Which standard supported by some Aruba APs can enable a customer to accurately locate wireless client devices within a few meters?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

The standard that is supported by some Aruba APs and can enable a customer to accurately locate wireless client devices within a few meters is

A) 802.11mc.

802.11mc is an IEEE standard that enables computing devices to measure the distance to nearby Wi-Fi access points using a technique called Fine Timing Measurement (FTM). FTM uses precise timestamps to calculate the round-trip time of Wi-Fi frames between the device and the access point, and then converts it to a distance estimate. By using multiple access points and triangulation methods, the device can determine its location with high accuracy1.

According to the Aruba document 802.11mc Support, this feature is supported on 500 Series, 510 Series, 530 Series, 550 Series, 560 Series and 570 Series access points. These APs act as FTM responders to time measurement queries sent from a client. To configure the AP to send FTM responses, you need to enable the ftm-responder-enable parameter in the WLAN SSID profile1.

802.11W is for security, not location.

I thought 802.11r was related to fast roaming, so I don’t think it’s the right choice. I really hope I’m remembering this correctly!

I’m leaning towards 802.11mc too, but I keep mixing it up with 802.11W. I just can’t remember what W was for.

I feel like I’ve seen a similar question before, and I think 802.11k was mentioned in that context, but it was more about network optimization, right?

I think the answer might be 802.11mc, but I'm not completely sure. I remember it had something to do with location services.

I'm a bit confused on the differences between these 802.11 standards. I'll have to review my notes to make sure I understand which one is for location services.

Okay, let me think this through. 802.11mc seems like the most likely answer since it's specifically about location services. I'll go with that.

CMYK seems related to color choices rather than navigation. It doesn't feel like the right answer at all.

802.11mc? More like 802.11 'Meh' if you ask me. How about we just slap a GPS on the client and call it a day?
