Location Compute

Location Compute

The UWB feature is designed to provide high-precision indoor positioning within a facility. The primary functions and benefits include:

  • Real-time Data: Enables the sharing of precise indoor location data in real-time.

  • Navigation & Way-finding: Supports seamless navigation and way-finding for users inside buildings.

  • Asset Tracking: Allows for the monitoring and tracking of physical assets within the facility.

  • Operational Insights: Provides valuable data on movement patterns to enhance user experiences and location-based services.

Activate UWB Location

Enable UWB on supported access points in a specific building to allow advanced location and ranging capabilities.

Use this task when you want to activate Ultra-Wideband technology in a building. Activation will start several non-disruptive processes on your controller and access points.

Before you begin

  • Ensure you have administrator access to the controller’s management interface.

  • Verify that the building contains UWB-capable access points.

Follow these steps to activate UWB location:

Procedure

Step 1

In the Location Compute window, click + Activate UWB Location.

The Activate UWB Location slide-in window is displayed.

Step 2

In the Search field, enter the building name.

Step 3

Check the check box for the building where you want to enable UWB.

You cannot select hierarchies that already have UWB activation in progress.

Step 4

Click Activate.

The UWB activation process is initiated.

  • The following actions occur automatically for each floor:

    • The system collects Ultra-Wideband (UWB) ranging data between access points.

    • Access points are grouped into clusters with assigned roles.

    • Cluster configurations are pushed to all APs in the building.

  • Monitor the activation status to ensure all access points are successfully enabled.

All UWB-capable access points within the selected building are enabled for Ultra-Wideband services, allowing advanced location and ranging functionality.

Initiate the UWB activation process.

What to do next

Optionally, verify UWB functionality by checking device location accuracy or reviewing status reports in the platform’s dashboard.
