Many companies have comprehensive business continuity plans in place to ensure critical systems survive a crisis. But protecting devices and data isn't enough. You also need a plan to reduce potential risk to employees, guests and customers when the doors to your business reopen.
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. In particular, IT departments are taking the lead in helping their organizations answer key questions such as:
WLAN 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 you visit? How long were you 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 uses AI-driven analytics, self-learning Wi-Fi and patented virtual Bluetooth® LE (vBLE) technology to enable seamless and cost-effective deployment of business-critical use cases such as hot zone alerting, user journey intelligence and Proximity tracing.
wirelessmaxx can help its customers to implement new security tasks such as Proximity Tracing, Travel Mapping and Hot Zone Alerting (see below) easily and cost-effectively. With the proven AI-controlled WLAN, the patented virtual Bluetooth® LE and the premium analytics solutions from Mist, measures for tracing contact persons and compliance with distancing measures can be provided in a scalable manner. In addition, customers are provided with 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. Specific 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 using the Mist SDK only collect data configured by the customer 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. Specific 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 using the Mist SDK only collect data configured by the customer 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 who 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 tracking.
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 (close range tracking): If an individual is identified as COVID-19 positive (or exhibiting 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 test positive for COVID-19 from the time they arrive on-site until they leave. The trip map can be used to identify high-traffic zones so customers can implement safety measures such as revising work areas and additional cleaning measures.
- *Hot zone alerting: By looking at the amount of equipment and locations in specific areas, companies can divide or reroute people traffic from congested areas using real-time location-based alerts. They can also look at trends over time to identify specific areas for proactive action.
