The Cisco® Hyperlocation solution delivers unprecedented 1- to 3-meter Wi-Fi client location accuracy, depending on deployment. 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

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, depending on deployment. 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, and retail staff doing routine price checks.
