AirMagnet Planner
AirMagnet Planner accounts for
building materials, obstructions,
access point configurations, antenna
patterns and a host of other variables
to provide a reliable predictive map of
Wi-Fi signal and performance. The solution offers superior predictive modeling
to determine ideal quantity, placement
and configuration of APs for optimal
security, performance andcompliance.
AirMagnet Planner includes built-in
automated tools to help users with
their migration strategy from existing
legacy 802.11a/b/g networks to the
new 802.11n technology
AirMagnet Planner can be purchased
as a separate product or as a fully

AirMagnet Planner provides full control of the proposed wireless
infrastructure to the users. They can add APs to any location and
experiment to find the ideal AP placement forthe environment based
on their requirements. AirMagnet Planner also provides full control
over all AP settings with independent settings for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz
radios. Users can set the AP channel, IP address, transmit power,
antenna type, orientation, height and 802.11n specifications. When
the planning session is complete, users can generate a professional Bill
of Materials report with allthe information that is needed to properly
install the network, and includes a complete list of required APs,
their ideal placement and configuration settings. Along with RF
coverage information, users are also powered with performance
metrics such as data rates and throughput.

Figure 2: 802.11n coverage maps

AirMagnet Planner is the WLAN industry’s only planningsolution
that covers all aspects of a successful 802.11n deployment –
migration, performance prediction and validation. Users can design
new 802.11n greenfield networks, as well as, plan their migration
strategies for existing legacy networks, including one-to-one replacements or the phased introduction of 802.11n devices into their legacy
network. Users can plan their 802.11n deployments formaximized
performance without any physical AP roll-out and are powered with
unique coverage maps for WLAN throughput and other 802.11n
coverage maps, such as Operating Mode, MCS Transmit Rate and
Channel Width, to predict the WLAN performance at every location on
the floor. Since AirMagnet Planner is part of a single, seamless application with AirMagnet Survey PRO, users can validate “modeled”...
