AirMagnet's WiFi Analyzer

AirMagnet's WiFi Analyzer
AirMagnet WiFi Analyzer (formerly Laptop Analzer) is the industry's "de-facto" tool for managing enterprise wi-fi networks. At the heart of the WiFi Analyzer is the AirWISE® engine, which automatically detects the root-cause of dozens of security and performance problems, explains alarms in plain English, and offers recommendations on how to solve or manage complex issues. The Analyzer provides instant visibility into all wireless channels, devices, conversations, speeds, interference issues and the RF spectrum, making it the ideal product for pre-deployment and post-deployment of wi-fi Networks. It helps address universal challenges that face new technologies or deployments and minimizes the IT Manager's struggle with the impact on new or existing networks. As always, AirMagnet delivers a solution that is user-friendly to IT professionals, network managers, security/compliance officers, and wireless LAN experts.

Anytime, Anywhere, WLAN Monitoring and Troubleshooting. AirMagnet's WiFi Analyzer is the industry's most popular mobile field tool for troubleshooting enterprise Wi-Fi networks. WiFi Analyzer helps IT staff make sense of end-user complaints to quickly resolve performance problems, while automatically detecting security threats and other network vulnerabilities. Although compact, WiFi Analyzer has many of the feature-rich qualities of a dedicated, policy-driven wireless LAN monitoring system.

Lockdown Security Policies

WiFi Analyzer enables you to set detailed security policies for all devices in your network. Designate your encryption and authentication methods then monitor your wireless LAN to check all devices for compliance with those policies. Also validate that the encryption methods themselves function correctly over the WLAN. Establish an even higher level of organized security by designating a list of approved APs for client access, and monitoring for exposed wireless stations, ad-hoc devices, and other vulnerabilities.

Perform Live, Interactive Network Tests

In addition to the issues that Analyzer automatically locates for you, a suite of active troubleshooting tools are available at your fingertips to help you quickly pinpoint network problems - 802.11n mis-configurations, RF interferences, traffic/infrastructure overloads, hardware failures, connectivity issues and more. Test connections with traditional tools such as DHCP, ping, and traceroute or use AirMagnet's Diagnostic Tool to view the step-by-step progress of a connection between a client and AP to pinpoint exactly where the process has broken down. Run AP performance tests to identify mismatched settings in the network, coverage, multi-path interference, jitter and roaming. The WLAN Throughput Simulator and the Device Throughput Calculator tools help users make that critical purchase decision on how they can phase 802.11n devices into their existing 802.11a/b/g network.
