AirMagnet VoFi Analyzer
Overview
AirMagnet's VoFi Analyzer is the industry's only solution purpose-built for troubleshooting voice-over-WLAN problems in the field. Unlike traditional voice over wi-fi solutions, 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. VoFi Analyzer 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 PRO provides additional integration with leading voice solutions from Cisco, Spectralink and Vocera for complete end-to-end call analysis.
Ensure Voice Quality
AirMagnet VoFi Analyzer delivers a simple top-down view into your voice deployment, clearly displaying all calls and roaming events. The voice over wi-fi solution automatically audits your WLAN to verify all Quality-of-Service and 802.11e settings are configured correctly and identifies any QoS traffic problems. All calls are automatically identified, tracked and scored in terms of WiMOS Scores and WiR-Values, making it easy to see problem areas in the network.
Simplify Voice With AirWISE®
- The AirWISE® module automatically identifies the root causes of 60 different VoFi problems and explains the situation in detail. Each alert names what devices or network setting caused the issue and recommends potential solutions. With the built-in AirWISE Expert, users can vastly reduce the amount of time needed to identify and resolve problems for their end users.
- AirWISE includes 60 alerts covering all critical areas of wireless voice including: QoS implementation errors, overloaded AP/Channel, high packet-error rate, excessive roaming, AP interference, dropped calls, line busy, high retry rates, one-way audio problems and much more.
Simple, Complete Call Investigation
- View complete details on any call with customizable charts correlating changes in quality with over 50 critical call metrics.
- Full visibility into all call roaming events in the network. "Follow Phone" feature enables the VoFi Analyzer to track a particular device for focused analysis and troubleshooting.
- Correlate changes in call quality with AirWISE alarms and roaming events.
- View interconnections between all devices in the network.
- Actively track both voice and data statistics for all APs and Channels.
