I can't see how this would work - the users SSID is not passed in the request headers from their browser to the web server - so "Moodle" can't find this information out. Usually in this sort of scenario I've seen organisations add the full IP range of known addresses, and then use the QR Code rotation process for marking sessions - that way it forces both the use of the university network, and access to the current QR code... of course that doesn't stop people bringing in multiple devices and taking attendance for their friends.
We only get the users originating IP address - The only way I can think this would be possible is to have some form of API that allows Moodle to ask your network infrastructure "what access point does this IP address use" - but that would be heavily dependent on your network infrastructure and heavily custom to your specific environment (and hard to make it generic/useful for other organisations not using the same infrastructure.)
Of course - I'm open to ideas if you have a network engineer that has further ideas on how we could obtain this information safely and reliably from the webserver/moodle.
Also - keep in mind I don't tend to do "feature development" like this for free.. :-)
