where the bandwidth is also wider.

Agentschap Telecom displayed the latest development with LiFi in the Magazin LiFi, the latest WiFi Internet via light with speeds 100 x WiFi or more.

The technological development of the routers is such that they will no longer automatically reduce the speed to that of the slowest connected device (e.g. IEEE 802/g), but to an optimal average or conform to a newer standard with higher speeds.

Description

The KIVI Telecommunications Department invites you to the theme evening "The evolution of WiFi".

WiFi has evolved over the past 25 years to become the standard for indoor wireless communication and is now indispensable to handle the growing data traffic from laptops, tablets, and smartphones. By centralising data storage, video calling, online courses, etc., the demand for indoor wireless bandwidth continues to grow, but so does the desire to have mobile facilities outdoors.
The evolution of WiFi will continue in the coming years with higher speeds and new applications.

On this evening, Herman Weerman (Ziggo) will discuss the various WiFi developments and Carrier WiFi in particular. Nico Dammers (City Wireless) talks about the business models for free WiFi in shopping centres. The effect of increasing traffic and research into WiFi interference will be explained by Paul Wijninga (Agentschap Telecom), who will also discuss the policy and supervision of licence-free WiFi bands.

Naturally, there will be plenty of room for interaction with the speakers.
