The Cisco Hyperlocation solution delivers unprecedented 1-3 meters Wi-Fi client location accuracy. It provides always-on advanced security scanning and spectrum intelligence, and multiple Bluetooth low-energy (BLE) beacons. The Hyperlocation modules include:
● Hyperlocation Module with Advanced Security
● Hyperlocation Antenna
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 1-3 meters 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 five different BLE beacons for consumer applications. With this five-beacon advantage, a retail store can have unique applications developed for a shopper, a vendor who fills the merchandise aisle, or a retail staff doing routine price checks.
In addition to the location solution, the Hyperlocation Module with Advanced Security provides the next-generation always-on advanced security scanning and spectrum intelligence that today’s Cisco Aironet Wireless Security Module (WSM) delivers and adds the capability to operate at 20, 40, and 80 MHz.
Features and Benefits
Table 1 lists the features and benefits of the Hyperlocation Module with Advanced Security.
Table 1. Hyperlocation Module with Advanced Security
| Feature | Benefit |
| 1-3 meters location accuracy | Provides 1-3 m location accuracy of associated Wi-Fi clients |
| Next-generation wireless security module | Delivers always-on robust security and policy enforcement, and CleanAir®Spectrum Intelligence for 20-, 40-, and 80-MHz channels |
| BLE beacon | Incorporates five centrally managed virtual BLE beacons with separate Universal Unique Identifiers (UUIDs) and power levels |
| FastLocate | Generates frequent location updates for connected Wi-Fi clients |
| Field-upgradable module | Offers field upgradability of the Cisco AP3602i and AP3602e and Cisco AP3702i and AP3702e Series Access Point Modules with both the Hyperlocation module and the antenna |
Module and Antenna
The Hyperlocation solution involves two field-upgradable hardware modules (Figure 1):
● Hyperlocation Module with Advance Security
● Hyperlocation Antenna
Hyperlocation Module
The Hyperlocation Module with Advanced Security is an evolution of the existing Cisco Aironet WSM; an added advantage is that it expands the capability to include 40- and 80-MHz operation to address 802.11n and 802.11acW1 applications. The module has Wi-Fi RF transmit hardware to potentially take advantage of in the future for features such as neighbor discovery packet and rogue containment.
Additionally, the module incorporates five built-in, centrally managed, BLE beacon radios with five separate UUIDs, each of which can be set to a different transmit power level.
The module also has the added advantage of the FastLocate capability, which provides more frequent location updates for connected clients.
Hyperlocation Antenna
The Cisco Aironet Hyperlocation Antenna is required along with the module to provide the 1-3 meters location accuracy. The array antenna brings Angle-of-Arrival (AoA) capability on top of the existing received signal strength indication (RSSI)-based 5- to 10-meter solution, increasing location accuracy down to 1-3 meters.
Licensing
No additional licenses are needed for the Hyperlocation solution; required licenses follow:
● Cisco Wireless Intrusion Prevention System (WIPS) licenses to enable full WIPS support with the Hyperlocation module:
◦ L-WIPS-MM-1AP: 1 AP WIPS Monitor Mode license
◦ L-WIPS-MM-100AP: 100 AP WIPS Monitor Mode license
◦ L-WIPS-MM-1000AP: 1000 AP WIPS Monitor Mode license
● For Connected Mobile Experiences (CMX) licenses to enable the calculation of the location with the Hyperlocation module or antenna, the following CMX SKU is required per access point:
◦ L-LS-1AP-N: 1 AP CMX Base license, which provides X,Y of the device and location application programming interfaces (APIs)
◦ L-AD-LS-1AP-N: 1 AP CMX Advanced license, which adds analytics to X,Y of the device and analytics API
