Great Wi-Fi Designs Die in Procurement | PRG 26

You nailed the design. Lovely heatmaps. Solid AP placement. The right density. You could defend every decision. Then someone else took over...

Budget pressure swapped the APs. Procurement found a cheaper installer. The cable runs got cut. Nobody told the engineer until day one, when nothing worked as designed.

This talk is about the gap between the design and what ends up in the ceiling. Not the RF gap. The commercial gap. The one that kills more good Wi-Fi projects than any misconfigured channel plan ever did!

Drawing on patterns from EMEA deployments, this session maps where sound designs get quietly dismantled, and what engineers can do earlier to protect their work. You can't fix what you can't see. This talk helps you see it.
