Wi-Fi Spectrum Control
Professional wireless networks depend on the presence of a strong reliable physical layer as the basis of communication. However, this basic requirement can be a challenge for Wi-Fi networks, which must share the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz spectrum with a variety of potentially interfering technologies. The AirMagnet® Spectrum Analyzer solves this problem with an intuitive solution that allows IT staff to easily look into the Wi-Fi spectrum, specifically identify sources of interference, and track them to their physical source. This insures that IT can rely on AirMagnet's Suite of Mobile Wi-Fi tools to quickly identify and resolve any wireless problem.

Key features include:
— Automatic and real-time identification of Bluetooth,    cordless phones, microwaves, analog video cameras,    RF jammers and more Immediately "see" and name    each device
— Locate and track down the source of interfering wireless    devices
— Cover all Wi-Fi bands worldwide: 2.4-2.5 GHz and 4.9    -5.9 GHz
— Choose from a dozen real-time views to build    personalized diagnostic views including plots of FFT ,    Duty Cycle, Swept Spectrograms and more.
— Flexible and mobile. Runs on any Windows XP laptop,    with no specialty RF devices to carry.
— Record and playback spectrum sessions for detailed    post-collection analysis.

• Meeting Real-World Challenges
Earlier generations of RF spectrum tools were typically out of reach for most IT staffs. These tools were expensive, clumsy, single-purpose tools that required months or even years of training to use correctly. The AirMagnet Spectrum Analyzer breaks this mold by delivering rapid, accurate results on a standard computing platform, removing the need for traditional equipment costing tens of thousands of dollars. At the core of this new solution is a unique wireless chipset designed to read RF information that typical Wi-Fi cards are unable to see. This empowers the AirMagnet Spectrum Analyzer with a unique set of capabilities:

     Spectrum Fingerprinting - Automatically identify dozens of types of wireless devices and sources of      interference. Allows IT to go straight to the problem and fix it.

     Spectrum Management - Straightforward visibility into the Wi-Fi spectrum allows users to enforce      coordinated spectrum policies.

     Device Finder - Greatly reduces time-to-fix by leading IT directly to the source of interference      problems.

     Session Record and Playback - Users can now save their spectrum scans and play them back for      future analysis. Files can be saved and shared between users for collaborative analysis.

A Rich Set of Intuitive RF Visualization for Your WLANs
• Automated Analysis
The AirMagnet Spectrum Analyzer uses patented spectral fingerprinting techniques to measure, analyze, and display critical spectrum events and log all interfering devices in real-time.

• Track All Wireless Devices
The AirMagnet Spectrum Analyzer automatically recognizes and displays a wide variety of wireless devices. Devices can be viewed by time and by channel for easy tracking and management.

• View Multiple Configurable Charts
Users can build completely customized diagnostic views from 10 available charts and plots. Each plot can be further customized to display only the specific data that the user requires. Available plots include:

- Real-time FFT Plot
- FFT Duty Cycle Plot
- Spectrogram Plot
- Power vs. Freq Plot
- Power vs. Time Plot
- Active Device Chart
- Devices vs. Channel Chart
- Devices vs. Time Chart
- Duty Cycle vs. Channel Chart
- Duty Cycle vs. Time Chart

• Integration with AirMagnet Survey
The AirMagnet Spectrum Analyzer also integrates with AirMagnet's site survey application, allowing users to capture and view both Wi-Fi and spectrum data during their site surveys. This integration provides location-specific views of the RF spectrum for every survey data point.
