Ekahau Introduces the Next Generation of Ekahau Site Survey(TM) 6.0 for IEEE 802.11ac Wi-Fi Network Planning and Optimization
Ekahau Site Survey ESS(TM) 6.0 provides advanced Wi-Fi tools for planning, analyzing, and measuring 802.11ac network performance
RESTON, Virginia, March 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Ekahau Inc., the leader in Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS) and innovative Wi-Fi
planning and deployment tools, announced today the new Ekahau Site Survey(TM) version 6.0
(ESS[TM]) with support for 802.11ac devices. ESS[TM] is the leading Wi-Fi design and
deployment software tool
[http://www.ekahau.com/products/ekahau-site-survey/overview.html?utm_source=pr&utm_medium=pr&utm_campaign=ess_6_pr ]
that enables streamlined Wi-Fi network planning, site surveys,
and administration.

The emerging next generation 802.11ac Wi-Fi standard will bring a number of
improvements resulting in increased data rates and capacity. Taking full advantage of the
new features requires an understanding of 802.11ac technology and also makes network
planning and analyzing more challenging. ESS[TM] 6.0 offers both manual and automatic
network planning with automated AP placement and channel optimization to minimize
interference, channel overlap, and to ensure adequate coverage. In addition, by selecting
the AP type, users automatically receive information on the device's 802.11ac
capabilities, within the ESS(TM) software tool.
The ESS(TM) 6.0 software models the key 802.11ac parameters and allows estimation of
network capacity for a set of user-configurable client devices and their applications.
ESS(TM) 6.0 enables Wi-Fi administrators to estimate how network capacity differs, for
example, between first and second generation 802.11ac devices.
"The goal of doing a network analysis is to understand network capacity--whether it
can support and perform up to required standards with the increasing volume of wireless
clients resulting from the BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) trend", said Mikko Lauronen,
Product Manager, Ekahau Wi-Fi Tools. "The ESS(TM) capacity analysis feature allows users
to accurately estimate the capacity of the planned network with a different set of client
devices and traffic patterns," Lauronen continues.
Live Wi-Fi network analysis

, a key feature provided by ESS[TM], allows
measurement and verification of the 802.11ac APs' capabilities including the number of
supported spatial streams, channel bandwidth and other important parameters. ESS[TM]
allows customers to enjoy the full benefits of improved network performance resulting from
802.11ac adoption.
Ekahau Site Survey(TM) 6.0 is now available from the Ekahau Webshop (Americas) and
Ekahau resellers and distributors
