IoT/Location/Advanced Analytics Server

The AP Registration IoT/Location/Advanced Analytics Server Screen displays configured Aeroscout/Stellar Asset Tracking/OmniVista Cirrus WiFi RTLS/Location Based Service (LBS) Profiles, and is used to create, edit, and delete profiles. OmniVista can integrate with an Aeroscout, Stellar Asset Tracking, and OmniVista Cirrus WiFi RTLS Server to provide Location Based Services (LBS); OmniVista Advanced Analytics to provide advanced analytics data to OmniVista Cirrus 10.1 and above installations. BLE Location Service is a pre-configured service dedicated to OmniAccess Stellar Asset Tracking. LBS/IoT is configured for APs at the AP Group level using the AP Group Screen. Advanced Analytics is configured at the AP or AP Group level on the Access Points or AP Group Screen.

The table below lists the features and engines that are supported on each AP model.
