FortiPresence VM is deployed locally on your site and consists of two virtual machines. All the analytics data collected and computed resides locally on the VMs.
The existing Fortinet access points deployed at business establishments are leveraged to detect WiFi signals from customer. In a typical business setup, visitor smartphones/devices probe for wireless access points, FortiPresence VM uses the signals emitted from these smartphones/devices to detect customer presence and record their location and movements. This information along with the social network authentication logins with Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, Instagram, or FortiPresence using your WiFi infrastructure is then processed by the VMs and presented on the customizable dashboards on the FortiPresence VM GUI.
