Wireless Site Survey / Testing
WiFi Site Survey Analysis
AirMagnet® Survey PRO software simplifies WiFi design and site survey analysis. It helps network professionals predictively model changes to WiFi networks, or design new networks for optimal coverage and performance.
Generates heatmaps that provide full visibility of WLAN coverage, noise, SNR, interference, throughput, data rates, retries, loss, Voice-over-Wi-Fi MOS, and more on the 2.4GHz, 5GHz or 6GHz bands.
Streamlines outdoor wireless surveys by automatically collecting data using a NMEA-compliant GPS device.
Allows us to set wireless network design or application requirements, such as signal coverage, throughput, PHY data rates, 802.11 specific parameters, and more, to automatically identify any problem areas.
Key Features
Model WiFi network changes or design a new network without setting up APs.
Measure how well the WiFi network works in real life.
Create heatmaps that show full WLAN coverage, noise, SNR, interference, throughput, data rates, retries, loss, and more on the 2.4/5/6 GHz bands.
Save time by performing both active and passive surveys in a single walk-through or use up to two WiFi radios to scan multiple channels or bands at the same time.
Use customizable templates to create professional reports in different formats.
WiFi Design and Site Survey Analysis Software
AirMagnet Survey PRO allows us to predictively model WiFi network changes or design a new network for optimal coverage, connectivity, and performance. It also allows you to simulate changes to an existing network, compare a design versus a survey side-by-side, automatically validate requirements, or generate custom reports.
Survey
We have the option to perform Active, Passive, iPerf, or VoFi surveys on the 2.4/5/6 GHz bands. Can be used for Pre-Site, Post-Site, or AP-on-a-Stick (APoS) surveys.
Benefits: Quickly and easily validate network performance and connectivity. Identify problems with interference, roaming, throughput, retries, and lots more.
Multiple Surveys on a Single Walkthrough
Allows for Active and Passive surveys to be performed on the same walkthrough, thus providing visibility on network performance and WiFi interference sources.
Benefits: Gain full visibility of the RF environment and save time by performing multiple site surveys in parallel, or by scanning multiple bands at the same time.
Display
Provides the option to visualize AirMapper data collected with an AirCheck G3 or EtherScope nXG (or a WiFi adapter), plus allows us to select which heatmap you want to analyze.
Benefits: Gain full visibility of the WiFi network by reviewing heatmaps for Signal Coverage, Interference, Data Rates, Retry Rates, and more.
MultiView
Perform a survey using AirMapper on an AirCheck G3 or EtherScope nXG (or a WiFi adapter) on multiple floors and see how the signal of an AP on one floor can propagate to others.
Benefits: Quickly and easily gain visibility on how the WiFi network signal is propagating throughout your entire building.
Select an Access Point
Select a single AP to see how its signal propagates throughout the building.
Benefits: Allows us to quickly identify problems with co-channel or adjacent channel interference caused by access points on other floors.
DiffView
Allows us to compare a design versus a survey side-by-side and highlights the differences between them.
Benefits: Simplify the process of comparing a predictive design against a survey, or a Pre-Survey to a Post-Survey. No need to spend time manually comparing heatmaps.
AirWISE
Automatically validates network compliance using customizable thresholds.
Benefits: Quickly and easily validate that your WiFi network complies with your requirements. No need to spend hours analyzing heatmaps.
Identify Problem Areas
Automatically compares your survey or plan to your requirements and highlights areas of the floor plan that don’t comply.
Benefits: Simplifies the process of identifying problem areas, saving you the time it takes to manually analyze each heatmap. It also provides recommended courses of action, thus improving time to resolution.
Reports
Generates different types of reports. Provides the option to use existing templates or custom reports.
Benefits: Quickly generate reports as required while having the option to easily create custom reports. Simplify the process of generating Bill of Material Reports, Planner Reports, Active Survey reports, Passive Survey reports, and more.
WiFi Site Survey Analysis
Get the most out of your WiFi network with AirMagnet Survey PRO. This powerful solution allows us to accurately measure and assess true end-user experience. Using Survey PRO we can optimize your network for maximum performance.
Take Your WiFi Network to the Next Level
AirMagnet Survey PRO goes beyond just checking RF coverage. It provides a detailed analysis of network performance, considering factors like throughput, PHY data rates, and environmental conditions. We can easily identify and address issues that may impact network speeds, such as interference and legacy devices.
With a comprehensive “heat map” of critical RF and end-user performance metrics on the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands, we can accurately predict and model network improvements. By avoiding end-user network complaints, you can save valuable time and money.
"Real-world" Survey Data and "What-If" Scenarios
With the Survey PRO, we can gather location-based WiFi measurements and create visual heat maps of key performance metrics in AirMagnet Survey PRO. It’s quick, easy, and perfect for site surveys of new deployments, change validation, and performance verification.
Experience faster and simpler WiFi site surveys on a fully mobile platform.
Collaborate effortlessly by visualizing and sharing survey data through AirMagnet Survey Pro.
Simultaneous wireless site surveying capability offers a solution to emulate real-world client behavior, significantly reducing surveying time, effort, and costs.
Exploring “What-If” Scenarios
With AirMagnet Survey PRO, we can explore “what-if” scenarios to simulate a variety of changes to your WiFi network. From adjusting AP settings to previewing the impacts of environmental noise, you have complete control. We can even test the effect of adding additional APs by moving them to new locations.
Take your WiFi surveying to the next level and get accurate insights faster than ever before.
Outdoor WiFi Site Surveys
Survey PRO has the power of GPS integration and Google Earth compatibility. Our software streamlines outdoor wireless surveys by automatically collecting data using an NMEA-compliant GPS device. Analyze results in our user-friendly interface or export into Google Earth for a detailed street view.
WLAN Modeling
AirMagnet Survey PRO makes it easy to build a detailed model of any wireless environment – even before the network is deployed or the building is constructed. Simply load in a map of the location and use the built-in library of walls, doors and windows to precisely match the building’s characteristics.
AirMagnet Survey PRO allows users to add APs to any location and experiment to find the ideal placement for the environment based on their requirements. AirMagnet Survey PRO also provides independent settings for 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz radios. Users can set the AP channel, IP address, transmit power, antenna type, orientation, height, and 802.11 specifications. When the planning session is complete, users can generate a professional report with all the information that is needed to properly install the network. Along with RF coverage information, users can access performance metrics such as data rates and throughput.
