the Cisco 3600 and Cisco 3700 Access Points to calculate the location of Wi-Fi
clients.
The Cisco Hyperlocation module utilizes the Angle-of-Arrival (AoA) information gathered from a phase-array antenna
to locate associated Wi-Fi clients more precisely and quickly than traditional RSSI based location solutions.
The overall system that include the Cisco Hyperlocation modules requires a combination of a specific version of the
Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) that enables the gathering of measurements from the phase-array antenna. A
version of Cisco Prime Infrastructure (PI) is required during the initial setup, but is not a part of the ongoing location
calculations. Cisco PI is used to record the placement or change in placement of the APs, including X, Y, height, and
orientation. A version of Cisco Connected Mobile Experiences (CMX) 10.2.2 is also required. Cisco CMX uses the
locations of the Aps, the phase array data and RSSI data to calculate the location of an associated Wi-Fi client, which
is then used by the Cisco CMX API or as an input for Cisco CMX Analytics.

Summary of the Installation and Setup Process
The process involved in setting up a Hyperlocation Proof of Concept (POC) deployment is the same as setting up a
traditional location-enabled wireless network. The additional steps pertains to the work that is done within the existing
GUIs that are required to set up the network that a system administrator normally works with.
The major steps involved in setting up a Hyperlocation system are:
traditional location-enabled wireless network. The additional steps pertains to the work that is done within the existing
GUIs that are required to set up the network that a system administrator normally works with.
The major steps involved in setting up a Hyperlocation system are:
1. Assemble the APs and mount them to the ceiling, recording the exact X, Y, height, and orientation of the
devices.
2. Install Cisco WLC and connect the APs to Cisco WLC.
3. Enable the functions that are required, including Hyperlocation, in Cisco WLC.
4. Import Cisco WLC into Cisco PI.
5. Place the AP on the map in Cisco PI.
6. Save and export the map from Cisco PI to a local storage point.
7. Install Cisco CMX.
8. Configure and enable Hyperlocation.
9. Import the map from the local storage point.
10. Verify that the system is showing the clients correctly on the map and that the APs are placed and oriented

9. Import the map from the local storage point.
10. Verify that the system is showing the clients correctly on the map and that the APs are placed and oriented
correctly.
11. Complete Location Accuracy testing of static clients to determine the level of accuracy obtained.
By following these basic steps, a system can be up and running within one day, and the accuracy of the system can
be gauged.
Note: Improving the accuracy of the system can be accomplished by adding additional APs into areas where clients
may not be seen correctly.
Assumptions and Recommendations
It is important to understand that Hyperlocation requires a certain set of configurations. Besides this, there are some
assumptions that need to be understood when deploying a system.
Please read and understand this document completely before beginning the installation.
All the APs on a specific floor must have Hyperlocation modules.
Hyperlocation is used only to calculate the location of associated devices. The location of non-associated
devices in the same network is calculated using the standard probe-packet location via triangulation.
