More and more, end users rely on WiFi to reliably deliver premium services such as video and IPTV to devices throughout their homes. However, the highly dynamic nature of Wi-Fi networks (including false interference, in-channel or overlapping-channel networks added by other parties, and a growing number of WiFi devices) has an ongoing impact on performance and QoE. As a result, 40% of all trouble calls are now WiFi-related. Technicians who install and maintain in-home WiFi need robust installation methods and fast troubleshooting capabilities.
WiFi Advisor consists of an iPad app and one or more WFED-300AC test devices. It is the first test solution to meet the specific needs of installation professionals at every skill level. Offering a new and visually rich approach to testing, its intuitive capabilities enable fast characterization, optimization, and troubleshooting of highly variable and vulnerable in-home WiFi networks. It displays a whole-home view of actual WiFi performance/performance margin and can deliver easy-to-understand performance information directly to the end customer.
