iSite accelerates WLAN survey and design while simplifying network management.
It was created for IT professionals challenged by complex WLAN deployments.
Requiring minimal knowledge of Radio Frequency (RF) engineering, iSite
implements an easy to use windows user interface and supports most WLAN
adaptors.

iSite WiFi supports Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7.
User Interface
iSite integrates survey and design functionality into one application. Users can
quickly switch between the survey mode and design mode to see plots based on
measured coverage or predicted coverage. iSite also offers a mixed mode that
lets users see how network adjustments will affect performance. An iSite project
consists of multiple floor plan layers. Within each layer, users add or modify
objects such as maps, access points, barriers and labels. Measurement points are
added by clicking on the map location where the measurement occurs.
Calculation Engine
iSite creates plots by modeling projects in 3D. Users can see how a transmitter
on one level contributes to interference on other levels. Antenna patterns are
used to accurately represent gain and directivity in the model. Users can build
a database of materials and transceivers to easily customize the model for
preferred infrastructure equipment.
Network Analysis
iSite helps analyze network operation and improve performance. Real-time views
show network scan and spectrum information. Plots show coverage and interference
as color gradients on the floor plan. Further analysis is possible using plots
that estimate data throughput and VoWiFi call capacity.
Spectrum Scan
The optional Wi-Spy 2.4x or Wi-Spy DBx created by
Metageek LLC., is a small portable USB device that scans and displays all
activity in the 2.4 GHz spectrum. It helps to quickly identify interference,
find the quietest channel, and analyze the quality of the signal. The Wi-Spy
2.4x or Wi-Spy DBx will track all the radio activity from WiFi, Cordless Phones,
Microwaves, Zigbee, Radio, Bluetooth, and many more 2.4 GHz devices. Seeing
these devices will help locate and identify possible interference to optimize
your WLAN.
Application Compatibility
iSite interfaces with other applications by supporting a variety of import and
export formats. Measurement data can be merged from several KDDI Office Freedom
or iSite surveys. Reports can be quickly generated and saved for standard
formats such as PDF, DOC, or XLS.
