What's New in this Release

The following feature is introduced in Cisco Spaces.

Access Point Auto Location

The Access Point Auto Location solution helps to effectively self-locate APs in a global coordinate by combining various ranging technologies and algorithms. The AP Auto Location solution automatically locates your APs on a digital map in Cisco Spaces. This solution delivers accurate, automated, up-to-date AP location leveraging Fine Timing Measurement (FTM) and Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) when available.

For more information, see the "Set Up Access Point Auto Location" section in the chapter "Setup" in the Cisco Spaces Configuration Guide.
