AirMapper™ Site Survey
Wireless Network Mapping App
AirMapper™ Site Survey
Wireless Network Mapping App
- Ideal for quick site surveys of new deployments, change validation, and performance verification.
- Provides accurate and complete heat maps by measuring performance from the perspective of other mobile devices.
- Can perform WiFi (active and passive) and Bluetooth surveys on a single walkthrough.
- Uses WiFi and Bluetooth site data collected with an AirCheck™ G3, EtherScope® nXG, CyberScope® or CyberScope® Air.
Key Features
- Native WiFi 6 and 6 GHz band active and passive survey support*.
- Complete faster and easier WiFi site surveys with handy mobile platforms that also feature in-depth analysis tools.
- Enterprise-grade surveys without the need for a dongle or tethered device.
- Conducts Bluetooth/BLE surveys to visualize coverage of individual beacons and quickly spot provisioning errors*.
- View professional SNR, noise, and interference measurements.
- Validate new installations or locate rogue devices by automatically triangulating the position of access points on a floor plan**.
- Automatically identify common WiFi network problems using the InSites™ intelligence**.
- Examine real-world coverage and gain insight into user experience to avoid performance complaints and costly WiFi network re-design.
- Collaborate—Visualize and freely share survey data with others through Link-Live™ or AirMagnet® Survey PRO.
* WiFi 6, 6 GHz, and Bluetooth/BLE support only available on the AirCheck G3, EtherScope nXG, CyberScope or CyberScope Air.
** Requires the use of the Link-Live collaboration, reporting, and analysis platform or AirMagnet Survey PRO.
Capabilities
AirMapper supports both passive and active WiFi 6/6E surveys with the AirCheck G3, EtherScope nXG, CyberScope or CyberScope Air.
Active Surveys
Different from passive surveys, active surveys allow you to perform a site survey while being actively connected to a WiFi network. Active surveys are commonly used to validate WiFi network performance and roaming.
Simultaneous passive and active Surveys
With its dual radios, NetAlly tools can enable simultaneous passive and active surveys to gather critical site metrics and validate end-user device experience and roaming on a single walkthrough.
Allows AirCheck G3, EtherScope nXG, CyberScope or CyberScope Air users to perform a passive Bluetooth or BLE site survey using the AirMapper app and internal radio, thus providing full visibility into Bluetooth network coverage and performance through Link-Live.
Simultaneous WiFi and Bluetooth Surveys
It allows users to perform both WiFi (active and passive) and Bluetooth surveys on the same walkthrough, making it quick and easy to validate WiFi network performance while at the same time validating indoor location services or IoT deployments, as well as possible 2.4 GHz WiFi interference caused by BT co-existence in the same band.
3 Main Beacon Types
The AirMapper Site Survey app collects data from the three main beacon types: Eddystone UID, Eddystone URL, and iBeacon. Measured RSSI data from all observed beacons is displayed on a visual heatmap in Link-Live. An accompanying data table contains all location-specific details such as beacon type, RSSI, Tx power, class name, services, beacon ID numbers, and more. This data can be easily and quickly filtered, sorted, and included in reports similar to those used for WiFi surveys.
The AirMapper Ecosystem supports the creation and calibration of floorplans in Link-Live. Once created, the floorplan(s) can be automatically sent to any of the AirMapper collectors (AirCheck G3, EtherScope nXG, CyberScope or CyberScope air units) in the user’s organization.
Ensure Complete Record Keeping
You can document network issues and changes while conducting a site survey. AirMapper allows you to add comments anywhere on the floor plan to record observations or notes, which will be uploaded to Link-Live or AirMagnet Survey PRO along with the survey measurements.
Access Point Location on Floor Plan
You can document new WiFi installations, infrastructure changes, and rogue device location while performing a site survey. Using the AirMapper app users can document access point location on a floor plan through Link-Live or AirMagnet Survey PRO.
Link-Live and AirMagnet Survey PRO feature a complete set of pre-configured visualizations to help you ensure coverage, connectivity, and performance. Adjusting threshold values indicates areas where measured metrics fail to meet network requirements. The “auto-scale” feature provides more granularity and instant visibility in variations of key WiFi metrics (only available on Link-Live).
NOTE: Enhanced AirMapper site survey visualizations (Noise, SNR, Co-Channel Interference, Adjacent Channel Interference, AP Coverage, Max Tx/Rx Rates, Max Tx/Rx MCS, plus others) and filtering require AllyCare Premium support on their AirCheck G3, EtherScope nXG, CyberScope or CyberScope Air.

There is no need to be an expert to analyze WiFi heatmaps and identify wireless network problems anymore. The AirMapper Site Survey app makes it easy for anyone to quickly identify WiFi network problems using the InSites intelligence on Link-Live (or AirWISE intelligence on AirMagnet Survey PRO).
InSites simplifies the process of WiFi network troubleshooting by automatically comparing the AirMapper Site Survey data collected on-site to a set of pre-defined thresholds, providing a visual Pass or Fail indication on the heatmap.
