This data is often used to measure and segment visits, understand where customers are coming from and their preferences. They can also be combined with other data, such as demographics, to better understand what&#8217;s happening in a particular location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The value of Wi-Fi technology for foot traffic analysis <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to capturing this data on foot traffic analysis, there are several technologies on the market. Wi-Fi stands out among them. In this case, we take advantage of the signals emitted by devices when they are not connected to the network (even in many cases with the Wi-Fi button turned off). Therefore, <strong>we count devices<\/strong>, not people, both connected and not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wi-Fi has certain advantages that make it stand out among other technologies, such as:  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>You don&#8217;t need to annoy the user<\/strong>, install apps, or grant permissions. You don&#8217;t need to activate Bluetooth, or GPS. In most cases, you don&#8217;t even need the smartphone to have the Wi-Fi button active.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You need <strong>to deploy less hardware<\/strong> than with a camera system, volumetric sensors, RFID, specks, beacons, etc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In addition, <strong>the same network that is providing a quality Internet access service can be used<\/strong> for analytics, without any degradation of the service.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, in environments such as stores or shopping malls, where there are people who work during their day, but there are also visitors and customers, it is important to note that <strong>we can separate visiting devices from devices that correspond to workers, or those that are permanent. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the main challenge and how do we solve it? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"551\" src=\"https:\/\/www.galgus.ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Galgus-Fingerprint-para-el-analisis-del-trafico-peatonal-en-retail-1024x551.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23482\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.galgus.ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Galgus-Fingerprint-para-el-analisis-del-trafico-peatonal-en-retail-1024x551.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.galgus.ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Galgus-Fingerprint-para-el-analisis-del-trafico-peatonal-en-retail-300x162.png 300w, https:\/\/www.galgus.ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Galgus-Fingerprint-para-el-analisis-del-trafico-peatonal-en-retail-768x413.png 768w, https:\/\/www.galgus.ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Galgus-Fingerprint-para-el-analisis-del-trafico-peatonal-en-retail.png 1081w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This is <strong>the randomization of the MAC addresses<\/strong> of the devices. Those who are less than 4 years old continuously spoof (rotating) random MAC addresses. Some smartphones show 100 different MACs in a minute, while others show only a couple of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, <strong>it is useless to make &#8220;rules of three&#8221; to try to &#8220;translate&#8221;<\/strong> MACs to devices directly. In addition, this behavior changes every few months with new releases of operating systems or new models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For devices connected to the Wi-Fi network, they have a MAC that is fixed and stable as long as they connect to the same SSID, so it can be tracked inside the facility, know if it is the same customer returning to the establishment, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, for non-connected devices, the MAC rotates continuously and poses a major challenge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span class=\"TextRun SCXW89633177 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW89633177 BCX0\">At <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SpellingErrorV2Themed SCXW89633177 BCX0\">Galgus<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW89633177 BCX0\">, <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW89633177 BCX0\">we&#8217;ve<\/span> <span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW89633177 BCX0\">solved<\/span> <span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW89633177 BCX0\">this<\/span> <span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW89633177 BCX0\">by<\/span> <span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW89633177 BCX0\">creating<\/span> <\/span><span class=\"TextRun SCXW89633177 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW89633177 BCX0\" data-ccp-charstyle=\"Hyperlink\">an<\/span><\/span><span class=\"TextRun SCXW89633177 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.galgus.ai\/en\/blog\/galgus-fingerprint-counting-unconnected-wifi-devices\/\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW89633177 BCX0\"> AI-<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW89633177 BCX0\">based<\/span> <span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW89633177 BCX0\">fingerprint<\/span><\/a> <span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW89633177 BCX0\">that<\/span> <span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW89633177 BCX0\">identifies<\/span> <span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW89633177 BCX0\">the<\/span> <span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW89633177 BCX0\">device<\/span><\/span><\/strong><span class=\"TextRun SCXW89633177 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"> <span class=\"NormalTextRun ContextualSpellingAndGrammarErrorV2Themed SCXW89633177 BCX0\">as&nbsp; <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun ContextualSpellingAndGrammarErrorV2Themed SCXW89633177 BCX0\">long<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW89633177 BCX0\"> as <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW89633177 BCX0\">it<\/span> <span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW89633177 BCX0\">remains<\/span> <span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW89633177 BCX0\">near<\/span> <span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW89633177 BCX0\">our<\/span> <span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW89633177 BCX0\">APs<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW89633177 BCX0\">. <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW89633177 BCX0\">Therefore<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW89633177 BCX0\">, <\/span><\/span><a class=\"Hyperlink SCXW89633177 BCX0\" href=\"https:\/\/www.galgus.ai\/en\/blog\/how-ai-makes-galgus-wi-fi-geolocation-analytics-the-most-accurate-on-the-market\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span class=\"TextRun SCXW89633177 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW89633177 BCX0\" data-ccp-charstyle=\"Hyperlink\">the accuracy of these measurements increases significantly<\/span><\/span><\/a><span class=\"TextRun SCXW89633177 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW89633177 BCX0\">.<\/span><\/span><span class=\"EOP SCXW89633177 BCX0\" data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Applications of foot traffic analysis in retail <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Successful retailers understand that there is a direct correlation between foot traffic and the store&#8217;s bottom line, and therefore underscore the critical importance of monitoring and optimizing it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This opens the door to a series of applications that can be summarized as: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.
