Location Accuracy
Testing Location Accuracy
You can perform a location accuracy test for a single device with multiple location points. You can use the Location Accuracy Test tool to validate the placement and number of access points (APs), for a good location accuracy experience. The Location Accuracy tool provides you (the administrator) with the ability to quantify the location accuracy for a specific location. During the Location Accuracy test, the administrator uses a wireless client device to measure the difference between the actual and the calculated location of a device.
