Product — Macro Sensor

Wide-Area Occupancy Intelligence

Macro sensors cover thousands of square feet per device. Get live occupancy, traffic, and dwell time data in minutes. No cameras. No personal data. Just the insights you need to make every space work smarter.
Designed for Big Spaces

Bring Clarity to Your Biggest Spaces

One Macro sensor covers 2,000–3,000 sq ft, making it the most efficient way to get occupancy intelligence across sprawling open environments — without deploying dozens of devices.

Workspaces

Track team use of shared spaces and hot desks — no privacy trade-offs. Know which zones fill up first and which go untouched all day.

Lobbies & Common Areas

See foot traffic and peak times in busy spots at a glance. Optimize staffing, signage, and layout for the moments that matter.

Libraries & Dining Halls

Find out how long people stay and when spaces fill up. Right-size hours of operation, staffing, and services around real demand.

Floors & Neighborhoods

Spot building-wide trends with just a few sensors per floor. Identify which neighborhoods to consolidate, expand, or repurpose.
Passive. Private. Precise.

How Macro Works

Macro measures occupancy in big areas using passive scanning — no cameras, no device connections, no personal data ever leaves the sensor.

Passive Scanning

Detects anonymous BLE and Wi-Fi signals emitted naturally by nearby devices — no connections made.

Cloud ML Analysis

Occuspace's machine learning engine converts signal patterns into accurate people counts, traffic flows, and dwell times.

Real-Time Metrics

Live occupancy, traffic, and dwell time data — updated every minute — surface in the Occuspace portal and your existing tools.

Continuous Insight

Historical trends, peak analysis, and utilization reporting help you make smarter decisions over time, not just today.
Built for Wide Coverage

Why Teams Choose Macro

Three reasons facilities teams, CRE directors, and campus planners choose Macro to cover the spaces that matter most.

Wide-Area Coverage

One Macro sensor blankets thousands of square feet — open floors, lobbies, dining halls, and libraries — so you cover big spaces with far fewer devices.

Minutes to Deploy

Plug in and go. Managed cellular means no wiring and no IT tickets, with live occupancy data in minutes and a full building live in a day or two.

Privacy by Design

No cameras, and no personal data ever leaves the sensor. Anonymous signal detection clears enterprise and government IT review with ease.

From Macro to Metrics

Turn Big-Space Data Into Decisions

AI-Powered Accuracy

Our ML models are trained on millions of occupancy events across thousands of real-world spaces, delivering 95%+ accuracy even in complex environments.

Real-Time Data

Minute-by-minute occupancy updates mean your dashboards, signage, and integrations always reflect what's happening right now — not an hour ago.

Privacy by Design

No personal data is ever collected, transmitted, or stored. Privacy-first architecture means no compliance headaches, no consent workflows, no audits.

Easy Rollout

No network configuration, no IT tickets, no contractors. Macro is self-contained and self-connecting. Most teams are live within a single day.

Common Questions

Does Macro collect personal data?

No. Macro passively detects the presence of BLE and Wi-Fi signals, but MAC addresses are immediately hashed on-device before any data is transmitted. No personally identifiable information is ever collected, stored, or shared. No one can be identified or tracked.

Does Macro connect to people's devices?

No. Macro is a passive listener only — it never initiates connections, pairs with devices, or sends anything to the devices it detects. Devices in the space are entirely unaware of the sensor.

How quickly can we get live data after installing Macro?

Most customers see live occupancy data within minutes of plugging in a sensor. A full building deployment typically takes one to two days. There's no network configuration, no IT dependency, and no contractor required.

What network options does Macro support?

Macro includes managed cellular connectivity at no additional charge — no Wi-Fi configuration needed. It also supports Wi-Fi and Ethernet for environments where cellular is not preferred. You choose what works best for your facility.

What kinds of spaces is Macro best suited for?

Macro excels in large, open environments: open-plan offices, lobbies, dining halls, libraries, whole floors, and campus common areas. For enclosed spaces like individual meeting rooms or private offices, Micro sensors provide room-level precision.

Can Macro work alongside Micro sensors?

Yes — and this is a common configuration. Macro covers open floors and shared zones while Micro sensors provide detailed room-level and desk-level data. Together they give you complete occupancy intelligence across an entire building or campus.
