Meraki MR34 Cloud Managed AP MR34-HW Data Sheet

CMX Location Analytics

Multi-site analysis and reporting of 
users with WiFi devices 

Meraki’s cloud-managed wireless access points (APs) come equipped with 
the ability to detect user presence based on probe requests beaconing 
from WiFi devices (e.g., smartphones, laptops, and tablets). By exporting 
this data to the Meraki cloud for in-depth analysis, Meraki provides 
real-time analytics on the presence of WiFi devices with intuitive and 
customizable graphs, facilitating useful insight into trends such as foot 
traffic by time of day, new vs. repeat visitors, and visitor dwell time. This 
visibility facilitates a deeper understanding of a WiFi hotspot’s visitors and 
provides insights such as capture rate for a retail outlet or dwell time for a 
hotel lobby or enterprise branch office.

•  APs detect probe requests from all WiFi enabled devices

•  Data sent to Meraki cloud in real-time for aggregation and analysis

•  Intuitive, customizable graphs; view graphs for specific days, 

weeks, or months

•  Statistics on capture rate (clients passing by vs. visitors spending 

time), engagement (time spent within hotspot by visitors), and 
appeal (new vs. repeat visitors)

•  Understand user behavior and foot traffic for specific time periods

•  Use information to make decisions on staffing, storefront design, 

or employee and BYOD policies

•  CMX location API for real-time output of raw data for integration 

with business intelligence and analytics systems

•  Included at no additional cost

Meraki CMX Location Analytics are included and require no 
additional software, hardware, or licenses. By default, all APs gather 
data on probing clients from the surrounding environment and 
upload the data in real-time to the Meraki cloud for analysis, storage 
and presentation in aggregated views.
 

Toggle between simple and detailed graphs to understand metrics 
such as the number of people passing by your site, time spent within 
your location, and the typical repeat visit rate for all users. A calendar 
function allows for customizable time periods; see daily, weekly or 
monthly fluctuations in client traffic to understand peak times of day 
or seasonal fluctuations in device presence.

The Meraki cloud aggregates data from one or many AP endpoints 
and intelligently stitches together statistics from multiple logical sites; 
reports can then be run to present averages of data for one or more 
batches of sites. Generate comparisons between different networks 
within the same organization to analyze user behavior across 
different locations.
