With Zebra’s FTM-capable devices, applications can use the RTT Ranging (distance measuring) technology, accessible through the Google Wi-Fi RTT Service APIs. The application may utilize these native APIs to manage distance-measuring flows, then compute positioning and implement deployment techniques to correlate the real-time positioning with global or local ground references.
Applications may also use the native Android Location Manager and Fused Location Services beyond the native Wi-Fi RTT Service. These additional services provide Applications that compute Global Positioning updates by incorporating Wi-Fi RSSI and other physical sensor data computations and combining location data from exchanges with remote providers, including network-addressing and cellular. However, those global positioning techniques do not incorporate RTT distance measuring.
Zebra devices offer a unique simplification to enabling Locationing use-cases in the form of Zebra’s Wi-Fi Locationing Provider solution.
This document provides integration guidance for using the Zebra Locationing Provider solution.
