Note
The ExtremeCloud IQ Mobile Companion app is supported on both ExtremeCloud IQ and ExtremeCloud IQ Controller. You do not need separate apps for each system.
The ExtremeCloud IQ Mobile Companion app (AFC Mobile app) is a smart phone app that provides geo-location coordinates to anchor APs. Use it during your deployment to assign geo-location coordinates for your anchor APs if the anchor APs do not have an integrated GPS unit or if your anchor AP cannot obtain geo-location coordinates.
The Geo-Location Agent within ExtremeCloud IQ and ExtremeCloud IQ Controller uses the AFC Mobile app coordinates as long as it can ensure that the anchor AP to which the coordinates are assigned has not physically moved. If the Geo-Location Agent detects that an anchor AP has moved from its original location, the coordinates are removed from the system and the installer must us the AFC Mobile app to reassign coordinates to the AP.
Note
Coordinates provided by the AFC Mobile app have priority over GPS-provided coordinates.For information on using the AFC Mobile App, see Set Anchor APs with Mobile App. The ExtremeCloud IQ Mobile Companion app is available on Google Play and is supported on Android.
