The program will use Ookla\u2019s Ekahau Wi-Fi testing tools to assess and certify Wi-Fi networks in various locations. The initial launch of Speedtest Certified will assess a venue\u2019s enterprise network based on several key factors, including Wi-Fi quality, network security, performance metrics, and the internet service provider (ISP).<\/p>\n
In a statement to the media, Chip Strange, Ookla\u2019s Chief Strategy Officer, said, \u201cThe certification process is about bringing forth the technology that we have with Ekahau<\/a> and the brand equity that we have with Speedtest and then creating further differentiation with our customers on how they\u2019re positioning their properties.\u201d<\/p>\n The Speedtest Certified designation will serve as a reliable standard for customers, hotel guests, and event planners to confirm Wi-Fi quality, going beyond simple word-of-mouth recommendations.<\/p>\n If a consumer sees online that a location has been certified by Ookla, they can be confident that the Wi-Fi network is reliable enough for them to work.<\/p>\n \u201cWe recognise that connectivity isn\u2019t a luxury anymore; it\u2019s a requirement for every business in the world and a requirement for us as consumers,\u201d Strange noted.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/WIOCC-Africa-Digital-Backbone.gif\"\/)
