The Cisco Hyperlocation solution delivers unprecedented average Wi-Fi client location accuracy of 1 to 3 meters. The solution is powered through a combination of these Cisco technologies:
● Cisco Aironet 4800 Access Point
● Cisco Spaces
● Cisco Connected Mobile Experiences (CMX) Location Engine
The same business and personal benefits that GPS and mobile map services have brought to the outdoors are now being realized in the indoor enterprise space. The applications are numerous, and they include wayfinding and proximity engagement in malls, hospitals, and hotels; flexible employee workspace use; tracking wait times at airport security lines; and retail product placement. To date, the solutions that cater to these applications have multiple challenges and limitations, such as coarse 5- to 10-meter accuracy and slow location refresh, along with nonstandard, expensive approaches using video and RF technology. Occasionally, these solutions cleverly use battery-powered Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacons that, although simple in concept, are logistically and operationally onerous.
The Cisco Hyperlocation solution introduces hardware and software innovation that can deliver 1- to 3-meter location accuracy on average for associated Wi-Fi clients. The foundation of the solution is the next-generation Cisco Aironet 4800 Access Point. The access point has our proven Hyperlocation antenna array and an additional Wi-Fi radio built into the unit. Using a Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) and the angle of arrival supported through this technology, you can triangulate the location of associated Wi-Fi mobile clients and BLE devices with pinpoint accuracy. The access point also provides a hassle-free BLE beacon deployment that is powered over Ethernet and centrally managed from the convenience of a data center. As a result, local IT engineers do not need to perform walk-by inspections of BLE beacon health using applications on their smart devices.
By combining BLE signal and location data from the Hyperlocation antenna in the Aironet 4800 with sensors on the mobile client, location can be determined to within 1 to 3 meters on average, in near real time. In navigation and wayfinding applications, the result is a true blue dot experience. Customers can find their location, pinpoint nearby points of interest, and, using a mapping application, determine the fastest path to their destination.
