Ekahau Wi-Fi Capacity Tools - Planning Wi-Fi Networks for Tablets and Smartphones
Unlike certain other Wi-Fi network Planning and Design tools, the latest version 5.5 of Ekahau Site Survey (ESS) takes capacity planning for a Wi-Fi networks seriously. ESS accurately analyses network capacity based on the number of Wi-Fi devices and the applications that run on them. This is essential for today's networks where a growing number of Wi-Fi-enabled laptops, smartphones and tablet devices require increasing network capacity.
When designing a Wi-Fi network for data, voice or RTLS, to support greater numbers of wireless devices, ESS displays areas of sufficient and insufficient capacity.
ESS also provides troubleshooting analysis by showing, for example, the number of associated clients per access point and displaying areas where too many voice calls would be placed simultaneously - causing degradation in voice call quality.
Commenting on Ekahau Site Survey’s capabilities, Ian Lever, Technical Director of LEVER Technology Group PLC said:
"Wi-Fi network Planners and Designers must now design Wi-Fi networks to deliver Capacity -- not just RF coverage in terms of signal strength and SNR."
"This is a vital part of all new WiFi network deployments .. yet it is a process that most Wi-Fi network designers fail to perform adequately - or even at all."
"We see the consequences every week - with organisations deploying expensive Wi-Fi networks that, when tested by users, are simply not fit for purpose."
"The latest version of Ekahau Site Survey, combined with expert guidance from LEVER, enables Wi-Fi Planners and Designers to ensure that their Corporate networks are capable of handling the capacity demands of their users - and more."
"Where organisations will be deploying Voice over WiFi, Multimedia streaming for Tablet devices, Wireless Positioning, Real-Time Location Services, Barcode Scanning, RFID or any critical application over a wireless network, they really should seek advice from LEVER."
"It costs nothing to ask!"

Ekahau Site Survey and RF Visualisation
With proper WiFi Site Survey training, Surveying and Visualising a Wi-Fi network can be quick and accurate with Ekahau Site Survey. For example, performing a site survey for a 11,000 square ft (1,000 m2) office can take less than 10 minutes.
Ekahau Site Survey Professional delivers powerful Wi-Fi WLAN survey capabiluities, including:
Find ideal access point locations and channels for minimum interference. Locate areas with overlapping channel interference and simulate how network settings affect to performance.
Accurately pinpoint rogue access points and visualise the distance of RF leak coverage outside your building.
Desktop Site Survey
Using Ekahau Site Survey Professional's WiFi network Planner capabilies, you can perform "Desktop Site Survey" - simulating and modelling the performance of a WiFi network, and making WiFi coverage predictions using software simulation. Use Ekahau Planner to Design your wireless network on your computer screen, off-site, prior to installing any Wi-Fi infrastructure; you can also verify and improve your network design by performing a real physical on-site WiFi survey using Ekahau Site Survey to record RF measurementsand visulalise the actual Physical RF network performance.
The Ekahau Reporting facility allows you to generate visual and highly-customisable WiFi network coverage and performance reports for your entire network, including all visualised Wi-Fi characteristics such as WiFi Signal Strength, Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR), Data Rates, Access Point Count and much more.
Ekahau Site Survey enables you to audit and store access point locations on your site map, and generate visual outdoor coverage reports - especially easy when using GPS.
Outdoor Wireless Survey
Outdoor wireless site survey can be performed quickly and thanks to Ekahau Sute Survey GPS support.
Outdoor WiFi coverage survey using Ekahau Site Survey in Planning mode does require specialist knowledge and the use of undocumented techniques. Because we are far more than simply an on-line store or Ekahau reseller, LEVER can provide full assistance with both indoor and outdoor Wi-Fi surveys, whichever survey tool you need to use - Ekahau Site Survey, AirMagnet Survey, AirMagnet Planner, Motorola LANPlanner, Motorola EnterprisePlanner, Motorola SiteScanner Software, Aerohive Planner, RF3D Planner, VisiWave Site Survey, Cisco WCS (Wireless Control System) and just about any other Wi-Fi Planning, Design or Survey tool.
