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.
Accurately plan and design Wi-Fi 6 networks without rolling out any APs physically.
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.
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.
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 occurring on your new Wi-Fi network by accurately planning AP channel assignments.
AirMagnet Planner makes it easy to build a detailed model of any wireless environment – even before the network is deployed or the building is constructed. Simply load in a map of the location and use the built-in library of walls, doors and windows to precisely match the building’s characteristics.
AirMagnet Planner allows users to add AP’s to any location and experiment to find the ideal placement for the environment based on their requirements. AirMagnet Planner also provides independent settings for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radios. Users can set the AP channel, IP address, transmit power, antenna type, orientation, height, and 802.11 specifications. When the planning session is complete, users can generate a professional Bill of Materials report with all the information that is needed to properly install the network. Along with RF coverage information, users can access performance metrics such as data rates and throughput.
Users can reduce the amount of time spent preparing a floorplan for wireless deployment by quickly importing walls from CAD floorplans with only a few clicks of the mouse. Each CAD layer can be individually selected and given a unique attenuation type.
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.
