"Assessing and providing some validation for properties is something that's been on our radar for quite some time," Giles said. "The challenge has always been: You can't do it very well with crowdsourced data, because it's variable. You need a controlled test."
"Speedtest Certified will provide a comprehensive and objective assessment of a venue's enterprise network deployment, measuring key factors such as Wi-Fi radio frequency (RF) quality, Wi-Fi network configuration, Wi-Fi network security assessment, network performance metrics, and ISP backhaul," the press release said."

""It's a little more complicated," said Giles, "but we're planning to expand [to cellular] in 2026 to get a more comprehensive view for users.""
Ookla launched Speedtest Certified to provide formal validation of properties with superior connectivity. The program initially evaluates Wi‑Fi networks and measures Wi‑Fi RF quality, network configuration, security assessments, performance metrics, and ISP backhaul. Target properties include hotels, stadiums, event venues, office buildings, airports, and potentially universities. Testing relies on controlled assessments rather than variable crowdsourced data to produce objective results. Property owners request certification, triggering an audit and a report detailing measured metrics. Testing schedules must account for real-world conditions such as high-traffic events. Cellular evaluation expansion is planned for 2026 to broaden the assessment scope.
