Kiana Analytics detects and analyzes tens of thousands of visitors per day, making it ideal for high-traffic locations and geo marketing.

Event attendees are encouraged to visit Kiana at the company's booth or in the Smart City Pavilion for a live demonstration of HP Aruba and Kiana cloud-based solutions in action, featuring:
