Advanced Security
The Cisco
®
Hyperlocation solution delivers unprecedented 1- to 3-meter Wi-Fi client location accuracy. It provides
always-on advanced security scanning and spectrum intelligence, and multiple Bluetooth low-energy (BLE)
beacons. And now, with the addition of client applications downloaded to the mobile device, location updates take
place in near real time. The Hyperlocation modules include:
●
Hyperlocation Module with Advanced Security
●
Hyperlocation Antenna
●
Client application developed using Phunware SDK
Product Overview
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 in
malls, hospitals, and hotels; flexible employee workspace use; tracking wait times at airport security lines; retail
product placement; etc. 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 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 for associated Wi-Fi clients. This solution takes advantage of existing Cisco Wi-Fi networks and
can be centrally managed. The Cisco Hyperlocation Module with Advanced Security also integrates BLE beacons
with the module. Customers can take advantage of hassle-free BLE beacon deployment that is powered over
Ethernet and centrally managed from the convenience of a data center. This model eliminates the need for local IT
engineers to do a walk-by inspection of BLE beacon health using applications on their smart devices. Cisco
Hyperlocation brings virtual beacon technology so that a single Hyperlocation module provides multiple BLE
beacons for consumer applications. With this advantage, a retail store can have unique applications developed for
a shopper, a vendor who fills the merchandise aisle, and retail staff doing routine price checks.
