CMX Analytics • Tracks non-associated WiFi clients to derive
foot traffic data
• Provides useful information on behavior for marketing and business intelligence teams
CMX & Cisco WiFi MX• Real-time API to export information on probing
clients
• Increase user engagement
WiFi with Facebook Login• Guests ‘check-in’ on Facebook Page during WiFi
sign-on
• Deliver a social WiFi experience for guests and drive brand visibility
Understanding foot traffic
– People counting sensors give information on number of people within a certain area
Useful information for marketing, facilities
– Understanding variance in traffic by time of day, across sites
Traditional technologies involved infra-red, thermal sensors, or video-assisted
WiFi can be used for the same purpose by counting probing MAC addresses
WiFi can enhance traditional people counting technologies
– Most people carry a ‘smart device’ with WiFi
– WiFi chipsets beacon for SSIDs
– APs can see MAC addresses in range
WiFi is better
– MAC address can be used it to track repeat visits
– Track exact time spent as device probes multiple times within a minute
– Triangulate device location
Meraki’s cloud-managed APs provide CMX
analytics
– Detailed breakdown of passersby and visitors
– Time spent by buckets
– New vs. repeat visits
Hospitality Trends– Understand guest engagement, appeal, loyalty
– Peak hours vs. off hours
– Compare between sites
Marketing and facilities can use data to optimize staffing, advertising
Opt-inStrongly recommend that hotels adopt an opt-in model where guests click-through terms and conditions
Opt-outMeraki provides a global opt-out on our website for guests to input their MAC address and avoid detection by CMX features –
https://account.meraki.com/optout
Data PrivacyRetailer data is not shared with anyone or correlated with any other data
1.User redirected from desired URL to customer-hosted captive portal; Meraki Cloud includes AP MAC and Client MAC in re-direct string
2.Custom splash experience (e.g. coupon, video ad), user sign-up or data collection
3.Captive portal server queries back-end subscriber or CRM database (optional)
1.User is able to click-through, sign up or sign-on, continues to web
Deliver a custom splash experience
– Display pages based on location, user identity (use AP/Client MACs)
– Show video ads, integration with CRM systems (optional)
– Collect data from guests (e.g., phone number, e-mail address) (optional)

Composer
Bluetooth: short-range wireless technology found in smartphones, headsets, &c.
Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) for low-power, low-throughput applications
Beacons use BLE for location services like asset tracking, mobile commerce, and nav- iBeacon is Apple’s BLE trademark
Fast becoming the alternative to WiFi for location servicesMR32, MR72: Integrated Bluetooth to drive location trends
Seamless site-wide deployment by
integrating Beacons into the AP
Better consumer experience with opt-in mobile app integration
Increased customer visibility with both WiFi and Bluetooth analytics built-in
Seamless site-wide deployment with
Bluetooth integrated into the AP
Track Beacon-tagged assets with Bluetooth scanning and location
estimation
Increased administrative visibility with both WiFi and Bluetooth inventory built-in
802.11ac WiFi and embedded BLE-Wide-area beaconing
-Client inventory & macro location analytics
-Remote beacon fleet management
Remote beacon overlay-“Immediate zone” beaconing
-Micro-location mapping (<1m)
Mobile app integration
-Beacon-aware SDKs
PARTNERS
1. Customer orders food using restaurant app
2. Customer enters store; restaurant app detects AP Beacon and alerts staff that customer arrived
3. Order is prepped and delivered to the customer: no lines, no waiting
