This paper proposes an applicable and scalable approach which allows deploying the fingerprint Wi-Fi localization algorithm for different mobile devices. The original performs accurately when device used in deployment phase is same as training phase. However, a phase, time-consuming re-training step (in order of hours or days) required to achieve equivalent degree accuracy. Our proposed replaces this by short period calibration few minutes), can be done transparently user. To validate our approach, we did analysis on collected data from large scale experiment (14 laptops 2 smartphones with 224-hour data) evaluated performance real
