AirMagnet Offers Breakthrough Approach to Measure, Visualize and Understand WLAN Client Experience
AirMagnet, now part of Fluke Networks, today released new versions of its leading AirMagnet Survey PRO 8.0 (including the AirMagnet Planner module) and AirMagnet WiFi Analyzer PRO 9.0. Both products now include the company’s new multi-adapter solution, which delivers dramatic enhancements to the wireless LAN (WLAN) designing and troubleshooting process by going beyond just collecting greater amounts of data, to integrating that data into features that help speed the performance and accuracy of site surveys, and deliver the industry’s most in-depth client roaming analysis to ensure wireless continuity.
“Our new multi-adapter solution, while not the only new update to these two products, is noteworthy because it provides a new way for users to measure and visualize the WLAN client experience. When integrated into AirMagnet Survey PRO (the Planner module) and AirMagnet WiFi Analyzer PRO, this has a profound impact on the time, effort, cost and effectiveness associated with designing, deploying and troubleshooting a WLAN,” said Chia-Chee Kuan, CTO and SVP of Engineering at AirMagnet. “We are the first to offer true multi-adapter capabilities that go beyond just the data capture and push to root-cause analysis leveraging our intelligence engine, AirWISE.”

REDUCE SURVEY TIME

The new release of AirMagnet Survey PRO (including the Planner module) allows an organization to perform simultaneous multiple surveys – to dramatically reduce time and cost associated with WLAN design and deployment – by leveraging the industry’s only true visualization of the “client experience” with active surveys, and also includes the new WLAN throughput coverage mapping capability. Furthermore, it offers customized report templates to meet project requirements – a critical business component for installers, integrators and services provides that need to deliver customized WLAN design recommendations.

“The new release of Survey is yet another reason why wireless consulting companies like mine continue to go back and invest in AirMagnet solutions. We’re required to provide timely RF analysis and design for our wireless customers, and AirMagnet allows us to provide accurate results to our customers in a readable format. The company listens to what its customers ask for and integrate those features and functionality into new builds,” said Tim Moorhead, Network Engineer at MSN Communications, Inc. “For example, the new version includes simultaneous survey capabilities – which no other provider offers right now. This new feature allows my team members to conduct two surveys at once and dramatically reduces the time, effort and cost associated with WLAN design and deployment. These types of updates make AirMagnet the market leader.”

ROAMING ANALYSIS

The new release of AirMagnet WiFi Analyzer PRO offers advanced WLAN roaming analysis that leverages the multi-adapter capability to allow users to monitor every client roaming event in the network and provide details on the success and failure of client device roams and the overall impact of roaming on the client experience and performance. This root-cause analysis of roaming issues helps mitigate reoccurrences of roaming associated problems in the future as users are provided with the precise reasons for the inefficient client roaming. Along with the roaming functionality, AirMagnet WiFi Analyzer PRO also offers a new wireless dashboard that focuses on top issues requiring immediate attention, helping to ensure maximum network security and performance, while still giving easy drill-down analysis on other issues that require deeper investigation.

AirMagnet WiFi Analyzer also addresses one of the most common IT staffer complaints with WLAN monitoring – “why isn’t there a single-click technique for testing connectivity and application performance?” Now there is, with a new one-touch connection audit with unique, on-the-spot verification for network connectivity and application performance.

In addition to these new capabilities, both products now include support for 64-bit OS on Windows 7 PCs with any of the supported 802.11a/b/g/n USB adapters.

Pricing and Availability
AirMagnet Survey PRO (including the Planner module) and AirMagnet WiFi Analyzer PRO are now available. Each product is available at a U.S. list price of $3,995. AirMagnet recommends the use of its multi-adapter kits to enable the new functionality. For more information, please visit www.airmagnet.com.
