Aerohive Networks has released a new version of its free Online Wi-Fi Planner for quick and easy Wi-Fi deployment.
Users can upload a floor plan or draw the perimeter and walls using different wall types, and place any of a variety of different access points themselves or use Aerohive’s new auto placement feature to specify the coverage level.
The planner generates PDF reports showing AP locations, AP inventory, RF settings and heatmaps, which can be distributed to management or installers to streamline the deployment process from start to finish.
“As more organizations rely on wireless to support voice, video and data networks, ensuring proper AP Density for performance and reliability is essential and must be factored in during the deployment planning stages,” said Adam Conway, Vice President of Product Management at Aerohive.
The new version of the tool will also be included in Aerohive’s upcoming HiveManager 3.5 at no additional cost. Their blog has more.
