Today, we’re excited to unveil Occuspace’s newest sensing capability: native support for WiFi access point data.

This means organizations can now harness their existing WiFi networks to unlock occupancy intelligence as an additional sensing option within the Occuspace platform. Simply turn it on and immediately start making smarter workplace decisions.

For years, our Macro sensor line has set the standard for accuracy, scale, and privacy in occupancy measurement. Now, we’ve extended that same proprietary machine learning engine to interpret Bluetooth and WiFi signal patterns coming from infrastructure you already have. With a single integration, your WiFi network becomes a powerful sensing layer, all without capturing any PII or tracking any individual connections.

Why this Matters

Leveraging your existing WiFi footprint is one of the fastest ways to start understanding how your buildings and floors are actually used. It’s a viable option for organizations beginning their space utilization journey or looking to expand measurement across large global portfolios.

And when you’re ready to zoom in (at the room or small neighborhood level), that’s when dedicated sensors come in. WiFi gives you broad coverage; sensors give you precision. And because both layers are powered by the same machine learning engine, Occuspace can deliver high-resolution insights with up to 20x fewer sensors than traditional camera or overhead sensor based approaches. Less hardware. Less complexity. Zero PII. Same unified data platform.

A Unified Platform for Every Level of Granularity
‍

The real question isn’t WiFi or sensors - it's having the flexibility to choose the solution that's best for your situation. Occuspace brings these data sources together into one AI-powered platform, giving teams a complete and flexible way to measure utilization without managing separate tools or workflows.

Whether you start with WiFi, sensors, or both, the result is the same: clean, actionable occupancy intelligence your teams can trust.

If you’re interested in enabling WiFi-based occupancy sensing on your network, or want to see how it pairs with Macro (and Micro) sensors for deeper granularity, you can get started here.
