THOUSAND OAKS, CA--(Marketwire - Jul 30, 2012) - Xirrus®, the leader in high-performance wireless networks, today announced the availability of their Wi-Fi Designer™ application. The Wi-Fi Designer application provides criteria-based design for planning wireless networks that match the specific signal level and band (5GHz/2.4GHz) requirements of mobile devices such as iPads, laptops and smart phones. It also provides wireless coverage and application performance needs -- critical factors in ensuring user experience goals are being met. Wi-Fi Designer improves the accuracy and simplifies the surveying process, giving Xirrus partners instant visibility as to whether the design passes or fails pre-determined criteria and user expectations.
With Wi-Fi Designer, organizations can:
- Quickly complete Active Surveys with Xirrus Wireless Arrays taking real-time measurements to qualify the design for the Xirrus implementation guarantee
- Predictively plan a Wi-Fi network strategy with the optimal number of Xirrus Wireless Arrays and their recommended placement
- Model different site conditions, Array configurations and positioning options to visualize impact to RF coverage and capacity
- Validate post-installation capacity and coverage against an initial plan to ensure a successful deployment
