Many companies have comprehensive business continuity plans in place to ensure critical systems survive a crisis. However, protecting devices and data isn't enough. You also need a plan to reduce the potential risk to employees, guests, and customers when your business reopens.
The recent COVID-19 pandemic has created a new norm where "user continuity" has become a top IT initiative to support new business continuity plans. Specifically, IT departments are taking the lead in helping their organizations answer key questions such as:
Wi-Fi technology for contact tracing in COVID-19
If someone has identified themselves as positive for a virus (or is showing symptoms), who have they recently come into contact with?
Which areas within the office campus did they visit? How long were they there?
Are there certain areas on campus (i.e., “hot zones”) that are more susceptible to the spread of a virus?
Can proactive measures be taken to prevent unnecessary contact?
wirelessmaxx offers you a unique and powerful solution to promote staff and guest safety as part of your comprehensive business continuity plan. It leverages AI-driven analytics, self-learning Wi-Fi, and patented virtual Bluetooth® LE (vBLE) technology to seamlessly and cost-effectively deploy business-critical use cases such as hot zone alerting, user journey intelligence, and proximity tracing.
wirelessmaxx can help its customers implement new security tasks such as proximity tracing, travel mapping, and hot zone alerting (see below) easily and cost-effectively. With Mist's proven AI-driven Wi-Fi, patented virtual Bluetooth® LE, and premium analytics solutions, contact tracing and social distancing measures can be deployed at scale. Customers also have control options to protect individual privacy.
Visualize historical traffic patterns and dwell times for people who have reported testing positive for Covid-19 - from the moment you arrive on site until you leave.
Note: This is based on the ID of a device, badge, or mobile application. Certain user identities are associated with these IDs only if a) the customer issued the device or badge using part or all of an individual's name in the device identification (e.g., BJSmith's laptop), or b) for personal devices, if the end user has opted to use their name on the device (e.g., Jim's iPhone). Mobile applications that use the Mist SDK collect only customer-configured data and transmit data directly to the customer. Mist does not process or store the data except for location information.
Proximity tracing
Quickly identify the proximity of users who have reported positive tests for Covid-19 to other team members.
Note: This is based on the ID of a device, badge, or mobile application. Certain user identities are associated with these IDs only if a) the customer issued the device or badge using part or all of an individual's name in the device identification (e.g., BJSmith's laptop), or b) for personal devices, if the end user has opted to use their name on the device (e.g., Jim's iPhone). Mobile applications that use the Mist SDK collect only customer-configured data and transmit data directly to the customer. Mist does not process or store the data except for location information.
Hot Zone Alerting
Distribute or redirect traffic away from congested areas with real-time, location-based alerts.
View trends over time to identify problem areas for proactive action.
Note: This is done based on the number of devices and their positions, not based on individual identities
wirelessmaxx works with technology partners that offer comprehensive solutions to support corporate contact tracing, social distancing, and other indoor use cases, such as wearable BLE badges, real-time notification systems, and applications that can leverage Mist's open SDK for high-precision indoor positioning.
By using Mist Wi-Fi access points and microservices in the MIST Cloud in conjunction with Wi-Fi and/or BLE-enabled devices such as phones and badges, organizations can now leverage the following business-critical use cases:
- * Proximity tracing: If an individual is identified as COVID-19 positive (or exhibits symptoms of illness), businesses can quickly identify and notify other employees, guests, or customers who may have been in proximity to that individual while on-site.
- * Journey mapping (traffic pattern recording): Customers can view traffic patterns and dwell times of employees who have tested positive for COVID-19, from the time they arrive on-site until they leave. The journey map can identify high-traffic zones, allowing customers to implement safety measures such as redesigning work areas and implementing additional cleaning procedures.
- * Hot zone alerting: By analyzing the volume of devices and locations in specific areas, companies can divide or redirect pedestrian traffic from congested areas using real-time location-based alerts. They can also examine trends over time to identify specific areas for proactive action.
