Passive detection of consumer mobile devices (110) (e.g., smartphones, tablets, wearable devices, laptops, etc.) are described. Detection devices (120) may collect probe request for different communication protocols (e.g., WiFi, Bluetooth, NFC, etc.) that may be transmitted at regular intervals by the consumer device (110). The probe requests include management frames that include data used to request a connection to known or preferred networks as well as new networks. Specific pieces of data from the management frames may be extracted and used to create a device model or profile that may uniquely identify the consumer device (110) as the consumer walks throughout defined zones in a retail establishing without requiring the consumer to interact with the device and/or the retail network. |
