Laptop-sized analyser provides advanced WiFi analysis and troubleshooting

2 May 2007 Test & Measurement

Official South African partner, Concilium Technologies has introduced the latest version of Airmagnet's wireless security and performance troubleshooting solution, Laptop Analyzer 7.0 PRO, to the local marketplace. In addition to a new user interface - designed to simplify troubleshooting wireless LANs - Version 7.0 enables users to analyse sources of interference and troubleshoot devices.

Concilium Technologies says that a new interference analysis module also provides network managers with a detailed description of how interference impacts all layers of the wireless network by:

* Examining all traffic to identify both co-channel and adjacent-channel interference.

* Calculating bandwidth and throughput loss caused by interfering Wi-Fi devices.

* Identifying hidden nodes, which can cause network collisions.

* Integrating with AirMagnet's Spectrum Analyser to identify non-Wi-Fi sources of interference.

This all provides a complete picture of overall radio frequency (RF) quality by accounting for both the network-level and physical aspects of interference. By sharing session-data between the AirMagnet Spectrum Analyser and the AirMagnet Laptop Analyzer, network administrators can also perform analysis at a layer 1 (RF) level, making it easy to pinpoint the specific sources of non-802.11 interference.

Laptop Analyser 7.0 offers support for important Wi-Fi adapters, such as Intel's latest wireless adapter, the Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Wireless Network Connector.
