SUNNYVALE, Calif., July 19, 2010 — AirMagnet, now part of Fluke Networks, today announced AirMedicâ„¢ USB, an easy-to-use and affordable spectrum analysis tool that brings Wi-Fi troubleshooting to entry-level users. The product uses the universal USB form factor to give users the flexibility of installing and using the application on a Microsoft Corp. Windows PC or Apple Inc. MacBook Pro, and delivers unique capabilities not found in competitive solutions.
"As small and mid-sized businesses — as well as enterprises — continue to transition to wireless as the default network for employee and business connectivity, they need tools that deliver spectrum analysis capabilities and resolution, at an affordable price," said Chia Chee Kuan, CTO at AirMagnet. "AirMedic USB offers a fast and simple, ‘just the facts' approach for frontline technicians and wireless professionals dealing with the periodic performance and reliability problems that all wireless LANs experience."
Interference is everywhere in today's business environment and every Wi-Fi network is impacted by it. Built upon AirMagnet's unmatched experience in Wi-Fi troubleshooting, AirMedic USB allows a user to quickly determine what part of a WLAN is experiencing RF interference issues and how that impacts performance (such as slow connections or frequent disconnection). It also helps users find the best channel for deploying APs in their environment for maximized performance. Furthermore, AirMedic's built-in library of spectrum graphs and Wi-Fi charts arms the user with all the information they need to troubleshoot problems in the WLAN.
Key features in AirMagnet AirMedic USB include:
Along with the choice of an easy upgrade, AirMagnet AirMedic USB users can also save spectrum trace files from their environment to open them in the industry's only USB-based professional spectrum analysis solution, AirMagnet Spectrum XT (both products use the same USB spectrum adapter). It takes troubleshooting a step further by combining in-depth RF analysis with real-time WLAN information.
