We ducked this by explaining our wireless design was created for coverage, not 
security/triangulation, which is true.  Many of our buildings do not have the 
capability to do triagulation because of AP positions.  We didn't even get into 
the privacy item, which was honestly a relief.

Several vendors are trying to monetize COVID… the Wi-Fi part (in my opinion) 
falls apart fairly quickly in spots when you start talking it through for 
contact tracing- and usually to do it you may have to buy things you don’t have 
to round out the system.



FWIW.

Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Wi-Fi and Covid



All,



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)



Neat Idea!
