Collect Survey Data & Basic Workflow
Introduction to starting a new survey and collecting data points.
VisiWave Site Survey
Visualize Your Wireless Network™
Easily perform professional wireless site surveys. Analyze your WiFi network, create coverage heatmaps, see coverage voids, view channel usage/overlap, and more.
See what’s really happening in your Wi-Fi network
WiFi wireless networks are everywhere. They are a critical component of most business infrastructures. They need to be examined, explained, and held accountable. VisiWave Site Survey is the software tool that shows you what's going on inside your wireless network. VisiWave provides advanced data collection and visualization capabilities that form a complete wireless LAN site survey solution that allows you to visualize the radio waves and demonstrate the effectiveness of your Wi-Fi coverage.
Coverage validation
Prove whether coverage meets expectations across the survey area.
Interference awareness
Reveal competing networks and noise sources impacting performance.
Clear visuals
Communicate issues visually with heatmaps and view-specific insights.
Before/after comparisons
Document improvements after AP moves, power changes, or channel plans.
Rogue AP discovery
Detect unexpected APs and find their location in the survey space.
Leakage checks
Identify signals that extend beyond their desired borders.
Simple and Fast Data Collection
- You can collect data using your own wireless adapter right after install
- The majority of the survey data is collected in continuous segments as you walk through the survey area
- For tight spaces, collect data one point at a time
- And for outdoor surveys, use GPS positioning
Excellent Survey Reports
For analysis, VisiWave hands you everything you want to know about your WiFi data. No sifting through mountains of confusing data or doing tedious labor.
- Experts to Novices: Quickly create meaningful, professional reports. Even if you are a novice.
- Speed: Field techs spend less time wrestling with lists and more time solving coverage problems.
- Clarity: Visual, context-aware analytics eliminate being overwhelmed by too much data.
- Scalability: Whether you’re handling one floor or an entire campus, the same lightweight interface puts what is important front and center.
Why VisiWave Reports Are Better
Map-First Interaction
Lengthy lists of radios, APs, or data points were replaced with on-map visuals.
See how it works
By leveraging proprietary algorithms that interpret radio signal strengths and other metadata from the collected data, VisiWave provides:
- Automatic AP Clustering:
Radios are grouped into access points and accurately located on the floorplan. - AP Classification:
Each AP is tagged as Local, Different-Floor, or External. The result is a clean, intuitive view of a Wi-Fi network that is immediately understandable by a network technician.
Interactive Wi-Fi Probe
Hover anywhere on the map to see signal strength graphically linked to the
source AP, see channel/data-rate details, view primary/secondary/tertiary APs,
and show co-channel-interference (CCI) levels along with the source of the
conflict--all visualized with dynamic graphics and overlays.
Visual Overlays
From coverage heatmaps to CCI contours and channel-usage views, the modern UI
delivers intuitive color-coded visuals to easily pinpoint problem areas and
detail your Wi-Fi network.
