When we do large events, we use the "virtual participant" type of testing (throughput, latency, connection time from clients we control at different locations in the venue) in addition to regular infrastructure-side metrics like RSSI, SNR, last known receive data rate, and system-specific metrics (we often use Aerohive gear, which has additional metrics like Radio Health, Network Health, Application Health). I'd suggest taking a look at what aspects of the network matter most for your deployments and developing a score based on the primary influencing metrics; most of it should be doable from the infrastructure side, but you may also consider the virtual participant option for additional data collection.

I've seen some conferences do a virtual participant device that joins the wifi and reports back data.

We are looking for a way to measure performance of a fairly large WiFideployment.We have 8000+ access points (All Cisco). WE have the standard Ciscotools for managing the wireless network (ISE, Prime etc). But we are coming up short with a way to “score” the network.Does anyone have experience with this that might be able to help? How dolarge conferences “measure” wireless service quality etc? We are already doing end user surveys etc. We have “soft date”, we really need data points.—Jim
