Next-Generation Spectrum Analysis for Wi-Fi: Insights and Optimization

How has spectrum analysis evolved beyond simply identifying RF device signatures? What new insights can next-generation 3-D spectrum analysis provide into Wi-Fi performance and interference, particularly in the challenging best-effort 2.4 GHz band? How can we better understand interference from non-roaming IoT devices, Chromebooks, and more? What is the real-world impact of Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) in the 5 GHz band, and how do AP power settings affect performance across bands? As we shift focus to the future of Wi-Fi in the 6 GHz spectrum, what insights can spectrum analysis reveal about 6 GHz client connectivity and roaming behaviors? Can we validate the need for Automated Frequency Coordination (AFC)? Finally, what role does spectrum analysis play in examining Wi-Fi 7 features such as multi-link operation (MLO) and preamble puncturing?
