Optimize AP count and layout for maximized coverage and performance by modeling building construction materials/obstructions and AP placement.
Reduce time spent planning by quickly importing walls from CAD floor plans.
Estimate Wi-Fi deployment budgets; generate installer-ready BOM reports.
Plan migration strategies as new users or technologies are introduced.
Haphazard planning of a wireless deployment can lead to overspending, as well as underserved and less-than-thrilled end-users. AirMagnet Planner is a Wi-Fi network planning tool that saves time, money, and frustration by accounting for building materials, obstructions, access point configurations, antenna patterns and a host of other variables to provide a predictive map of Wi-Fi signal and performance, before the network or physical building is constructed.
AirMagnet Planner allows you to design a new Wi-Fi network. It also allows you to compare plans side-by-side, validate requirements, or generate custom reports.
Selecting the Advisor tool allows you to provide information on building materials, attenuation areas, and Access Points.
Benefits: Uses information about the physical environment to accurately calculate how many APs you need and where to place them.
The Planner Advisor will automatically calculate how many APs you need and where to place them.
Benefits: Removes all guess work from the Wi-Fi network planning process! Quickly determines how many APs will be needed and where to place them based on the physical environment and your requirements.
Clicking on the Refresh button allows you to provide information on building materials, attenuation areas, and APs for an entire building.
Benefits: Provides visibility on how the Wi-Fi network signal can propagate through an entire building.
Provides visibility on how the signal of specific APs propagates throughout the building.
Benefits: Simplifies the process of validating coverage or troubleshooting co-channel interference problems throughout the entire building before installing the APs.
Provides the option of selecting which heatmap you want to visualize.
Benefits: Gain full visibility of your planned Wi-Fi network by reviewing heatmaps for Signal Coverage, Interference, Data Rates, Throughput, and more.
Highlights areas of the floor plan on which APs will be interfering with each other. Includes both co-channel and adjacent channel interference.
Benefits: Prevent channel interference problems from occuring on your new Wi-Fi network by accurately planning AP channel assignments.
Allows you to compare two plans side-by-side and highlights the differences between them.
Benefits: Simplifies the process of comparing an old design against your new plan. No need to spend time manually comparing heatmaps.
Compares any heatmaps that have been generated and automatically shows the differences.
Benefits: Save time when validating if your new Wi-Fi network will improve upon an old design.
Generates reports. Provides the option to use an existing template or custom reports.
Benefits: Quickly generate reports as required while having the option to easily create custom reports. Simplifies the process of generating Bill of Material Reports and Planner Reports.
Users can create and export planner projects directly to Cisco Prime. This saves time and resources needed for setting up maps, AP placement locations and other WLAN deployment modeling activities by eliminating the need to repeat these tasks within Cisco Prime. This integration dramatically increases operational efficiencies for both AirMagnet and Cisco Prime users by eliminating the need to repeat wireless planning and site survey tasks commonly associated with deployment and ongoing management of a WLAN network.
With AirMagnet Planner, users can design new 802.11 networks, as well as plan their migration strategies for existing legacy networks, including one-to-one replacements or the phased introduction of devices into their legacy network. Users can plan their deployments for user capacity or performance without any physical AP rollout. AirMagnet Planner provides unique coverage maps for WLAN throughput and other technology specific heat maps such as signal coverage, Operating Modes, MCS Transmit Rate, Channel Width and Channel Overlap, to predict the WLAN performance at every location on the floor and offer the best design that minimizes any rework once the network is deployed. Since AirMagnet Planner is part of a single, seamless application with AirMagnet Survey PRO, users can validate “modeled” 802.11 results against “real-world active” post-deployment surveys.
As users plan and design wireless access in multi-floor buildings, it makes economic sense to reuse services of APs to lower equipment deployment costs. With AirMagnet Planner’s multi-floor planning capability, users can visualize coverage and performance heat maps in 2D and 3D across floors, providing powerful insight into bleed over to adjacent floors.
Users are empowered with visualizations of signal strength, data rates, Operating Mode, MCS Transmit Rate, Channel Width, and Channel Overlap between floors and more.
