AirScout® provides an automated solution that surveys the residence from Layer 1 all the way through to the application layer. Providing technicians with a tool that makes complex measurements into easy to understand metrics; enabling technicians to convey to consumers whether their applications are supported where they need it.AirScout may output an easy to explain representation of the Wi-Fi® environment but this product goes beyond simple test and measurement. The value lies in not only validating a home for Wi-Fi® readiness but also identifying solutions to solve problems within existing environments.Intelligent Channel SelectionCurrent tools provide a very complex channel graph showing the different access points on each channel, and it is left up to the technician to arbitrarily choose a channel, not necessarily the correct one. AirScout supplies those graphs but also goes beyond that by adding a layer of intelligence to this process. By making sure it chooses the best channel and showing the technician the optimum channel number, there is not opportunity for technician error in interpreting complex graphs.Optimal Access Point LocationCurrent best practices used by technicians is for them to place the access point in the center of the home or where the set top box is located. A few technicians actually have single hand held test devices and run around the house looking for 5 bar signal strength in a couple rooms as an indication that the location is "ok". However, these practices have resulted in up to 50% of customer service calls being Wi-Fi® related. The AirScout solution stresses the Wi-Fi® network from everywhere Wi-Fi® is being used, understands the congestion and interference in those locations and is then able to accurately depict on a floor plan which room and location in the room where the optimal access point location actually is.
