Unlike other Wi-Fi (WLAN) planning and administration tools, the latest
version of ESS takes the capacity of the Wi-Fi network fully into
consideration. ESS accurately analyzes the network capacity based on the
number of Wi-Fi devices, and the applications run on them. This is essential
for today's networks where a growing number of Wi-Fi-enabled smartphones,
laptops and tablet devices require ever-increasing network capacity.
When designing a Wi-Fi network for data, voice, or RTLS, to support a
large number of wireless devices, ESS will suggest a more dense access point
placement. When analyzing a network, ESS now will display areas of sufficient
or insufficient capacity. ESS also provides in-depth troubleshooting
analysis, showing the number of associated clients per access point and
displaying areas where too many voice calls will be placed simultaneously via
a single access point.
"In the era of smartphones and tablets, the question for Wi-Fi network
administrators is not just about coverage anymore, it's about capacity," said
Jussi Kiviniemi, director of Product Marketing at Ekahau. "With our latest
version of ESS, network administrators can be sure that their Wi-Fi network
is capable of handling current and future capacity demands. This addition
expands the growing list of ESS' unique features, which already include
real-time location system (RTLS) integration, hybrid site surveys and an
Android network analysis application."
The new Ekahau DBx Pro Spectrum Analyzer allows the user to detect,
identify and locate interference issues in Wi-Fi networks with ease. DBx Pro,
which replaces the previous DBx Spectrum Analyzer, offers significant
improvements, such as interference classification, a device finder and a
redesigned user interface.
Ekahau Site Survey 5.5 and Ekahau DBx Pro Spectrum Analyzer are available
now from via the Ekahau website (http://www.ekahau.com/) and through Ekahau's
certified distribution partners.
