AirMagnet Survey

AirMagnet Survey is the industry's most accurate WLAN design and deployment solution to ensure optimal performance, security and compliance. To obtain the most accurate depiction of a user's experience in the real world, organizations use AirMagnet Survey to collect "live and real-world" signal, performance and spectrum data during wireless site surveys, allowing the IT staff to measure network performance and RF coverage in the most scientific way possible to design the WLAN network for an optimal AP count, placement and configuration.

Key applications of the product include pre-network WLAN modeling, WLAN network pre-installation "active site surveys", post-installation "active site surveys" for performance verification of an existing network and "on-going network optimization" as new users, applications or technologies get introduced into the RF environment.

AirMagnet Survey PRO

Referred to as the "must have" tool for WiFi planning, deployment and verification, AirMagnet Survey PRO is unrivaled. AirMagnet Survey PRO includes powerful, industry-defining features including 802.11n deployments, multi-floor deployments, outdoor surveys, network design verification, voice surveys, RF spectrum analysis, and many more. AirMagnet Survey PRO now also includes AirMagnet Planner which is used to help design WLANs.

AirMagnet Survey Express

The Express version allows the user to perform the basics of WiFi site surveying with ability to map out signal, noise and user performance.

• Complete 802.11a/b/g/n and 4.9 GHz site surveying capability for optimized designing of indoor and outdoor networks• Industry's only active and Iperf surveying capability for real-world true "uplink/downlink performance measurement."

• Determine ideal quantity, placement and configuration of APs for optimal security, performance and compliance.

• RF Spectrum surveys* and analysis to measure and locate potential interference sources.

• Unique 802.11n coverage maps for operating mode, channel width and network performance.

• Built-in AirWISE® expertise for user capacity planning and verification of WLAN design requirements to immediately identify any problem areas.

• Part of industry's only "real-world" 802.11n toolset (along with AirMagnet WiFi Analyzer) for complete 802.11n deployment, optimization, management and troubleshooting.

• Use AirWISE® to verify the WLAN network's readiness for a Voice over WLAN deployment.

• Perform real-world voice-grade site surveys

• Side-by-side visualization of differences between two separate surveys (critical for analyzing information from periodic site surveys).

• Integrated reporter to generate customized reports for network coverage and performance.

• Integration with AirMagnet Planner, a predictive tool that helps in planning new Wi-Fi deployments by taking building construction and AP settings into account.
