When using an IEEE 802.11™ (Wi-Fi®) enabled device, such as your mobile phone, it can use GPS outdoors because it has a clear line of sight to satellites. But indoors—with a roof overhead, surrounding walls, and other obstacles—GPS signals are blocked. While a mapping application can take you to a location with great precision outdoors, the technology for location accuracy indoors is not nearly as precise—but this will soon change as device manufacturers begin to innovate new use cases leveraging IEEE 802.11az™.

With most of the world’s mobile data being increasingly carried on Wi-Fi devices, market demand and new technologies are driving innovation of IEEE 802.11. The IEEE 802.11az standard, commonly referred to as next-generation positioning (NGP), is the evolutionary roadmap of accurate IEEE 802.11 location.

In this webinar, expert speakers will

• Provide an overview of IEEE 802.11az-2022 Next Generation Positioning features and capabilities, focusing on sub-7GHz frequency band support

• Describe the IEEE 802.11 location ranging and positioning roadmap, including the IEEE P802.11bk amendment under development

• Discuss location and ranging use cases and accuracy test results
