Which device-location technique is also known as lateration?
RSSI trilateration is a lateration method because it estimates a device’s distance from multiple access points using received signal strength and calculates the position from those distance estimates. The angle (angulation) technique is the strongest distractor, but it determines location from measured bearings or angles rather than distances. Cisco Meraki documentation likewise describes computing client location from reported RSSI values and using three or more access points for accurate Wi-Fi location.
