Wi-Fi Design in the Era of Big Data Analytics

Simon Fraser University, with the use of big data and machine learning platforms, performed a university-wide Wi-Fi replacement and expansion project. Discussed in this presentation are lessons about the role of evidence-based decision making, challenging the status quo, and the role of human intuition in the presence of AI-generated insights.

Outcomes: Learn how data and analytics tools are being used, with tangible examples * Discover where AI/machine learning helps but how humans are still much better at seeing the forest for the trees * Understand that system/network administrators are increasingly needing to be data scientists
