Retail Analytical Routers & Shelf Beacons. Built for Complete Store Perimeter & Shelf Mapping.
Deploy Pathway ($999 or $99/mo) and Pathway Ex ($1,299 or $129/mo) in-ceiling analytical hubs at entrances and aisle ends (4-device store minimum), pair Shelf Beacons ($125 + $5/mo) for Bluetooth & height awareness, and cover exterior doors & building corners with Pathway Cone ($1,689 or $168/mo).
In-Ceiling Analytical Routers, Shelf Beacons & Outdoor Cones.
Start with a 4-device Pathway or Pathway Ex store perimeter at your main doors and aisle ends, add Bluetooth Shelf Beacons for vertical height awareness, and secure exterior entrances and building corners with Pathway Cone.
Pathway
$99/mo or $999Analytical Router / Hub • Doors & Aisle Ends
Flush in-ceiling analytical router that maps store entrances, main doors, and the start and end of each aisle. A minimum of 4 devices establishes a complete store perimeter.
Pathway Ex
$129/mo or $1,299Extended Analytical Hub & Beacon Relay
Extended-range in-ceiling analytical router that maps entrances and aisle ends (4-device perimeter minimum) AND actively communicates with shelf Beacons (1 Pathway Ex per 2,500 sq ft).
Beacon
$125 + $5/moShelf-Mounted BLE & Z-Axis Height Sensor
Mounts directly on retail shelves and endcaps. Detects Bluetooth signals only and adds vertical height awareness (top, eye-level, or bottom shelf engagement). Relays through a nearby Pathway Ex.
Pathway Cone
$168/mo or $1,689Outdoor Pathway Ex (+30% Outdoor Casing)
All the extended range and Beacon relay power of the Pathway Ex inside an outdoor-compliant conical weatherproof housing. Deploy one per outdoor entrance and at building corners.
How Pathway Routers, Shelf Beacons & Outdoor Cones Work Together
Every store starts with at least 4 Pathway / Pathway Ex hubs to lock in the interior perimeter, adds hubs at the start and end of each aisle, pairs Shelf Beacons ($125 + $5/mo) to 1 Pathway Ex per 2,500 sq ft for Bluetooth height awareness, and mounts Pathway Cones at exterior entrances and building corners.

Contains zero optical lenses, image sensors, or facial recognition—making it 100% safe to measure fitting room occupancy, dwell duration, and conversion.
Separating staff & families from true buyer conversion
Inflated Counts from Staff & Side-by-Side Walk-Ins
Horizontal infrared beams double-count employees going in and out or miss shoppers walking side-by-side, skewing POS conversion rates by up to 30%.
Automatic Staff Exclusion & Group Resolution
Automatically filters out store associates and distinguishes group/family visits vs. individual buyers for 99.2% true conversion accuracy.
Impact on store Wi-Fi, WAN bandwidth, and NVR servers
Heavy Video Streams & Expensive Local NVRs
AI video analytics require high-bandwidth RTSP streams, rack-mounted GPU appliances in the back office, and complex firewall rules.
Ultra-Lean Cloud Telemetry (Kilobytes/sec)
Processes spatial coordinates on the sensor chip and transmits lightweight JSON metrics over standard PoE or cellular without local servers.
Measure Every Aisle, Fitting Room & Checkout Line Without Cameras.
Journey spatial sensors give visual merchandisers and store operators full-path shopper journeys and dwell heatmaps across 3,500 sq ft per sensor—with zero customer privacy concerns.
