Location services answer business-critical questions about both mobile assets and the users of those assets
regardless of whether those assets are connecting using wired or wireless, and hence directly improve their
organization’s profitability. Network Location Services also improve security and accelerate client troubleshooting
by locating an asset, user, or device on the network.

Network visibility and control provide centralized visibility into wired and wireless devices on the network
and their location.
Ɣ
Location-assisted client troubleshooting enables tracking of wired or wireless clients for quick problem
resolution.

Asset tracking and improved security provide centralized inventory of wired and wireless devices and
asset management for improved business processes.

Location based policy allows greater control and visibility. With EnergyWise, power policies can be set up
(to reduce the power or shut down the power from a port) based on the location.

Cisco Emergency Responder (CER) enhances emergency calling from Cisco Unified CallManager. It
helps assure that Cisco Unified CallManager sends emergency calls to the appropriate Public Safety
Answering Point (PSAP) for the caller’s location.
