AirMagnet Survey/Planner
Today's wireless service providers, managed-service providers, and network
infrastructure vendors all consider site surveys a mandatory and vital
part of the wireless LAN deployment process. AirMagnet has addressed these
requirements with the industry's most accurate WLAN planning solution.
AirMagnet Survey stands apart from other market solutions by enabling
enterprises to collect live signal, packet and spectrum data during their
site surveys. This allows enterprises to simulate and measure network
performance in the most scientific way possible—with the most accurate
depiction of a real-world user experience-which ultimately results in
a better performing network.
AirMagnet Planner
AirMagnet Planner makes it easy to build a detailed model of any WiFi
environment. Simply load in a map of your location, and use the built-in
library of walls, doors and windows or specify your own custom materials
to precisely match the building's characteristics. Your map now becomes
a platform to simulate performance based on the correct number, placement
and configuration of APs. Tweak any number of these settings until you
achieve full coverage for end-users while minimizing signal bleed into
unsecured areas. Generate a full report of your wireless environment,
including a bill of materials for your infrastructure purchase. For a
full description of advanced features, read the AirMagnet Planner datasheet.
Perform Active and Passive Surveys
During a passive survey, AirMagnet Survey automatically records RF data
from all APs and devices in the area. This produces an excellent overview
of the entire wireless environment including sources of noise and any
wireless signals from neighboring networks. During an active survey, AirMagnet
Survey associates itself to a specific AP and exchanges data to emulate
an end-user. This enables you to map out exactly how real-world clients
will perform at various locations in terms of connection speed, retry
rates and packet loss.
At the end of each survey, you will name and save your survey data for
later analysis.
View Combined Survey Results
When it's time to analyze results, AirMagnet Survey can automatically
merge any number of your active and passive surveys to provide the most
accurate, data-rich analysis possible. A dynamic map view gives you instant
insight to the potential performance of your network. In one click, you
can change the map view to display signal, noise, frame speeds, retry
rates, or packet loss. Two filtering modes enable you to view and analyze
site data by channel or SSID. You can also filter by individual AP selections
to focus your view.
Perform Accurate Network Simulations
The live data collected from your active and passive surveys enables you
to simulate and measure network performance in the most scientific way
possible—with the most accurate depiction of a real-world user experience.
You can relocate APs on the map and adjust AP configurations—such
as Power, Channel, SSID, and Noise Floor—to simulate changes in
the network, which appear on your refreshed map. Drill-down on specific
APs to analyze performance statistics, then tweak and adjust your simulations
until you achieve optimal settings.
Perform Active Network Test
Use AirMagnet Survey's suite of utilities to actively test the network
and pinpoint problems, including a signal test tool to identify potential
multipath interference, ping, DHCP tools, and a library of wireless calculators.
Access the AirWISE® Expert with Survey Pro
AirWISE® is your encyclopedia source for expert survey advice. AirWise
displays all areas that fail to meet the design requirements of your network,
and provides recommendations and procedures for problem resolution. Whether
you're designing your network for voice or planning for end-user capacity,
AirWise can guide you to the answer.
Professional Reporting with Survey Pro
Survey Pro includes a completely integrated reporting module that instantly
creates custom outputs of your site surveys and simulations. Reports include
coverage and interference assessments of every channel, SSID, and AP.
Reports can be generated in over 15 formats including PDF, XML, HTML,
and Microsoft Excel.
Perform Detailed Spectrum Analysis with Survey Pro
Survey Pro integrates with AirMagnet's Spectrum Analyzer, enabling both
Wi-Fi and spectrum analysis data to be collected in a single walkthrough.
Survey Pro automatically identifies and displays the presence of non-802.11
devices that are interfering with the WLAN at the survey locations. Your
user-interface shows a location-specific FFT spectrum plot for every data
point, giving you the most complete view of your wireless environment
possible.
Perform Outdoor Surveys with Survey Pro
With the combination of GPS support, 4.9 GHz support and integration with
Google Earth and Microsoft MapPoint, AirMagnet Survey PRO provides a clear
path to fast, fully automated outdoor surveys. Users can leverage their
NMEA compliant GPS device to automatically collect outdoor wireless data.
The results can then be analyzed in the AirMagnet user interface or exported
into Google Earth.
