LaurenFriedman @lauren
RickVanover Will this indoor location technology be only network – can it be “profiled” to people? I used to work in the Business Intelligence aspect of this.
RickVanover This is very interesting
RickVanover oh and application triggers can “draw” people there…
RickVanover the ideas are flowing in the brain of El Rickatron
RickVanover can also use it for workforce optimized order replenishment
RickVanover order fulfillment and replenishment both actually
RickVanover Techgazm
k00laidIT now provided by Meraki
RickVanover API is the unlock.
k00laidIT Wifi is not my strength, but how does the increased number of antennas work with freq. spectrum, would you not have AP bleed over?
wifijanitor yes and no. when you start to get into this area, you need to go dense on the AP. when you go dense on the AP, you drop the power level waaaaay down
RickVanover I prefer drones
RickVanover They will not give snarky comments, nasty looks and less likely to put their finger in my ketchup
k00laidIT Will CleanAir take care of that for you or is it a manual thing?
wifijanitor manual/automagic, for the most part. it would be more towards RRM functionality, but you also have to be able to disable some radios which RRM doesn’t
wifijanitor do on it’s own yet
RickVanover Detect devices, like a “reverse” WIFI Analyse?
RickVanover You guys are so smart
LaurenFriedman @rickvanover: you too kid!

CommsNinja Like IRL pop-ups
RickVanover Well it is a liability mitigation technique

RickVanover automation to reduce liability
CommsNinja bahahaha pop ups
CommsNinja DYAC
LaurenFriedman you guys speak up or I’ll hog
k00laidIT Any form of racing tracking
RickVanover Need a defracker
RickVanover privacy
RickVanover Opt-In For the win
RickVanover Civil liberties groups don’t like Opt-In however
RickVanover b/c usually it’s “buried” details
wifijanitor well, with this type of tracking it has to be opt-in for the most part
RickVanover But the execution is up to someone else
wifijanitor you can be tracked just on the probes from your device, so unless you disable your wifi when you walk in
RickVanover I wonder how many Opt-In’s are ignored…
RickVanover for sure
CommsNinja Thinking about the hierarchy of needs triangle I just saw with wifi added on to the bottom . . .
RickVanover It’s like the new bell to ring
RickVanover nearest maintenance for operations

RickVanover Inception moment here guys…
RickVanover what if this could function like an RFID chip
RickVanover so not just phones and tablets, but what about thinks like inventory controlled items
CommsNinja Everyone who is dialed in is now unmuted. Just say your name before you ask your question so we can ID you
RickVanover It’ll take the public some time to “absorb” it
RickVanover IPv7, your indoor location
skutzer regarding the Privacy about CMX you can Opt Out of Location Analytics -https://meraki.cisco.com/trust#presence
RickVanover right – super saturation can bring other problems
