All it takes to ensure everyone at the company has truly awesome Wi-Fi, is a quick walk around the office with your Sidekick 2.
Just plug the Sidekick 2 into your phone or tablet, sling it over your shoulder, and go for a walk around the site. Or if you’d rather, have someone else do it — anyone that can walk a dog can walk a Sidekick… and by getting more people involved on the data collection side, you’re freed up to focus more on analyzing the results and making optimizations.
Your site’s floor plan pops up on your display like GPS navigation giving you a visual for where you’ve been and where you’re headed. Just walk the hallways, rooms, courtyards or anywhere else you have users that rely on good, consistent, fast Wi-Fi — because if it’s not good… this is how you find out and this is how you fix it.
When you’ve finished your walkabout, the onsite data syncs and the real magic begins. The surveyor is finished but the Wi-Fi expert can now access that data from anywhere.
That survey data you just collected turns into incredibly precise and detailed heatmaps showing you things like coverage gaps where you aren’t getting Wi-Fi, capacity issues where you might not have enough access points for all the devices that need to connect, or even new sources of channel interference that have popped up since the last time you surveyed.
Because the truth is, your wireless environment changes ALL THE TIME. Your network can be degraded by new neighboring networks, physical changes to your space adding new employees, or even just rotating inventory levels.
And all of that is available to view right there on your mobile device, but it also syncs across your account so you can compare all the different surveys from all your different sites in one place, and drill down into problem areas that aren’t cutting it for your users.
Unlike a wired network, there's no disconnected cables to see with Wi-Fi. Ekahau makes the wireless world visible and helps you easily fix small problems before they become big.
