  • The Best by Far!

    I’ve been listening to this podcast since September 2018, and I have to say it’s the most enjoyable technical podcast I’ve listened to by far. It’s so good in fact, I’ve gone back and listened to almost all of the old episodes as well. From interviews and current news, 802.11 basics to WiFi 6 deep dives, this one covers all the bases. If you are looking for a way to fill you commute and have a passion for Wireless Engineering, do yourself a favor and give this one a try.
