[itdiscuss] Wifi Testing Tools

[Jason Hand]

I'm skeptical of companies that make you go through their lead acquisition
process just to get pricing.  Might be a good product but I would not
normally look at a company like this.

I guess you are too far along for this, but for anyone that is not, Ruckus
wireless networks automatically manage access point radio channels and
signal strength, and will adjust as needed to ensure coverage if some access
points go offline.  It also allows meshing so if part of your wired network
goes down the affected access points can pull network connectivity from
other access points that still have connections.  It also has some pretty
neat interference avoidance features.  They cost more than the Linksys-level
Walmart access points, but they have significantly better coverage, and they
cost significantly less than the other players in the enterprise wireless
market.  If anyone wants info let me know.

I have been working on expanding my wifi system, but have reached a point
that I need to get better data on AP range, RF and data on the wifi system
to make sure I am getting it set up correctly.  What tools, devices or
whatever is out there that other have used that work well?


Thanks,
