The NetAlly AM/B4010G-GOV *US Government Edition* AirMagnet Survey Express Software is the industry's most accurate wireless site survey solution for planning and designing 802.11 a/b/g/n wireless LANs for optimal performance, security and compliance. The NetAlly AMB4010G AirMagnet Survey's wireless site survey tool calculates the ideal quantity, placement and configuration of APs for a successful WLAN deployment. The AM/B4010G is a digitally distributed version, and is delivered electronically via e-mail. The AM/B4010G requires NetAlly's AllyCare Support, which offers comprehensive support and maintenance service.

The NetAlly AirMagnet Survey goes beyond just verifying RF coverage, by plotting actual end-user network performance in terms of connection speed, throughput and packet statistics. The end result is a complete Wi-Fi "weather map" of all critical RF and end-user performance metrics.

Advanced features allow users to integrate with professional spectrum analyzers, model pre-deployment scenarios, generate customized survey reports, perform outdoor surveys, conduct voice surveys, verify end-user network requirements, and do detailed end-user capacity planning.

The NetAlly AirMagnet Survey is available in "Express" and "PRO" versions. The NetAlly AirMagnet Survey Express offers a lighter version of the wireless site survey solution that allows users to perform the basics of Wi-Fi site surveying with ability to map out signal, noise and even user performance. The NetAlly AirMagnet Survey PRO extends those capabilities found in the Express version and adds powerful, industry-defining features including 802.11n deployments, multi-floor deployments, outdoor surveys, network design verification, voice readiness verification and surveys, RF spectrum analysis, and many more.

Deploy 802.11ac Networks

The NetAlly AirMagnet Survey is the industry's only WLAN deployment solution that enables users to measure as well as assess true end user experience of a WLAN network using an 802.11ac adapter. The NetAlly AirMagnet Survey goes beyond just verifying RF coverage, by plotting actual end user network performance in terms of throughput and PHY data rates, taking MIMO and other environmental situations/network configurations into account. The NetAlly AirMagnet Survey clearly shows the coverage of specific 802.11ac parameters that boost performance such as higher MCS schemes andwider channels (20/40/80/160 MHz coverage maps), and where interference and legacy components may impact 802.11ac performance. Channel width coverage maps enable users to achieve higher data rates by developing an optimal channel allocation plan in order to take advantage of 802.11ac's expanded channel widths.

With its unique Channel Overlap heat-map, visualizing the primary and secondary channel overlap enables users to mitigate channel interference to maximize the performance potential of 802.11ac networks. The end result is a complete Wi-Fi "weather map" of allcritical RF and end user performance metrics. These "real world" measurements allow IT staff to design and deploy WLAN accurately fromthe get go and help save time and money by avoiding end user networkcomplaints and costly redesigns of the network.

Detailed Analysis

The NetAlly AirMagnet Survey automatically displays survey results on a map of your location, providing unlimited options for visual analysis

Simultaneous site surveying

The NetAlly AirMagnet Survey's simultaneous multiple surveying capability, that leverages multiple adapters plugged into the same PC, provides users with the industry's best solution to emulate real-world client behavior (using active and Iperf surveys) and at the same time reduce site surveying time, effort and cost by half. For example, users can perform active surveys and passive surveys simultaneously or across multiple spectrum bands, such asa 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz survey.

Visualize Coverage Differences Over Time

The NetAlly AirMagnet Survey's Diff View feature allows side-by-side visualizing of differences between two separate surveys. This helps show how a site's wireless environment has changed over time. Likewise, users can use this feature to quickly compare AirMagnet Planner results with actual site survey results.

Establish a secure network

To ensure the highest level of security in a WLAN, AirMagnet Survey designs the network to minimize RF spillage outside the corporate building. This spillage should be kept to a minimum, unless service is to be provided in the parking lot or an outside area. With AirMagnet Survey, users can also locate unauthorized or performance intensive stations detected during a survey on the floor map.

AllyCare Support

AllyCare Support is required with the purchase of the AM/B4010G AirMagnet Survey Express Software. It is sold separately and can be bought as either a 1-year or 3-year support option.
