CTS 228: Contact Tracing with Mist




Clear To Send: Wireless Network Engineering show

Summary: <br> In this episode, we had the pleasure to have Sunalini Sankhavaram and Robert Boardman from Mist to talk about Contact Tracing.<br> <br> <br> <br> We have recorded this episode in the video format as well so we could demo the solution for you guys. (Thank you Rowell for spending a few hours editing the video!) Here is the video:<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Mist has been integrating location in their APs since the very first one they released. They are able to leverage BLE in order to provide location with a very good accuracy. They are also able to leverage Wi-Fi to provide location. However, location using Wi-Fi is usually not as accurate.<br> <br> <br> <br> In this episode, we have approached several topics related to contact tracing:<br> <br> <br> <br> * Concept of zones and occupancy (ability to know when too many people are present in a specific are)* How can we leverage contact tracing in the current context (people going back to work after COVID lockdown)* Proximity tracing* Journey mapping (ability to go back and know who was in contact with an infected person)* Technologies used to perform location tracing (BLE, Wi-Fi)* Privacy<br> <br> <br> <br> Here are couple of screenshots from our dashboards:<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Resources<br> <br> <br> <br> Here are a few links if you want to learn more about Mist and Contact Tracing:<br> <br> <br> <br> * Leveraging the AI-Driven Enterprise to Support Contact Tracing: https://www.mist.com/contact-tracing* Contact Tracing Over Wi-Fi from Packet6: https://www.packet6.com/contact-tracing-wifi/* Wi-Fi DevOps with Mist from SemFio Networks: https://www.semfionetworks.com/wi-fi-devops-mist.html<br> <br> <br> <br> <br>
