Publications

The published foundations and technical development of WiFi Quality.

The WiFi Quality Institute publishes the core Body of Knowledge of WiFi Quality together with technical guidance, research reports, position papers and governance documents.

Core WiFi Quality Body of Knowledge

The core publication series establishes the conceptual foundations, architecture, governing principles, assessment methodology and scoring architecture of WiFi Quality as an emerging discipline.

WQI-DOC-001 Published

The WiFi Quality Doctrine

Principles, Frameworks and Foundations for an Emerging Discipline. Establishes the overarching conceptual and institutional foundation of WiFi Quality and the rationale for a structured discipline concerned with real-world quality rather than isolated network metrics.

WQI-FWK-001 Published

The WiFi Quality Framework

Conceptual Architecture, Taxonomy and Domains of WiFi Quality. Defines the conceptual structure of WiFi Quality through Domains, Dimensions, Attributes and the relationships between Technical, Operational and Human perspectives.

WQI-PRN-001 Published

The WiFi Quality Principles

Establishes six governing Principles — Objectivity, Independence, Transparency, Relevance, Contextuality and Integrity — and their application across observation, evidence handling, assessment, research, governance and communication.

WQI-TG-001 In preparation

Methodology for Real-World WiFi Quality Assessment

Defines the evidence-based methodology through which WiFi Quality is assessed in practice, including representative evidence collection, contextual interpretation, Evidence Correlation and reconstruction of Observed Network Reality.

WQI-TG-002 Working draft

WiFi Quality Scoring Architecture

Defines methodological requirements for the construction, interpretation, validation and governance of WiFi Quality Scores while preserving separation between assessment evidence, scoring and certification decisions.

How the Body of Knowledge fits together

Technical Reports

WQI Technical Reports present research findings and analysis on specific questions relevant to WiFi Quality, network performance and real-world assessment.

WQI-TR-000 Published

Mission, Scope and Research Agenda

Early technical report describing the mission of the WiFi Quality Institute and outlining the Institute's initial research programme for measurable real-world WiFi Quality evaluation.

WQI-TR-001 Published

Why Speed Tests Do Not Measure Real Wi-Fi Quality

Technical report examining why conventional speed tests are not sufficient indicators of real-world WiFi Quality and user experience.

WQI-TR-002 Published

The Hidden Cost of Poor Wi-Fi in Hospitality Environments

Technical report examining the operational, reputational and financial impact of poor WiFi Quality in hospitality environments, including guest satisfaction, online reviews, profitability and business performance.

Position Papers

WQI Position Papers present institutional viewpoints, analysis and discussion on recurring questions relevant to WiFi Quality and wireless network performance.

WQI-PP-001 Published

Why Increasing ISP Backhaul Doesn't Fix Your WiFi Issues

Position paper examining why increasing Internet bandwidth often fails to resolve underlying WiFi performance issues and why objective assessment is necessary to identify the true source of connectivity problems.

WQI-PP-002 Published

Why Signal Strength Alone Does Not Measure WiFi Quality

Position paper explaining why strong signal strength does not necessarily equate to good WiFi performance and why WiFi Quality requires interpretation of multiple interacting evidence dimensions rather than RSSI alone.

Governance & Institutional Documents

Governance documents support the institutional integrity, publication process and controlled development of WQI materials.

WQI-GOV-000 Published

Standard Governance Principles

Governance principles supporting the independence, transparency and institutional integrity of the WiFi Quality Institute.
