Just AH-ny Wi-Fi. Or how we built a Wi-Fi 6 (AX) network in an educational institution

Back in 2004, the head of our technical department was lucky to be invited to launch the first Wi-Fi network in Russia. It was launched at the University of Nizhny Novgorod by Cisco and Intel, where before that in 2000 Intel opened a research and development center with more than a thousand engineers and even (which is not typical) bought a good building for this. At that time, according to the statement of these two “production leaders”, it was almost the only really working corporate wireless network. Today, such statements about “uniqueness” would probably not have caused anything but disputes, but then it was a breakthrough.
