General Information
There was a time when you needed to get your laptop to survey and troubleshoot your Wi-Fi network and there was a time when you couldn't monitor the Wi-Fi network from the end user perspective.
Introducing Ekahau Mobile Survey:
Site Surveys: Finally Touch-Operated and Light-Weight
Perform Wi-Fi walk-through site surveys to ensure sufficient network coverage in all locations. With a tablet or phone, it's light-weight, super-easy, and touch operated. If that wasn't enough, there's an on-screen help to guide you through it.
Easy-to-Read HeatMap Analysis of Network Coverage
Once you've walked through the facility, Ekahau Mobile Survey locates the nearby access points, and displays network coverage. The coverage can be visualized for all access points, your network, selected SSID, or a single access point. You can set minimum thresholds, such as "The Cisco voice deployment guidelines mandate -67dBm signal coverage or better".
Analyze and Troubleshoot
Want to know how your Wi-Fi network is performing, end-to-end? Just open Ekahau Mobile Survey on your mobile phone or tablet. You'll get comprehensive analysis on Wi-Fi coverage and connectivity details - in super-easy, graphical form.
See your Infrastructure On A Map
Ekahau Mobile Survey displays your network infrastructure layout and its current condition, overlaid on a graphical map. Even the largest sites with multiple floors and even buildings become easily manageable, with your personal mobile device. You'll pinpoint AP locations and configurations, and see their current statuses!
Monitor Transparently
As you mind your daily business and walk in the facility, Ekahau Mobile Survey monitors the network continually by performing active and passive tests. The user is only interrupted with warnings if the network fails to meet the requirements for the service of your choice. The services include voice over Wi-Fi, location tracking, basic data, and more. Mobile Survey also provides alarms about nearby rogue (non-friendly) access points.
Ekahau Site Survey Two-Way Integration
The projects surveyed with Ekahau Mobile Survey can be exported to Ekahau Site Survey laptop/desktop tool. This allows combining light-weight and quick surveys with flexible, in-depth analysis and reporting.
It works the other way, too: Ekahau Mobile Survey can import your existing project files (.esx) from Ekahau Site Survey. This allows you to perform additional surveys on an existing project; Very usable if you want to perform additional surveys in case network infrastructure or building infrastructure changes.
