Ekahau Survey for iOS makes measuring your Wi-Fi super easy. It basically supports all of the measuring functions of Ekahau Pro (the desktop app) when you hook your sidekick up to your phone. Import projects from the Cloud or sidekick and get to walking! Super easy to use on iPhone with your finger or on an iPad with or without a pencil. Ekahau Survey is the first professional grade Wi-Fi site survey tool for the iPad and it’s the easiest professional Wi-Fi site survey tool on the market. Even though it’s 70% lighter than using a laptop, it’s still full of features. And since it’s intuitive and simple to use, both Wi.

What is a Wi-Fi heatmap?

A Wi-Fi heatmap is a visual representation of the wireless signal coverage and strength. Wi-Fi heatmaps are generally overlaid on top of a building or facility floorplan to help give network owners a clear idea of where problem areas are located in relation to the collected survey data.

Plan more accurately

Design networks for your unique requirements with simulated heatmaps and validate with real-world testing.

Visualize your network

Remove the guesswork out of optimization and visualize your network performance with easy-to-understand heatmaps.

Get actionable outcomes

Find and fix coverage gaps that occur over time to maintain and optimize for a high-performing wireless network.

Types of Wi-Fi Heatmaps and Visualizations

Signal Strength
Displays the signal strength of the selected set of APs in dBm.

Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)
Shows the ratio of the signal strength relative to the noise in the environment.

Channel Overlap
Shows how many APs are overlapping on a single channel in the given area.

Network Health
Provides a summarized overview of the network based on whether defined network requirements are met or not.

Associated Access Point (AP)
Predicts which AP the client devices will be associated, or, if Hybrid Site Surveys have been made, displays the actual associated AP.

Capacity Health
Displays whether the network meets the Capacity Requirements.

Channel Bandwidth
Displays channel bandwidth to better visualize your 802.11n/ac/ax network characteristics such as channel bonding.

Channel Coverage
Displays the channel of the AP with the strongest signal strength in each location.

Data Rate
Displays the potential rate at which the client device can communicate with the AP.

Interference/Noise
Displays interference/noise as a result of co-channel interference and other noise that may have an impact on performance.

Number of APs
Shows how many APs are audible in a given location.

Packet Loss
Displays the relative packet loss % over the floor map, as measured from the last 10 packets.

Throughput (Max)
Displays the theoretical maximum net throughput (excluding overhead) per location, given ideal circumstances.

Difference in Signal Strength
Shows the signal strength difference in measured values between the primary and secondary coverage of your design or survey in your network environment.
