Presence Analytics
Presence analytics is a comprehensive location analytics and engagement platform that detects presence
of visitors by determining which is the nearest access point to the visitor Wi-Fi device. With the CMX
location analytics, organizations get a lot of useful business intelligence from the wireless and location
technologies. For location technology to work, you require precise maps and triangulated computation
from at least three Access Points (APs). In case of organizations with one or two APs, it is not possible
to do a triangulated location computation. With presence analytics, the organizations with one or two AP
deployments can still use the wireless technology to understand the customer pattern and behavior.

The presence analytics uses Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI), along with the duration of high
signal strength to determine whether a client device is in the site or just passing by. Data collected by
the APs is reported in the Analytics dashboard.

When a visitor is redirected to Visitor Connect splash page, the user is given an option to login
with social network credentials. The user is placed into the SOCIAL group if social network
credentials are used. The user is placed into the BASIC group if no social credentials are used.
with social network credentials. The user is placed into the SOCIAL group if social network
credentials are used. The user is placed into the BASIC group if no social credentials are used.
–
If the usage limit of the visitor is zero, then the MSE does not check usage against the limit. If
the usage is greater than zero, the location MSE checks usage against the limit for visitors with
the usage limit. When the client usage is over the limit, the MSE sends NMSP message to
Controllers to de-authenticate the user. When the visitor tries to connect again, he will be
redirected to visitor connect portal.
