Meridian connects to WiFi analytics, videoconferencing systems, space booking systems, entryway sensors, VergeSense Infinity area sensors, or other data sources via direct integration or configurable via API. Each source adds a layer of occupancy intelligence, and you can start with whatever you already have in place. No new hardware is required to begin generating forecasts and planning insights.

No new hardware is required for WiFi, booking, videoconferencing, or badge integrations. VergeSense connects to your existing infrastructure through native integrations with leading enterprise platforms, including Cisco, HPE Aruba, Juniper Mist, Logitech Rally Bars, and major space booking systems. Most integrations are live within days of configuration.

WiFi analytics deliver up to 85% accuracy for building and floor-level people count reliable enough to establish attendance baselines and feed demand forecasts. Infinity area sensors deliver 95%+ accuracy at the space level, capturing headcount, passive occupancy, and space configuration changes that WiFi can't detect. The two sources are complementary: WiFi gives you the macro picture, sensors give you the space-level detail.

Yes. WiFi, booking, videoconferencing, and badge data are all supported inputs for Meridian's Predictive Planning capability. Predictive Planning can generate demand forecasts and scenario models from any combination of these sources, and for spaces with no measurement data at all, it uses behavioral benchmarks calibrated to your industry and building type. Sensors improve precision over time, but they're never a prerequisite.

A ghost meeting is a room reservation where no one showed up, or where attendees left without releasing the booking. Ghost meetings are one of the leading causes of perceived space scarcity. VergeSense detects them by comparing booking system data against sensor or WiFi occupancy data, then quantifies the frequency and cost by room, floor, and building so you can take targeted action.

Each data source you connect adds a layer to your occupancy baseline. Badge data tells you who came into the building. WiFi tells you how many people are there. Booking data tells you what they intended to use. Entryway sensors tell you how traffic moves floor by floor. Infinity area sensors and videoconferencing data tell you what actually happened inside each space, including the desks and rooms people claimed without booking them. Already have sensors from another vendor? Bring that data in too, rather than replacing what you've already installed. Together, these signals give Meridian the richest possible foundation for demand forecasts, scenario models, and planning recommendations.

Entryway sensors count people as they move through a threshold, they're designed for building and floor-level attendance measurement. Area sensors like Infinity monitor what's happening inside a space: headcount, passive occupancy, furniture configuration, and layout changes. Entryway sensors give you the macro picture; area sensors give you space-level precision. Used together, they provide a complete view from portfolio down to individual room.
