Cisco Spaces

The Cisco Spaces location-based platform aims at digitizing your physical business spaces by integrating with your existing Wi-Fi infrastructure to provide actionable insights and drive your customer's business outcomes. Cisco Spaces enables multi-channel engagement that enables you to connect, know, and engage with visitors at their physical business locations. It also provides solutions for monitoring and managing the assets in your premises.

Partner Dashboard

The Cisco Spaces - Partner Dashboard offers Cisco Spaces partners a single location to view, update, add, and test their applications. It also provides the ability to extend the Cisco Spaces platform capabilities through the partner ecosystem. As a partner, you can access location data collected by the wireless access points and use this data to extend your business applications. Both the Cisco Spaces and Cisco Spaces - Partner Dashboard GUIs have been enhanced to support magnetic design implementations. The GUI changes are implemented in the top header panel and the left navigation pane.

Partner Firehose API

The Cisco Spaces - Partner Firehose API provides a steady stream of real-time data as it happens. After the data is processed, it can be visualized, published, and graphed to suit your business needs.

Firehose APIs enable application developers to create and publish their applications to the Partner App Center using the partner ecosystem. This allows independent software vendors to enable vertical-relevant, pre-validated, and tested location-based solution applications as well as publish their live applications to the Partner App Center. For detailed information about Cisco Spaces - Partner Firehose API, go to https://developer.cisco.com/docs/cisco-spaces-firehose/.

After an app is approved and made live in the Partner App Center, it is available for activation by all Cisco Spaces customers. When a customer activates the app, their data starts to flow to your app as events over the Partner Firehose API.

The Partner Dashboard provides the ability to work with third-party application developers to build customized applications for individual businesses and customers by leveraging the power of Cisco Spaces and the Partner Firehose API.

Partner App Center

The Cisco Spaces - Partner App Center showcases apps created by partners like you. The Partner App Center allows customers to browser through the available partner apps, activate the desired apps, and leverage the power of the available partner apps.

After an app is approved and made live in the Cisco Spaces - Partner App Center, it is available to all Cisco Spaces customers for activation. When customers activate your app, their data starts flowing to your app as events over the Partner Firehose API.

When you add a new event to an already activated app, data is sent over the Partner Firehose API only if you subscribe to the new event and accept the permissions. If the New Permission Required notification message is displayed on the app tile, click the tile. Accept the new app permission to subscribe to the new event for the selected app.
