Miracast is an industry-wide solution, allowing technology to work across device types and vendors. Connections are easy to set up and use because Miracast devices choose the appropriate settings automatically. Miracast offers the following capabilities:

  • Projection of content from mobile devices to automobile infotainment systems

Wi-Fi Location™

Wi-Fi Location™ networks and devices work together to deliver meter-level indoor location accuracy without the need for separate, location-based infrastructure or costly maintenance. Wi-Fi Location also allows self-locating access points (APs) to establish accurate indoor locations and enable 6 GHz standard power applications. The following capabilities are available through Wi-Fi Location:

  • Determines client device location relative to the broadcasting APs without sharing any information, providing great accuracy without compromising privacy
  • Enables the creation of new, feature-rich applications and services
  • Allows for tracking high-value mobile equipment
  • Improves network management by pinpointing where troubleshooting and maintenance is needed
  • Enables geo-fencing by creating virtual perimeters that trigger actions when devices move in or out of the boundary

Proximity Detection

Proximity Detection technology allows a Wi-Fi device to detect a second Wi-Fi device and connect to it upon reaching a certain distance between them. Proximity Detection utilizes Wi-Fi’s widespread coverage, consumer market penetration, and sub-meter-level accuracy to support a variety of applications and services. Security is paramount, and Proximity Detection safeguards information and protects personal property. Proximity Detection enables the following use cases:

  • Automatically unlocking a device
  • Locating a lost device
  • Transferring connections between devices
