AP Auto Placement

Phil’s team has to map & place Access Points at their new site

They get this done within minutes. Cisco Spaces precisely locates all the APs, automatically places them on floor maps and continuously monitors the deployment for changes - no more manual mapping, delayed deployments and expensive professional services. This also improves location accuracy and indoor location outcomes

Automatically determine the location of Access Points in your buildings and place them on a digital floor map using Fine Timing Measurement (FTM), GPS, Spaces Digital Maps and Spaces Cloud Location.

If GPS capable APs are used and they are located in an area that can acquire a good GPS signal, the placement can be completely automatic. Otherwise, the feature will determine the position of the APs relative to one another and an administrator will need to adjust the AP cluster on a Spaces digital map, for the APs to be automatically placed.

Business Impact

Access Point placement is often done manually, through site surveys and hand static placements. It often requires costly professional services. Typical IT teams spend about 7 mins per AP, to manually place them on maps. For a building with 1000 APs it adds up to around 3 work weeks! Site surveys and physical verification increase the time taken, substantially.

Automate AP placement with Cisco Spaces, reducing deployment time and the complexity associated with manual mapping.
