Document Name: WAPS BEACON Installation Manual Version No: 1.4 Company Name: NextNav, LLC. 1 1.1 Introduction Purpose and Scope This document describes the commissioning and normal usage procedure for the WAPS beacon. This version of the hardware interface through a TCP socket server is derived from an existing version of the socket server interface that is being used for the Tiger beacon and hence there may be some references to the Tiger beacon. 2 2.
