Cisco Aironet Hyperlocation Module (AIR-ANT-LOC-01=) Installation Guide
System Overview
System Overview
The Hyperlocation module is a 32 element antenna design that provides 360 degree coverage around
supported access points — currently the 3600 and 3700 series APs. It is designed to integrate into the
Cisco Aironet Wireless Security and Location Module (RM3010L) providing precise RF Angle of
Arrival (AoA) information allowing the operating system a much more granular approach to the location
of a client device.
The hyperlocation module along with RM3010L helps in providing a location accuracy of less than a
meter for a wireless clients, using WiFi and Bluetooth technology.
The module operates in both the 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz frequency ranges and is designed for indoor use.
Together with the Hyperlocation module, the Wireless Security and Location Module is fully capable of
providing the following monitoring and security services:
• RRM
• CleanAir
• wIDS/wIPS
• Rogue Detection
• Context Aware – Location
• 802.11ac capability @ 20, 40 and 80 MHz operation
• Integrated Bluetooth Low Energy “BLE” Beacon capability
• External DART connector for location capability with the use of the Hyper-Location module
(antenna array)

System Requirements
System Requirements
This hyperlocation module is designed for indoor use with Cisco Aironet 3600 and 3700 access point
along with the Cisco Aironet Wireless Security and Location module (AIR-RM3010L-UXK9=).
Installing the Modules
Tools and Equipment Required
No specialized tools are required for installing the modules.
Mounting the modules
Step 1 Remove the modules from the packaging.
Step 2 Power down the access point.
Note If you install a module while the AP is powered on, the AP will reboot.
Step 3 Unmount the access point, in the reverse order of installing it.
Step 4 Position the hyperlocation module around the AP as shown in Figure 1. Note that the arrow on the
module and the face of the AP with the logo and LED should be aligned as shown in Figure 1.

Installing the Modules
Step 5 Peel off the Module Port Protective Cover from the back of the access point to reveal the module port
connector, labeled 2 in the following figure.
The PCIe connector on the wireless security and location module will go into the AP’s module port
connector.

Step 6 Align the PCIe connector with the module port connector on the back of the access point and click the
module down into place. Press firmly on the center of the module to properly seat the PCIe connector
into the AP’s module port connector.

Step 7 Screw down the thumb screws on the module, by hand only.
Hand tighten each screw until the resistance is obvious and you know you cannot further tighten the
screws.
Caution Do not use any mechanical tool or device such as pliers or a torque wrench to tighten the screws.
Step 8 Plug in the DART connector of the hyperlocation module in to the DART port on the wireless security
and location module. The final assembly is as shown in Figure 3.
