IEEE 802.11mc

IEEE 802.11mc is an update to Wi-Fi technology that improves how devices determine their location indoors. It allows devices like smartphones or tablets to quickly and accurately find their position within buildings such as malls or offices. The update introduces a method called Fine Timing Measurement (FTM), which measures the time it takes for signals to travel between the device and access points. This precise timing enables location accuracy typically within a few centimeters. Overall, IEEE 802.11mc enhances indoor navigation, asset tracking, and spatial services by making indoor positioning faster and more reliable.
