New AirMagnet Survey Features Optimize VoWLAN

AirMagnet Inc. has announced new features for AirMagnet Survey that enhance its ability to help customers optimize their voice-over-WLAN (VoWLAN) deployments for Cisco and Vocera equipment.

These new features allow customers to identify problems earlier in the process of deploying VoWLAN – the survey phase — thereby minimizing the issues that might only be found after the equipment has been rolled out to end users, the company explained.

AirMagnet Survey PRO’s wireless network design and deployment verification system provide a one-click option for the user, to verify if the network is deployed based on the vendor’s requirements for any Wi-Fi-based phone. Areas of measurement include verification for number of access points, signal/interference levels, user capacity and data rates. This verification system now includes pre configured VoWLAN policies for the Cisco 7920 and 7921 phones that have been tailored to Cisco’s recommended deployment guidelines.

For Vocera customers, AirMagnet Survey’s speed-mapping table has been enhanced to allow users to predict and view expected downlink data rate information from the perspective of Vocera B2000 badges while performing a passive survey.

The new version of AirMagnet Survey PRO is available now for $3,695. The new features are available now and are free to existing AirMagnet Survey customers who have a current support agreement.
