The WiFi Quality Institute publishes the core Body of Knowledge of WiFi Quality together with technical guidance, research reports, position papers and governance documents.
The core publication series establishes the conceptual foundations, architecture, governing principles, assessment methodology and scoring architecture of WiFi Quality as an emerging discipline.
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.
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.
Establishes six governing Principles — Objectivity, Independence, Transparency, Relevance, Contextuality and Integrity — and their application across observation, evidence handling, assessment, research, governance and communication.
Establishes the technology-neutral, vendor-neutral and evidence-based methodology for assessing WiFi Quality in real-world operational environments, from Assessment Scope and representative sampling through Evidence Correlation, Observed Network Reality, Findings and Review.
Methodological Requirements for the Construction, Interpretation and Governance of WiFi Quality Scores. Defines the architecture within which WiFi Quality scores may be constructed, interpreted, reviewed and governed consistently with the WQI Body of Knowledge.
Version 1.0 — Public Technical Review Draft (PTR-1). Public Technical Review is open from 4 October 2026 through 3 November 2026 at 23:59 UK time. This is not an approved or final WQI edition and may change as a result of review.
WQI Technical Reports present research findings and analysis on specific questions relevant to WiFi Quality, network performance and real-world assessment.
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.
Technical report examining why conventional speed tests are not sufficient indicators of real-world WiFi Quality and user experience.
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.
WQI Position Papers present institutional viewpoints, analysis and discussion on recurring questions relevant to WiFi Quality and wireless network performance.
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.
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 documents support the institutional integrity, publication process and controlled development of WQI materials.
Version 1.2 — 1 October 2026. Foundational governance principles for institutional independence, technical integrity, publication control, the handling of technical disagreements and the reporting of concerns within the WiFi Quality Institute.
Version 1.0 — 7 October 2026. Sets out the WQI's institutional form, founding contributions, foundational funding, economic intellectual-property arrangements and safeguards for methodological and editorial independence. Clarifies the separation from commercial certification activities and the current status of the Steering Committee.
Version 1.0 — 14 October 2026. Establishes how WQI identifies, discloses, assesses and manages actual, potential and perceived conflicts of interest, including recusal, independent review and the connected interests relevant to WQI's current institutional structure.
Editorial principles governing document series, numbering logic and publication procedures within the WQI publication framework.
