CTS 064: Wi-Fi Roundtable 1 – Part 1

This is a new series on the podcast where we bring together a group of Wi-Fi professionals for a roundtable discussion of industry topics, casual banter, and camaraderie. Insults are on the house 😉 A couple of us Wi-Fi professionals had the idea of getting together in virtual space to discuss anything and everything happening in Wi-Fi. This is the first time we have formed a roundtable, let alone an interview, with more than 3 people. In this roundtable, which is split out into two episodes, we have Rowell Dionicio, François Vergès, Robert Boardman, Steve McKim, Brennan Martin, Samuel Clements, and Stewart Goumans.
