Has anyone else been approached by AFCOTRA? They have developed an algorithm to map Wireless users and Covid Contamination. They want to use Wi-Fi logs to establish mapping of Covid Cross Contamination on campus. (I guess linking MAC address to Wi-Fi triangulation) We haven’t talked to that organization specifically, but last year there was a bit of discussion about using Wi-Fi data to assist with contact tracing and with occupancy level tracking around campus. At least a couple of the Wi-Fi vendors came up with analytics/reporting tools that would assist with this type of thing. We chose not to implement anything like this due to privacy concerns primarily. -- Julian Y.
