How does Mist determine the location of clients in an indoor setting?

Answer options

• A. probability surface
• B. triangulation
• C. trilateration
• D. GPS

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Mist utilizes a probability surface to estimate the location of clients indoors by analyzing data from multiple access points. Triangulation and trilateration are methods that rely on distance measurements from fixed points, which are not the primary techniques used by Mist. GPS is generally not effective for indoor positioning due to signal limitations.
