AirMagnet's 802.11n Solution
 
 
 

Whether deploying a new 802.11n network, or integrating 802.11n technology into an existing infrastructure, AirMagnet solutions are critical for measuring the impact of 802.11n, modeling deployment scenarios, and optimizing ongoing security and performance management. The products let organizations achieve effective 802.11n network deployment by offering the only independent view of the access points, client and surrounding environment.

AirMagnet addresses two universal challenges facing 802.11n deployments

  • how to get true 11n performance versus theory
  • how to phase 11n gear into an established WLAN without doing a forklift upgrade or experience conflicts that rob the network of performance.

The AirMagnet 802.11n solution, including AirMagnet WiFi Analyzer and AirMagnet Survey, allow organizations to overcome 802.11n challenges by:

  • Educating the user on 802.11n technology
  • Modeling 802.11n deployments and their impact on the network
  • Ensuring 802.11n network security, performance and reliability by optimizing the network once deployed

New Survey Features
 
  • Coverage maps to plan and verify infrastructure configurations and performance
 
Operating mode coverage map visualizes where overlap from APs in different modes may cause problems
 
Channel width (20/40 MHz) coverage map shows areas where 40 MHz channel bonding is used
 
MCS transmit/receive coverage map displays true network performance
 
  • Iperf surveys actively measures uplink and downlink network performance
  • Set network design goals and visualize
 
If high MCS values are being used to maximize throughput in all locations
 
Areas on the floor where channel bonding (40 MHz) is used
