7signal Site Miner
Wireless Network Verification and Troubleshooting
7signal Site Miner is a WLAN verification and troubleshooting tool, which is rapidly deployable to any area in your network. With the 7signal Site Miner network administrators can monitor and get reports on end-user quality in the wireless environment and in end-to-end connections. The traditionally time-consuming network analysis and data measurement operations are easily automated with the 7signal Site Miner.
With 7signal Site Miner it is easy to temporarily survey WLAN networks, detect disturbance and measure true usability of the WLAN site. Troubleshooting, locating performance bottlenecks as well as verifying true functionality of WLAN service area has never been easier!
Typical cases include
Network environment survey
Supports WLAN planning, deployment and installation. A critical functionality where access point interference, location and quality certification are needed.
Network optimization
Quality and efficiency of operational networks can be optimized. Measure how WLAN is performing, and then make the necessary adjustments for optimizing performance, based on the suggestions from the clear and comprehensive reports you get from 7signal Site Miner.
Network troubleshooting
When networks are suspected or known to have sporadic or continuous quality issues.
Post-installation verification
Ensures that WLAN coverage and quality targets are met for the end-user requirements.
