The Fine Time Measurement (FTM) Checklist: Going from Config to Verification | PRG 26

If you can't easily validate a protocol, you can't reliably support it. While Wi-Fi location standards like 802.11mc and the emerging 802.11az promise precision, sub-meter indoor tracking, auditing a network to ensure APs are properly working remains a notorious blind spot for field engineers.

This presentation delivers a practical blueprint for staging, deploying, and verifying time-of-flight architectures. The goal is to show how to leverage standard wireless tools to decode over-the-air capability flags, analyze the frame exchange, and confidently audit a location-ready deployment.
