Heat Map 5Ghz

As you can see from the heat maps, provided by NetSpot, there was a lot of interference from the other vendor's transmitters. Coordination was necessary to either re-assign channels or have them switch to a 2.4Ghz radio.

It was here i discovered a lot of newer vendor equipment has WiFi technology that is enabled by default. so vendors didn't even realize they were broadcasting

The Main stage houses multiple vendors utilizing their own wireless transmitters, mostly in the 2.4Ghz range. The camera department, however, needed to stay in the 5Ghz realm, which made it challenging since i require so many access points. I was able to lower the frequency width to 20Mhz for all 5Ghz APs in order to carve off 3 channels for the camera dept.

The 6Ghz Frequency was reserved for the TikTok live stream of the event. The stream was up to an hour long each record and required the ability to roam around the entire stage area without dropping frames on the iPhone

It was because of that, I discovered that 6Ghz is still new, and not the greatest at AP hopping. So I had to enable 5Ghz on the Streaming SSID in order to give the streamer full access to the stage area.
