WiFi-based presence detection with Fortinet FortiPresence – automatic check-in and real-time overview of workplace occupancy.

What is the MyDesk + Fortinet integration?

The MyDesk integration with Fortinet (FortiOS / FortiPresence) allows companies to use existing WiFi infrastructure for automatic presence detection. Fortinet is a global leader in cybersecurity and network infrastructure with FortiPresence as a dedicated solution for WiFi-based location analytics.
