Overview
AirMagnet Planner takes the guess-work out of WLAN design and
installation, making it easy for network professionals to
accurately plan and deploy 802.11-based wireless networks in any
indoor environment. The AirMagnet Planner accounts for building
materials, obstructions, access point configurations, antenna
patterns, and a host of other variables to provide a reliable
predictive map of Wi-Fi signal and performance. It ensures full
coverage for end-users while minimizing signal bleed into unsecured
areas.
AirMagnet Planner can be purchased as a separate product or as a
fully integrated feature of AirMagnet Survey Express or Survey
PRO.
Design your Network
AirMagnet Planner provides full control of the proposed wireless
network. Users can add APs to any location and enjoy full control
over all AP settings including channel, IP address, transmit power,
antenna type and characteristics. You can generate a professional
report with all the information needed to properly install the
network, complete with a list of required APs, their ideal
placement and configuration settings. You can also use Planner to
predict network speed information.
Automated WLAN Modeling
Use the "Planner Advisor" to automatically place APs on site
floor plans. After you specify the expected signal coverage and
mark areas where you require Wi-Fi coverage; the software
automatically calculates the most optimized location for your AP on
the floor map.
Create Customized Antennas
AirMagnet Planner includes over 180 of the most popular
antennas, including ones from Cisco Systems, Aruba Networks, Meru
Networks, HP, Symbol, 3Com, Bluesocket, etc., for customizing your
APs. The solution also includes a built-in tool to create
customized antenna patterns, allowing users to replicate the
characteristics of literally any antenna on the market.
