(Graphic: Business Wire) Driving rapid adoption of Kiana's cloud-based technology are innovations that enable organizations across industries to leverage their social WiFi (News - Alert) infrastructure to capture visitor traffic and demographic data. Kiana's Universal Device Detection uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to recognize all mobile devices and wearables - connected, passive, Android (News - Alert) and iOS - so that businesses can optimize resources across a site, refine marketing campaigns and/or engage directly with customers via targeted surveys and loyalty programs. Visitors opt-in to guest WiFi using Facebook (News - Alert), email, or their mobile phone number, enabling Kiana to analyze the frequency of their in-store or location visits over time. Kiana's real-time location services (RTLS) detect and analyze tens of thousands of visitors per day, making the software ideal for high-traffic locations and geo marketing. The software enables hundreds of VARs, System Designers and Integrators to offer their customers market-leading RTLS proximity accuracy and speed that analyzes tens of thousands of people per day. New Kiana Engage Features New features in the company's latest release, Kiana Engage, enable companies across industries and countries to speed and improve decision making through enhanced analytics and other innovative features, including:
"New directional antennas, non-uniform antenna patterns, walls, and signal reflections, make it challenging for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to measure location accurately. Kiana Engage offers retailers, shopping centers, large venues and other businesses the ability to calibrate the trilateration system using fingerprinting methods that overcome this challenge. The capability will enable the thousands of customers worldwide using our enterprise-grade Wi-Fi access points to measure visitor behavior accurately across a site in order to make more profitable business decisions," explained Koroush Saraf, Vice President Product Management, Fortinet. Convention Center Increases Revenues with Kiana Data Messe Stuttgart, one of Germany's largest convention centers, draws more than one million visitors to lifestyle and consumer-focused events each year. The Center, which has 9 halls, and over 105,200 square-meters of meeting space, has been using Kiana since fall 2016 to improve operations, generate new business, and provide valuable marketing insight for exhibitors. "Kiana Engage delivers the 'infonomics' needed to increase exhibitor development and loyalty. We are able to show area transition analysis to roughly 5,000 exhibitors annually, providing them with real-time or historical analysis of their actual booth activity. For instance, we can show an auto manufacturer in real time how many visitors stopped, and for how long, to look at one car model versus another - as well as how many walked past the exhibit. The following year, the exhibitor can see which visitors were new versus repeat, helping to refine their marketing programs. It's a great value-add," said Mr. Rudolf Anders, CIO, Messe Stuttgart.
