0:00 The 6 GHz band is no longer new. It's
0:03 proven in the field. Here are four steps
0:05 to achieve high impact 6 GHz rollouts.
0:08 First, turn on 6 GHz and experience the
0:11 biggest leap in speed and reliability.
0:14 As devices upgrade, traffic shifts
0:16 there. Make it the default fast link.
0:19 Second, raise the security bar. WPA3 is
0:22 the new baseline. Move corporate Wi-Fi
0:24 to WPA3 and replace open guest with
0:28 encrypted guest access. Then set a date
0:30 to retire legacy. Third, relax. There is
0:34 no need to rip and replace. Start by
0:36 swapping access points. Keep your
0:38 cabling, power, and switches. Faster
0:41 uplinks and higher power ports are
0:44 add-ons where usage proves the need.
0:46 Roll out in phases by refreshing high
0:49 density areas first. Measure results,
0:52 then invest where demand justifies it.
0:54 Fourth, execute, pilot, learn, and
0:58 scale. Track three metrics, percent of
1:01 devices on 6 GHz, help desk volume, and
1:03 legacy usage. Then enable multilink once
1:06 client devices catch up. That's your 6
1:09 GHz playbook in 60 seconds.
