Multi Floor Planner
Allows you to provide information on building materials, attenuation areas, and AP’s for an entire building. Select the Advisor tool.
Benefits: Uses information about the physical environment to accurately calculate how many Access Points you need and where to place them. Plus provides visibility on how the WiFi network signal can propagate through an entire building.
Multi Floor Planner Advisor
The Multi Floor Planner Advisor will automatically calculate how many AP’s you need and where to place them. It will also provide visibility on how the signal of specific AP’s propagates throughout the building.
Benefits: Remove all guess work from the WiFi network planning process! Quickly determines how many AP’s will be needed and where to place them based on the physical environment and your requirements.
Survey
Gives you the option to perform Active, Passive, iPerf, or VoFi surveys on the 2.4/5/6 GHz bands. Can be used for Pre-Site, Post-Site, or AP-on-a-Stick (APoS) surveys.
Benefits: Quickly and easily validate network performance and connectivity. Identify problems with inteference, roaming, throughput, retries, and lots more.
Multiple Surveys on a Single Walkthrough
Allows for Active and Passive surveys to be performed on the same walkthrough, thus providing visibility on network performance and WiFi interference sources.
Benefits: Gain full visibility of the RF environment and save time by performing multiple site surveys in parallel, or by scanning multiple bands at the same time.
Display
Provides the option to visualize AirMapper data collected with an AirCheck G3 or EtherScope nXG (or a WiFi adapter), plus allows you to select which heatmap you want to analyze.
Benefits: Gain full visibility of the WiFi network by reviewing heatmaps for Signal Coverage, Interference, Data Rates, Retry Rates, and more.
MultiView
Perform a survey using AirMapper on an AirCheck G3 or EtherScope nXG (or a WiFi adapter) on multiple floors and see how the signal of an AP on one floor can propagate to others.
Benefits: Quickly and easily gain visibility on how the WiFi network signal is propagating throughout your entire building.
Identify Problem Areas
Automatically compares your survey or plan to your requirements and highlights areas of the floor plan that don’t comply.
Benefits: Simplifies the process of identifying problem areas, saving you the time it takes to manually analyze each heatmap. It also provides recommended courses of action, thus improving time to resolution.
Reports
Generates different types of reports. Provides the option to use existing templates or custom reports.
Benefits: Quickly generate reports as required while having the option to easily create custom reports. Simplify the process of generating Bill of Material Reports, Planner Reports, Active Survey reports, Passive Survey reports, and more.

Get the most out of your WiFi 6E network with AirMagnet Survey PRO. This powerful solution allows you to accurately measure and assess true end-user experience. Using AirMapper™ Site Survey on the AirCheck™ G3, EtherScope™ nXG, CyberScope or CyberScope Air, you can optimize your network for maximum performance.
Take Your WiFi Network to the Next Level
AirMagnet Survey PRO goes beyond just checking RF coverage. It provides a detailed analysis of network performance, considering factors like throughput, PHY data rates, and environmental conditions. You can easily identify and address issues that may impact network speeds, such as interference and legacy devices.
With a comprehensive “heat map” of critical RF and end-user performance metrics on the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands, you can accurately predict and model network improvements. By avoiding end-user network complaints, you can save valuable time and money.
Note: Our solution also supports the use of WiFi 6E internal or USB-based adapters.
With the AirMapper app on the AirCheck G3, EtherScope nXG, CyberScope or CyberScope Air, you can gather location-based WiFi measurements and create visual heat maps of key performance metrics in AirMagnet Survey PRO. It’s quick, easy, and perfect for site surveys of new deployments, change validation, and performance verification.
- Experience faster and simpler WiFi site surveys on a fully mobile platform. No dongle or tethered device required.
- Collaborate effortlessly by visualizing and sharing survey data through AirMagnet Survey Pro or the Link-Live collaboration platform.
- AirMapper’s simultaneous wireless site surveying capability offers a solution to emulate real-world client behavior, significantly reducing surveying time, effort, and costs. Now, you only need to walk the floor once to collect all the necessary data.
Exploring “What-If” Scenarios
With AirMagnet Survey PRO, you can explore “what-if” scenarios to simulate a variety of changes to your WiFi network. From adjusting AP settings to previewing the impacts of environmental noise, you have complete control. You can even test the effect of adding additional APs by moving them to new locations.
Take your WiFi surveying to the next level and get accurate insights faster than ever before.
Experience the power of GPS integration and Google Earth compatibility with AirMagnet Survey PRO. Our software streamlines outdoor wireless surveys by automatically collecting data using your NMEA-compliant GPS device. Analyze results in our user-friendly interface or export into Google Earth for a detailed street view.
Make informed design and deployment decisions by accounting for RF interference. Whether you’re using AirCheck G3, EtherScope nXG, CyberScope or CyberScope Air, our NXT portable spectrum analyzer can help you collect valuable data for your survey. Visualize RF energy and pinpoint any non-802.11 devices causing interference in your WLAN.
Voice Over WiFi Surveys
AirMagnet Survey PRO is here to tackle the challenges faced by network installers and IT staff. With our built-in voice readiness verification system, you can ensure your network design aligns with the phone vendor’s recommendations for Voice over WiFi networks. Plus, conduct real-world surveys to validate phone call quality, capacity, and other voice-specific parameters at every location on your floor plan, to help identify and minimize issues.
AirMagnet Survey PRO 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 Survey PRO allows users to add APs to any location and experiment to find the ideal placement for the environment based on their requirements. AirMagnet Survey PRO also provides independent settings for 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 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 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.
