The ExtremeCloud IQ Controller 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 collect 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. Anchor APs must have geo-location coordinates to request operating spectrum from the AFC server.
The Geo-Location Agent 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.Note
