InJuniper Mist Wireless Assurance,Service Level Expectations (SLEs)are key metrics that measure different aspects of the end-user experience. Each SLE focuses on a distinct area of network performance such asConnection,Roaming,Throughput, andCoverage.
TheCoverage SLEspecifically measures whether wireless clients are receiving adequate signal strength (RSSI) and signal quality (SNR) from access points. According to theJuniper Mist AI Operations and SLE Analytics Guide, this metric is defined as:
“The Coverage SLE quantifies the percentage of client sessions that meet the required signal strength and quality thresholds. Low coverage indicates areas with weak or inconsistent RF signal levels.”
When users experienceweak signal or dead zones, theCoverage SLEprovides insight into where and why these issues occur. Mist AI identifies sub-classifiers such asSignal Quality,Wi-Fi Interference, orAirtime Utilization, allowing administrators to isolate the cause of poor signal conditions.
Therefore, in the exhibit shown, an administrator would investigate theCoverage SLE (79%), as it directly relates to signal weakness or RF coverage problems.
