Figure 228:Timing Factors Impacting Location Accuracy
These best practices are recommended when configuring hardware infrastructure:
l For legacy autonomous APs, ensure on the Group > Radio page that Rogue Scanning is enabled and the interval is
accurate, as shown in Figure 229:
Figure 229:Group Rogue Scanning Configuration
l For thin APs, ensure that the controllers are configured to gather RF information from the thin APs frequently.
l For Cisco LWAPP, navigate to Groups > Cisco WLC Config page in AirWave. Navigate the tree control to the
Wireless section, and for each PHY navigate to RRM > General section. Review the values in the Monitor
Intervals section. These should be configured to a recommended setting of 180 for better accuracy.
Deploying APs for Client Location Accuracy
Deploying access points for client location accuracy can be different than deploying access points for capacity. Follow
these guidelines for best results:
l Ensure that at least 3 radios can hear each client devices at -85 dBm or below
l Ensure that you deploy an access point approximately every 3,500 square feet.
l For square or rectangular floor plans ensure access points are deployed on the exterior walls of each floor with access
points in the middle as well.
Refer to Figure 230 for an example.
