ExtremeLocation Integration

ExtremeCloud provides location analytics by integrating with ExtremeLocation. Additional licensing is needed to access ExtremeLocation. Licensing enforcement is managed by ExtremeLocation.

ExtremeLocation is a cloud-based location tracking and analytics solution by Extreme Networks. Using HTTPS with self-signed certificates, an AP opens WebSocket connections to the ExtremeLocation server and reports RSS signal strength readings based on the ExtremeLocation configuration. An ExtremeLocation user associates the tenant ID and site information with the AP MAC address over the AP WebSocket.

After you enable location analytics in ExtremeCloud, users can log in to ExtremeLocation directly from the ExtremeCloud user interface.

All access points (APs) at a ExtremeCloud site can be configured to use ExtremeLocation. ExtremeCloud allows one device group per site.

APs receive the configuration to report to ExtremeLocation when they check in to ExtremeCloud. The report data itself is sent from the APs directly to ExtremeLocation. The report data is not seen by and does not pass through ExtremeCloud

Individual APs can have radios put into sensor mode. For some AP models, if the radio is not in sensor mode but it is serving ExtremeLocation, the AP can also be configured for either Promiscuous or Hop Off Channel modes. For information about which models support these advanced options, see the Release Notes.

ExtremeCloud and ExtremeLocation are configured separately and maintain separate floor plan configurations.
