6GHz Standard Power (SP) with AFC deployment modes are determined by the venue local conditions:
Venues that require APs with a ruggedized enclosure, such as stadiums, arenas, warehouses or parking lots. These APs should have an integral - also called a built-in - GPS module.
All or most APs receive a GPS signal, either an outdoor installation or an indoor installation in buildings that are permeable to a GPS signal. The Geo-Location Agent is not needed as the AP's integral GPS module assigns each AP geo-location coordinates.
Only some of the APs are exposed to a GPS signal. The Geo-Location Agent allocates the remaining APs' coordinates based on APs that can lock on a GPS signal and AP-to-AP ranging.
Indoor venues using indoor APs. None of the indoor APs have an integral GPS module, so the geo-location coordinates have to be assigned by the Geo-Location Agent based on 11mc FTM AP-to-AP ranging and geo-location coordinates of four or more anchor APs per subgraph. Currently, two use cases are supported:
Anchor APs assigned geo-location coordinates by an operator using the ExtremeCloud IQ IQ Mobile Companion app. Place these APs in areas where an Android phone and the mobile app can provide geo-location coordinates based on a combination of GPS signals, cell phone towers, and Google's proprietary location database.
APs with an integral GPS module installed and exposed to GPS signals. You can install these APs outdoors to provide outdoor service or install them indoors to provide geo-location coordinates. If the anchor APs are outdoor, they are effective only if FTM AP-to-AP ranging can be performed through the building walls.
