Quantify And Predict Throughput Performance Of Each 802.11 Channel
WiFiEagle represents a new and innovative series of PC-based, WiFi diagnostic tools used for installing, troubleshooting and monitoring 802.11 wireless networks. These tools are unique in their use of 802.11 devices for performing channel analysis. Employing patent-pending IMMI (
Indirect Measurement of Microwave Interference) technology,
WifiEagle analyzers provide unprecedented visibility into the performance of a wireless network. The information collected and displayed by
WiFiEagle helps to simplify troubleshooting of interference-related problems and predicts throughput performance for each 802.11 channel.
WifiEagle employs IMMI technology with 802.11 hardware to perform data acquisition -- hence, the results truly reflect how RF interference in the local environment affects throughput performance of 802.11 channels, which is not possible using an RF spectrum analyzer. IMMI technology and
WifiEagle are the only solution on the market today that allows both experts and non-experts to quantify and predict throughput performance of each 802.11 channel. By virtue of the fact an 802.11 channel analyzer views the RF world through the eyes of an 802.11 device, then the diagnostic information it provides more closely mirrors the performance you can expect from your own 802.11 client adapters. This makes it easier to troubleshoot and fix problems and allows you to make better-informed decisions regarding how best to configure your wireless network for optimal throughput performance. IMMI technology and
WifiEagle represent a true breakthrough in the area of WiFi diagnostics -- not only because they predict throughput performance but also from a cost standpoint.
In addition to channel analysis, integrated in the application software is a full-featured, WiFi Scanner -- also known as an 802.11 network discovery tool. An 802.11 network discovery tool gathers information about nearby access points and displays the data using a variety of charts. The network discovery functionality that is integrated into
WifiEagle is modeled after our popular
NetSurveyor application. By combining channel performance analysis and 802.11 network discovery into one tool then you have the best of both worlds. Each analyzer can be used to monitor wireless devices and RF interference that impact the performance, range and security of wireless networks. We have found the data they provide most useful during installation and troubleshooting of 802.11 wireless networks. When
WifiEagle is installed on a laptop computer it provides mobile, site survey information that facilitates optimal configuration of 802.11 wireless networks, proper location of RF devices, and aids in identifying potential sources of interference.
