NOTICE:
Applicable to WL4 Plus only.
The handset is compatible with both Cisco Mobility Service Engine (MSE) and AiRISTA Flow Re-
al Time Location System (RTLS), which give a more accurate location than AP Location. The
handset also supports Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) location service.
Cisco MSE Location
APs measure the client signal strength for received data packets and forward those measure-
ments to the Cisco MSE. Your system administrator must configure the handset for Cisco MSE.
For more information, refer to the the Configuration Manual, Unify OpenScape WLAN Phone
WL4.
AiRISTA Flow RTLS
The handset collects information about the APs and their measured radio field strength and for-
wards this information to the AiRISTA Flow Positioning Engine, which calculates the location of
the handset. Your system administrator must configure the handset for AiRISTA Flow RTLS. For
more information, refer to the Configuration Manual, Unify OpenScape WLAN Phone WL4.
Bluetooth Low Energy
Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) is a form of wireless communication designed specifically for short-
range communication. The BLE technology uses BLE beacons that are strategically mounted
throughout locations, to broadcast BLE signals in a given range. BLE infrastructure works in-
doors and outdoors.
