Behind this dataset

Same schema. As many rows as you need.

These 300 rows came out of a blueprint — 18 columns with generation rules behind each one. Open it in Data Factory to retune a column, add your own, wire in foreign keys, and run it at the size you actually need.

Rules it was built with
  • Access point MAC address and SSID (service set identifier)
  • Location: venue name, GPS coordinates, coverage area
  • Wi-Fi standard: 802.11n, 802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5), 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6)
  • Channel utilization percentage and co-channel interference
  • Connected clients count and peak concurrent users
  • Authentication method: EAP-SIM (SIM-based), Hotspot 2.0 (Passpoint)
  • Average throughput per client (Mbps) and total AP throughput
  • Roaming success rate between APs (fast roaming 802.11r)
