If anyone is looking into doing this and is a Splunk customer and already throwing WiFi data from either Cisco or Aruba in there, they developed apps that can do more or less this. Contact tracing, cluster visualization on maps, and so on. We didn’t end up going that route at all as a conscious decision to not overtly track students via WiFi, so I didn’t keep up on whether these were going to be made public or required an integration partner to configure. The demos were quite impressive, though, and if you already have the data set and product, it’s pretty much free for operation. The money is in the Splunk costs for keeping all that data.

It's nice when you can reuse existing overhead, but I don't think 2.4/5/6 radio is the answer. You're just begging for false positives.

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.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. 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.
