A Location is an optional account structure component that can be assigned to devices and network profiles. Commonly a Location is used when devices are located in different time zones or in a large scale deployment that has multiple physical Locations and specific staff is responsible for each unique Location.
It's recommended to consult with your Primex representative to ensure that the use of Locations is best for your deployment.
