How to use WiFi Design and Site Survey Analysis Software?
Test it yourself and see how easy it is to use AirMagnet® Survey PRO. Click on the orange dots to explore.
Home Screen
AirMagnet Survey PRO allows you to predictively model WiFi 6 network changes or design a new network for optimal coverage, connectivity, and performance. It also allows you to simulate changes to an existing network, compare a design versus a survey side-by-side, automatically validate requirements, or generate custom reports.
Planner Advisor
The Planner Advisor will automatically calculate how many AP’s you need and where to place them.
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.
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 network with AirMagnet Survey PRO. This wireless site survey tool helps you build detailed models of any wireless environment – even before the network is deployed or the building is constructed. Using AirMapper™ Site Survey on the AirCheck® G3, EtherScope® nXG, CyberScope® or CyberScope® Air, you can optimize your network for maximum performance.
Our automated AP placement feature streamlines network design:
- Load location maps and use the built-in library of walls, doors and windows to precisely match building characteristics
- Get automated suggestions for optimal access point placement
- Set independent configurations for all frequency bands including channel, IP address, transmit power, antenna type, orientation, and height
- Generate professional reports with installation specifications and RF coverage information
- Experiment with “what-if” scenarios by adjusting AP settings or testing additional AP locations
With the AirMapper site survey software on supported devices, streamline your survey process:
- Perform faster and simpler WiFi site surveys on a fully mobile platform – no dongle or tethered device required
- Save time with simultaneous active and passive surveys in a single walkthrough
- Create visual heat maps of key performance metrics
Experience the power of GPS integration and Google Earth compatibility with AirMagnet Survey PRO:
- Automatically collect data using your NMEA-compliant GPS device for outdoor surveys
- Analyze results in our interface or export into Google Earth for detailed street view
Note: GPS survey support requires the use of the AirMagnet Survey PRO software for data collection.
AirMagnet Survey PRO’s WiFi heatmap software goes beyond basic RF coverage checks with comprehensive network analysis:
- Generate detailed heat maps showing WLAN coverage, noise, SNR, and interference
- Analyze throughput, data rates, retries, and packet loss
- Make informed design decisions using our NXT portable spectrum analyzer to visualize RF energy
- Identify and address performance issues including interference
- Pinpoint non-802.11 devices causing interference in your WLAN
Note: Spectrum analysis requires the use of the NXT portable spectrum analyzer on the AirCheck™ G3, EtherScope® nXG, CyberScope® or CyberScope® Air.
