Here is a quick post about WLPC – Phoenix 2025. I am back home after another long and memorable trip as always. If you follow my blog, you already know the flow of this event. As with past events, I had the opportunity to teach the ‘
Rockstar Wireless Analysis
‘ 3-day bootcamp prior to the conference. I really enjoy teaching this class and making it easy for people to understand Wi-Fi operation at the frame level.
Every year I try to improve my content for this class and have included some Wi-Fi 7 stuff this time. It was a small class, which allowed me to spend more time with the students and build strong friendships with them. Some of them were interested in my mindfulness practices (Vipassana), so I am sure they were inspired both on their technical and spiritual journeys.
During the main conference we had many great presentations. You should watch the recorded sessions if you could not be there in person. Here are some of the presentations that I found interesting-take a look.

I mostly enjoy meeting my Wi-Fi friends and making new friends too. Here are some of the moments captured.
Here are 3 of us (Chares, Bobby) from Melbourne Australia who make the long trip to Phoenix for WLPC. Charles did a great presentation on Wi-Fi Digital Exam – Lessons learned, you should watch it if you are part of University Wi-Fi team.
I had a pleasue to meet Susinder in person & had good conversations. Also met Sitarama another individual who is inspiring younger generation into Wi-Fi.
Here are two brothers, Raheel and Shaheer (originally from Pakistan and now live in the USA) who appreciate my effort with the blogs and told me those helped them with their CCIEW & CWNE journeys. Also met Edmond (originally from Mexico, now in USA) from Cisco who shared a similar story.
Always great to catch up with Matt and Ekahau team. They keep me busy of teaching Ekahau classes in APAC region and I appreciate their support on that.
Here are few moments of the final day. I am glad my long-time friends Francois (from Canada), Bai Qing (from Singapore) were able to come, so we could spend some time together in this year as well.
It was a great conference overall and glat to make it in Phoenix. Here is a moemnt with Keith who is the man behind this great event.
Looking forward to be in the next WLPC in Prague later this year.
