Ekahau Site Survey version 8.6 released for both Windows and OS X (Beta)

Ekahau Analyzer is part of Ekahau Connect subscription and requires Ekahau Sidekick measurement device. The Analyzer app is a professional grade Wi-Fi health validation and troubleshooting tool for iPhones and iPads. The auto test function diagnoses your network faster and with more accuracy than any other product on the market.

Today, we’re finally releasing Ekahau Site Survey for Mac OS X in public beta. You can download it from the same place as the Windows version (check your license email for the download URL). The Mac version works quite similarly as the Windows version already, which is exciting!

Igi 1 winrar. The 8.6 release brings a number of exciting improvements to the Windows version as well:

• Support for high DPI display devices such as Microsoft Surface 3/4 and Dell XPS 13
• Photos for AP notes (for example AP installation images)
• Improved One-Click Reporting – now includes, for example, per-band reporting
• New crosshair cursors (once again, we’ll get them perfect one of these days), new APs as always, etc…

Limitations of the OS X version:

• Surveying: The key reason we’re still calling it beta is the site survey piece is more limited than Windows version. We can only use the MacBook integrated Wi-Fi adapter for passive scanning. No multi-NIC. No control over channels to scan. No standardized passive survey readings as laptop antennas and adapters vary depending on the laptop model. And for active scanning, you can use the few external adapters that work on a MacBook (and the drivers for those provided by the adapter manufacturer aren’t always perfect). There is no support (and never will be) for NIC-300 / Proxim 8494 adapters on Mac OS X.
  Recap:Integrated adapter for passive scanning & external adapter for active scanning if you can find one. No Ekahau NIC-300 Support!
• Licensing: Using just one license on both operating systems is not super-easy for now, and is not supported by Ekahau at this time. We recommend just picking one operating system (best option for most), or purchasing another license if you’d like to run ESS on both operating systems (does not make sense for most).If you want to start using Ekahau Site Survey for Mac OS X, you can simply use your existing license key which you have been using with the Windows version. During the license activation process, the Windows activation will be automatically released and moved over to Mac OS X. No need to contact our tech support… hopefully 🙂

  If you absolutely want to use both Windows and OS X versions with the same license, there is an unsupported method with Windows Boot Camp on Mac. Read more about the unsupported method here: https://docs.ekahau.com/index.php/ESS_for_Mac_OS_X_Beta_-_Licensing

• No GPS support for outdoor surveys
• Stability is not quite up to the Windows version level yet. After all, the Windows version has been around several years and has been used by tens of thousands of customers. Fortunately, the Mac version has already gone through a massive beta test program and our QA team has been on Red Bull diet since May, so we don’t expect any huge issues. However, should you run into any problems contact our support at www.ekahau.com/support or @EkahauSupport on Twitter.

We’ll be improving the OS X version towards the end of the year with the goal of dropping the beta late this year or early next – stay tuned!

What is a Wi-Fi heatmap?

A Wi-Fi heatmap is a visual representation of the wireless signal coverage and strength. Wi-Fi heatmaps are generally overlaid on top of a building or facility floorplan to help give network owners a clear idea of where problem areas are located in relation to the collected survey data.

Plan more accurately

Design networks for your unique requirements with simulated heatmaps and validate with real-world testing.

Visualize your network

Remove the guesswork out of optimization and visualize your network performance with easy-to-understand heatmaps.

Get actionable outcomes

Find and fix coverage gaps that occur over time to maintain and optimize for a high-performing wireless network.

Creating Wi-Fi Heatmaps with Ekahau Connect

Heatmaps are a critical component of the Ekahau Connect suite of Wi-Fi tools. Generate simulated Wi-Fi heatmaps to test access point (AP) placement using Ekahau Pro in your initial design phase or connect your IPhone or iPad to Ekahau Sidekick and visualize real-time network coverage heatmaps from your site surveys with Ekahau Survey for iPhone & iPad.

Types of Wi-Fi Heatmaps and Visualizations

Signal Strength
Displays the signal strength of the selected set of APs in dBm.

Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)
Shows the ratio of the signal strength relative to the noise in the environment.

Channel Overlap
Shows how many APs are overlapping on a single channel in the given area.

Network Health
Provides a summarized overview of the network based on whether defined network requirements are met or not.

Associated Access Point (AP)
Predicts which AP the client devices will be associated, or, if Hybrid Site Surveys have been made, displays the actual associated AP.

Capacity Health
Displays whether the network meets the Capacity Requirements.

Channel Bandwidth
Displays channel bandwidth to better visualize your 802.11n/ac/ax network characteristics such as channel bonding.

Channel Coverage
Displays the channel of the AP with the strongest signal strength in each location.

Data Rate
Displays the potential rate at which the client device can communicate with the AP.

Interference/Noise
Displays interference/noise as a result of co-channel interference and other noise that may have an impact on performance.

Number of APs
Shows how many APs are audible in a given location.

Packet Loss
Displays the relative packet loss % over the floor map, as measured from the last 10 packets.

Throughput (Max)
Displays the theoretical maximum net throughput (excluding overhead) per location, given ideal circumstances.

Difference in Signal Strength
Shows the signal strength difference in measured values between the primary and secondary coverage of your design or survey in your network environment.

Difference in Number of APs
Shows the change in the number of APs between the primary and secondary AP location in your design or survey in your network environment.

Difference in Interference
Shows the interference difference in measured values between the primary and secondary AP in your design or survey in your network environment.
