RollOut: Ekahau's Site Survey 2.2: Page 4 of 4

Ekahau's suite has proven its real-world worth in several new buildings at Syracuse University that now have top-notch WLANs (first built on paper with Site Survey). As a network engineer at the university, I have used Site Survey to design effective WLANs in buildings yet to be constructed, with post-build verification proving the tool's ability to translate model to real WLAN.

Because nothing stays the same, any and all views are stored in highly detailed, effective reports that can be referenced later, or posted to a Web server. Unfortunately, reports are available only in HTML. AirMagnet Surveyor, by contrast, offers several file formats.

Good WLAN managers know that wireless shouldn't be a guessing game, and Site Survey 2.2 provides a multitude of answers for wireless site surveys and support. n
