AN AIRMAGNET MOBILITY SOLUTION

AirMagnet Planner makes it easy or network 

proessionals to accurately plan and deploy 802.11-based

wireless networks in any indoor environment. The AirMagnet

Planner accounts or building materials, obstructions, access

point confgurations, antenna patterns, and a host o other

variables to provide a reliable predictive map o Wi-Fi signal

and perormance. It ensures ull coverage or end-users while

minimizing signal bleed into unsecured areas. AirMagnet

Planner can be purchased as a separate product or as a ully

integrated eature o AirMagnet Survey or Survey PRO.

Wi-Fi Tailored to your environmentAirMagnet Planner makes it easy to build a detailed model of anywireless environment, even before the network is deployed.Simply load in a map of the location, and use the built-in library ofwalls, doors and windows to precisely match the building'scharacteristics. The environment can be further customized toaccount for cubicles, offices, elevators and a variety ofwarehouse obstructions. All environmental settings are fullycustomizable and custom materials can be created from scratchto meet your specifications.

Custom Antenna DesignAirMagnet Planner includes over 130 of the most popularantennas on the market for customizing your APs. However, thesolution also includes a built-in tool to create customized antennapatterns, allowing users to replicate the characteristics of literallyany antenna on the market.

Build your Network AirMagnet Planner provides full control of the proposed wirelessinfrastructure. Users can add APs to any location and experimentto find the ideal AP placement for the environment. Planner alsoprovides full control over all AP settings with independent settingsfor 11a and 11b/g radios. Users can set the AP channel, IPaddress, transmit power, antenna type, orientation and height.When the planning session is complete, users can generate aprofessional report with all the information needed to properlyinstall the network, complete with a list of required APs, their idealplacement and configuration settings. Users can also use Plannerto predict network speed information.

Great Networks start with great designAn accurate network plan can be the most critical step of asuccessful wireless deployment. An unscientific plan can lead tovastly over-spending on network infrastructure or alternatively tounderserved and unhappy end-users. AirMagnet Plannerremoves the need for guess-work and lets installers determinethe correct quantity, placement and configuration of APs requiredto deliver full coverage for end-users while minimizing signalbleed into unsecured areas. Users can preview the network bychannel or SSID ensuring the network conforms to anyspecification.

Minimize InterferenceA true Wi-Fi plan requires an intelligent channel plan to ensurethat APs in the same area don't overlap or interfere with oneanother. AirMagnet Planner includes an Overlap feature to showwhere APs on the same channel overlap above a user-definedthreshold. Users can also investigate any AP in detail to plot thetotal combined interference to a particular access point from allothers.

Automated WLAN ModelingAirMagnet Planner also includes the “advisor feature” toautomatically place APs on site floor plans. Users can specify theminimum signal coverage expected, the transmit power, mediatype of the AP, etc. and mark Wi-Fi coverage areas and areaswhere APs cannot be placed.

Integration with AirMagnet SurveyAirMagnet Planner easily integrates with AirMagnet Survey andSurvey PRO, providing a single, seamless application with theindustry's most complete approach to wireless LAN design,deployment and ongoing optimization. With this integratedsolution, users can use Planner to accurately design theirWLANs and plan for speed; then validate the results withreal-world data in Survey using active end-user performancemetrics, such as actual connection speed and performancemetrics, allowing users to further perfect their planning modelsover time. No other solution combines state-of-the-art predictivemodeling with real-world performance data.

Survey PRO users also gain additional planning capabilities withthe ability to test network plans against the AirWISE engine fordesign requirements and Diff View which lets users directlycompare predicted and actual survey results.
