Fluke Networks unveils AirMapper App for Android Smart Phones
ABC Trade and Investments (Pvt) Ltd the Authorized Distributor for
Fluke Networks in Sri Lanka and Maldives announced the Fluke Networks
AirMapper App, the first application for Android that provides a visual
heat map of actual Wi-Fi throughput performance on smartphone and tablet
devices. While existing solutions can map speed and signal strength or
perform throughput spot checks, the AirMapper App is the first to
provide a visual throughput map, which is key to optimizing Wi-Fi
networks by taking the actual user experience of mobile devices into
account.
Design your Wi-Fi network to be BYOD-ready by measuring the
“true” end-user experience using your smart device |
A. Jayaseelan, CEO / Director of ABC Trade and Investments (Pvt) Ltd
said, “As more of our customers today use Smart Devices for most
essential purpose namely Email-Internet-Calls-Messaging-Application,
Business Solution over the Smart Devices is the key factor which we have
identified to be the revolutionary tool for today’s business needs. IT
groups within organizations face the constant challenge of flooded
network resources by smart phones, tablets, e-readers, etc.”
“With the recent Wi-Fi explosion and the ever-growing BYOD (Bring
Your Own Device) phenomenon, IT staff members must find the delicate
balance between meeting the needs of the users with the best practices
defined by the organization’s policies for Wi-Fi security and
performance,” said Intiqab Rawoof, Business Development Manager - Fluke
Networks. “The AirMapper app is the most accurate and complete heat map,
Wi-Fi network design and deployment solution available on the Android
platform,” he said.
Despite the growth of BYOD, a recent Fluke Networks market research
study shows many organizations are not yet ready to address performance
challenges with mobile devices in the workplace. Nearly 82 percent of
organizations allow employees to use personal mobile devices on the
wireless LAN (WLAN).
However, 51 percent are concerned with how BYOD will affect bandwidth
consumption. Yet, less than half of these organizations are planning to
redesign their wireless networks to meet the new performance expectation
associated with mobile devices, despite 42 percent of end users being
concerned with slow connections. AirMapper helps organizations bridge
this performance gap and design wireless networks that meet business and
user expectations.
In addition to providing a heat map of actual throughput of smart
devices, the AirMapper App also provides details of the Wi-Fi network,
including access point (AP) channel, signal and security properties,
helping ensure the delivery of critical business applications.
Users also have the ability to locate any AP on a floor map, and add
text, photo, audio or video annotations during the site survey. In
addition, the AirMapper App allows the export of the site survey
projects to AirMagnet Survey PRO via email, Dropbox, Evernote, Bluetooth
and more, for streamlined information sharing and advanced analysis and
reporting.
