The Analyzer includes the new 11n Performance Toolkit, a first-of-a-kind feature set that let users quickly see how best to deploy 11n technology and maximize the real-world performance of the network. The toolkit is available in AirMagnet WiFi Analyzer PRO only.
* 802.11n Device Throughput Calculator tool to calculate and compare the expected performance metrics for an 802.11n Access Point based on user input for 802.11n parameters. Every enterprise must use this tool before purchasing their 802.11n APs to understand the capabilities and limitations for their access points network performance.
* WLAN Throughput Simulator tool captures the existing infrastructure environment and calculates the network throughput and overhead under user-specified conditions. It also allows the simulation of new APs or stations with specific capabilities and visualization of the impact on performance. Every enterprise must use this tool before making that decision to introducing 802.11n devices in their network.
* Efficiency and Analysis tools to help users get the maximum value out of their 802.11n infrastructure, by analyzing conversations between the AP and station and pin-pointing areas where the 802.11n high throughput options are not being well used. The tools also go further and provide solutions on fixing those areas.
* AirMagnet WiFi integrates with Iperf — a free, open-source software tool for network performance analysis — to analyze uplink and downlink network performance including bandwidth, throughput, 20/40 MHz traffic, data rates, etc.
