With more applications depending on real-time network synchronization, not to mention the expanding role of interlinked devices that constitute the Internet of Things (IoT), network performance optimization has never been more important. Yet network problems in the workplace are still worryingly common - connectivity failures, overcapacity issues, and security threats - they all take their toll, frustrating users and negatively affecting productivity.
However, it is possible to analyze your WiFi infrastructure, in order to correct configuration errors, expand capacity, and plan for the future. Ekahau software and devices are designed to facilitate wireless site surveys, which can be used to guide the best access point (AP) placement and configuration decisions, as well as capacity management. Let's look at some benefits of using Ekahau products for network performance optimization.
Ekahau software and devices are comprised of high-precision site survey and network planning tools. These provide network engineers with the tools they need to optimize site designs and implementation plans with accuracy. By using Ekahau AP on a Stick (APoS) prior to installation, AP locations can be determined with precision to offer the best network coverage and efficiency.
By using Ekahau's advanced hardware and software, network configuration doesn’t need to be a daunting task. Ekahau WiFi site surveys are simple to conduct and provide engineers with the data they need to understand radio frequency (RF) behavior across their target site. Decisions about AP numbers and placements can be made quickly and with confidence, allowing network configuration work to be carried out faster and more efficiently. Overall, Ekahau reduces the time and expense of WiFi network design, implementation, and optimization.
Failing WiFi is frustrating for any user, particularly for those with work to do. By using Ekahau software to achieve optimal network performance and coverage, engineers can secure the best available user experience. Employees will be able to work effectively, while networked meetings or presentations can be carried out without the worry of lost connectivity. Plus, guests or customers will have a better experience visiting your premises and will be more likely to return.
With data gathered from site surveys, Ekahau's software presents real-time visualizations of network coverage, performance, and security. Armed with these insights, engineers are able to identify and resolve problems or weaknesses quickly and effectively, often before more serious consequences have arisen.
Ekahau's products comprise a range of software tools and devices to facilitate Wi-Fi design, site surveys, optimization, and troubleshooting. Together they provide a versatile and comprehensive toolkit for all kinds and sizes of organizations, helping you to identify the optimum location of APs, improve performance and security, and identify potential issues before they become serious problems.
