• WLAN planning for 802.11 a/b/g & h networks • Quick 3D engine for real time simulation of WLAN building characteristics • Easy to use even for WLAN beginners • Vendor neutral • Built-in wall and antenna library • Reduced installation cost with more effective WLAN-networks • Comprehensive view of WLAN network coverage • Reliable, comprehensive documentation Wireless LAN network performance is affected differently by various building materials. These materials influence WLAN signals in many ways and are not necessarily foreseeable, even for professionals. Wireless networks require a WLAN planning solution for optimal performance and problem avoidance. Whether your network is large or small, RF3D WifiPlanner allows you to perfectly plan your network and to calculate the network coverage in buildings with multi-floor capability. Planning is a snap with RF3D! Reduce your costs! With RF3D WifiPlanner, you can perfectly plan your WLAN on your computer and easily plan network coverage. By planning the correct amount of components required, unnecessary items are eliminated. Eliminating just one access point covers the cost of the RF3D WifiPlanner. In addition, installation time is reduced, saving time and labor cost. As a result, WLAN planning is quick and easy. Effective 3D-Radio-network by design 3D is the key to RF3D. With 3D, multi-floor installations are accurately and correctly designed. After all, WLAN is not a 2D medium. To help, floor plans in jpg, png or bmp format can be easily scanned by the RF3D WifiPlanner and organized with the help of the import wizard. Non-conforming or scewed plans are easily adjusted to same scale and congruent overlayed positioned. Interacting objects like walls, ceiling and shelves will be gone over in the ground plans. For this function, a large library provides wall and ceiling materials with the physical parameters. This library can be easily adjusted and enlarged by the user. Vendor neutral RF3D WifiPlanner is vendor neutral and offers a database of all WLAN networks no matter which access point or antenna vendor you prefer. Place access points with a single mouse click and simply adjust the height, antenna type, light angle, transmission power, channels etc. RF3D WifiPlanner will take care of everything else. Additional information provided in real time includes signal strength, data rate, and interference. Significant graphs and documentation Besides signal strength, RF3D displays different views of WLANs on the first floor. This includes: Signal strength, SNR, data rate, interference, access points and redundance. This display makes it easy for even beginning WLAN-planners to optimize the WLAN. Printing a report is easy, providing a working plan for contractors and installers.
