SUNNYVALE, Calif., May 12, 2009 — AirMagnet Inc., the leader in security, performance and compliance solutions for wireless LANs, today announced the industry's first true voice-grade site survey capability for wireless. This capability — made possible with new versions of AirMagnet Survey PRO and AirMagnet VoFi Analyzer PRO — enables organizations to efficiently deploy voice applications and instantly troubleshoot any voice-over-wireless issues on the network to ensure quality and performance.

"Voice networks usually have more stringent requirements, as compared to data access networks. They require stronger signal levels, coverage overlap to prevent calls from being dropped, guaranteed bandwidth and low latency for optimum call quality, and more," said Chia Chee Kuan, CTO at AirMagnet. "This new release gives customers unprecedented control over voice applications, both in pre-planning, deployment and ongoing management."

The AirMagnet solution addresses these challenges allowing network installers and IT staff to not only design and deploy the network optimally at the start using AirMagnet's built-in voice readiness verification system (now includes support for Cisco 7925 phones and Vocera communications badges), but also to perform real-world voice surveys on an ongoing basis. With these voice surveys users can validate and plot the phone call quality, capacity and other voice specific parameters at every location on a floor map, to help identify and minimize issues that may be causing low call quality.

"There is a real need in the market for tools that allow organizations to monitor voice traffic performance and perform voice-grade site surveys instantly," said Steve Newson, Manager of Systems Engineering, Vocera, Inc. "Not only does this new AirMagnet integration allow a wireless professional to immediately troubleshoot, it also helps validate and map the call quality and other criteria to help ensure the highest standards are being met from the beginning of the deployment to the end."

AirMagnet Survey PRO empowers users with coverage maps built specifically for voice networks, including WiMOS (phone call quality), wireless Access Point's voice capacity, channel utilization and phone data rate/retry rates. To address challenges with roaming, the fundamental requirement for any VoFi deployment, AirMagnet Survey PRO provides real-time roaming alerts and statistics for users while performing surveys, and also marks areas on the floor where phones tend to roam.

This latest release of the AirMagnet VoFi Analyzer PRO includes support for the latest 7.0 version of the Cisco Call Manager, enabling users to correlate diagnostic information collected from the air or phone with the wire-side information, such as latency, lost packets and call termination reasons from the Call Manager.

AirMagnet Survey is the industry's most accurate WLAN design and deployment verification solution, ideal for planning and designing a wireless LAN for optimal performance, security and compliance. It stands apart from other market solutions by enabling enterprises to collect live signal, packet and spectrum data during their site surveys. This allows enterprises to simulate and measure network performance in the most scientific way possible—with the most accurate depiction of a real-world user experience-which ultimately results in a better performing network.

AirMagnet's VoFi Analyzer is the industry's only solution purpose-built for troubleshooting VoWLAN problems in the field. Unlike traditional voice over Wi-Fi solutions, AirMagnet VoFi Analyzer enables staff to measure call quality in real-time, automatically detect and troubleshoot the sources of voice problems, even on fully encrypted wireless networks. It addresses all aspects of wireless voice and diagnoses issues rooted in the end-user's phone, QoS problems, RF problems, WLAN problems and even wired network problems associated with Voice over Wi-Fi. AirMagnet VoFi Analyzer provides additional integration with leading voice solutions from Cisco, Spectralink and Vocera for complete end-to-end call analysis.

The new version of AirMagnet Survey PRO and AirMagnet VoFi Analyzer PRO are available now. The new features are available and free to existing AirMagnet Survey PRO and AirMagnet VoFi Analyzer PRO customers who have a current support agreement.
