Orange is a big player on this market, probably thanks to the fact that (as another user mentioned) Alcatel is one of the largest manufacturer (both historical french companies). You can follow Jean-Luc Vuillemin [0] on Twitter for very in

Yes but rogue femto cells for this purpose have been ruled illegal in France and, I believe, all EU countries. Retailers rollbacked to IR sensors and now are slowly adopting counters on cameras with deep learning for disambiguation.

I can't tell if you're sitting on a gold mine or about to get very, very depressed very, very quickly. I am, however, pretty sure there's no middle ground. Wish you all the best but I would never trade my job for yours, I val
