Ensure Optimal Home Wi-Fi Performance For Up to 50 Employee Devices

CLEVELAND - 7SIGNAL®, the leader in enterprise Wireless Network Monitoring (WNM), is providing 50 days of free Wi-Fi performance monitoring via its Mobile Eye app to businesses with remote workers (up to 50 devices).

As COVID-19 sweeps the nation, more businesses are enabling remote work to help slow the spread of the virus. However, home Wi-Fi equipment presents a challenge: It was not set up to maintain the critical business applications, computers and other mobile devices required for a productive workforce. It’s also difficult for IT teams to troubleshoot Wi-Fi issues on private networks.

“While companies invest in enterprise-grade networking equipment and computer hardware for their offices, employees are now being forced to work off Wi-Fi equipment they bought at their local retail electronics store,” said Russ Wangler, CTO at 7SIGNAL. “This opens the door for all sorts of Wi-Fi connectivity issues, which can negatively impact employee efficiency and performance.”

7SIGNAL’s patented Mobile Eye is an enterprise Software as a Service (SaaS) application that can be installed on any Windows, MacOS or Android device. It runs passive and active Wi-Fi tests from the end-user’s perspective to help IT teams address Wi-Fi issues and keep wireless devices performing optimally.

Using Mobile Eye, engineers can remotely solve in-home Wi-Fi problems caused by adjacent and co-channel interference, roaming, adapter and driver combinations, network congestion, inadequate coverage and poor end-to-end performance.

“In almost every industry, ‘business as usual’ is completely different now,” said Tom Barrett, 7SIGNAL CEO. “We understand that companies want to support their employees in doing the best work they can, given the circumstances. That’s why we developed this offer. We’re looking forward to helping.”

Mobile Eye can be applied to in-home networks the same way it is used in office environments. Through effective monitoring of in-home Wi-Fi performance and easy identification of network problems, IT teams can provide employees with the optimal environment for remote work, boosting overall team productivity.
