Have you ever used Wi-Fi Aware technology, which enables proximity sensing, file exchange and even messaging functions directly between P2P devices without the need for traditional network infrastructure? Now through the latest application provided by Google, you will be able to learn a little about this function and learn or develop it, and it can even be used as a simple distance measurement tool between mobile phones. Continue reading Google launches WifiNanScan App that uses Wi-Fi Aware “ranging” and P2P file transfer.
Google launches WifiNanScan App that uses Wi-Fi Aware “ranging” and P2P file transfer
Google recently launched a somewhat bizarre app called WifiNanScan App. It basically uses Wi-Fi Aware (also known as Neighborhood Aware Networking (NAN)) technology to carry out related applications and development.
If you are interested, you can take a look Instructions for Wi-Fi Aware, basically it is designed to quickly connect and sense with nearby devices. Google uses this feature to provide services within the app including messaging, file transfer, and even sensing the “distance” between devices through P2P signals.

According to the official description, the uses of WifiNanScan App include learning and development. Interestingly, this mobile phone-to-mobile device Wi-Fi connection application can measure the distance between devices (up to 15 meters) with an accuracy of about 1 meter – the estimated distance, actual distance, and connection data can be seen in the application.
Because it is a connection method similar to a local network,WifiNanScan App In addition to various data required for development, it also provides the use of P2P interconnection file transfer and messaging, and can monitor the status of messaging with charts and even log records. In fact, similar applications on Google include WifiRttScan App Can be used when connecting to WiFi-RTT devices for Wi-Fi 802.11mc indoor positioning. actually dig Developed with Google With this account, you will find that in addition to ARCore, there are also some apps with wonderful uses. It is recommended that you dig up treasures to see what Google is busy developing recently. Maybe there will be gadgets that you can use.
