WildPackets, a leading provider of network and application performance analysis solutions, and Ekahau, a leading provider of Wi-Fi planning and site survey tools, today announced a wireless analysis bundle designed to help enterprises address the complete lifecycle of wireless networking.
Ekahau provided the graphical, map-based Wi-Fi planning and optimization tools, while WildPackets provided its packet analysis technology for in-depth troubleshooting.
Ekahau Site Survey (ESS) allows automated, three-dimensional planning for Wi-Fi networks. Ekahau also brings Wi-Fi spectrum analysis to the solution with the Ekahau DBx Spectrum Analyzer, a USB device designed for monitoring Wi-Fi interference.
WildPackets’ OmniPeek Network Analyzer software offers an intuitive, easy-to-use graphical interface for rapidly monitoring, analyzing and troubleshooting wireless enterprise networks. The OmniPeek software monitors and analyzes “real world” wireless networks — multiple access points and multiple channels — and simplifies the display and analysis.
“Wireless networking continues to evolve and become more complex,” said Tony Barbagallo, vice president of marketing at WildPackets. “Enterprises deploying wireless need a single solution that addresses design, deployment, monitoring and troubleshooting of their wireless network. This joint offering will do exactly that.”
“The wireless monitoring and management systems from Wi-Fi infrastructure vendors provide a high-level, birds-eye view to manage the network,” said Jussi Kiviniemi, senior product manager at Ekahau. ”
