WCS / Prime NCS Location tracking perimeter

WCS doesn't have the feature to locate wireless devices as well as set up a perimeter. For location tracking you need to use the Mobility Service Engine (MSE).

Prime Infrastructure is exactly the same the MSE is still required for location tracking:

The latest version of Prime Infrastructure, which is 1.3 (28/03/2013), still requires MSE for location services. Refer to the links below for the components of a Cisco Context-Aware Mobility Solution.

The Location Analytics Service analyzes wireless device location information in a particular network. The Location Analytics Service uses the data provided by the Cisco Mobility Services Engine (MSE) to calculate the location of Wi-Fi devices in the Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN).”

Q. Which WLC and Prime infrastructure versions do I need for Advanced Location Services?
A. You need 7.2 release or above on your WLAN controller and software version 1.3 or above for Prime infrastructure.
