AirMagnet Planner
AirMagnet Planner makes it easy to build a detailed model of any WiFi environment. Simply load in a map of your location and simulate wireless performance based on the correct number, placement and configuration of APs. Tweak any number of these settings until you achieve full coverage for end-users while minimising signal bleed into unsecured areas.

AirMagnet Case Study
Without AirMagnet we couldn't keep the show on the road. It really is a great analysis tool because of its easy operation and broad range of features – you really can use it "out of the box"

AirMagnet Planner takes the guess-work out of WLAN design and installation, making it easy for network professionals to accurately plan and deploy 802.11 based wireless networks in any indoor environment. The AirMagnet Planner accounts for building materials, obstructions, access point configurations, antenna patterns, and a host of other variables to provide a reliable predictive map of wi-fi signal and performance.
- Properly size new wireless deployments for any environment or location
- Build detailed indoor RF models based on building materials and environment
- Create WLAN installation plans including all AP deployment and configuration options
- Model any antenna and preview the impact to your WLAN
- Ensure complete RF signal coverage while minimizing signal leak into unsecure areas
- Analyze total predictive co-channel interference for any AP
- Use seamlessly in conjunction with AirMagnet Survey for complete wireless modeling, deployment and optimization
An accurate network plan can be the most critical step of a successful wireless deployment. An unscientific plan can lead to vastly over-spending on network infrastructure or alternatively to underserved and unhappy end-users. The AirMagnet Planner removes the need for guesswork and lets installers determine the correct quantity, placement and configuration of APs required to deliver full coverage for end-users while minimizes signal bleed into unsecured areas. Users can preview the network by channel or SSID ensuring the network conforms to any specification.
wi-fi Tailored to Your EnvironmentAirMagnet Planner makes it easy to build a detailed model of any wireless environment, even before the network is deployed. Simply load in a map of the location, and use the built-in library of walls, doors and windows to precisely match the building's characteristics. The environment can be further customized to account for cubicles, offices, elevators and a variety of warehouse obstructions. All environmental settings are fully customizable and custom materials can be created from scratch to meet your specifications.
Build Your NetworkAirMagnet Planner provides full control of the proposed wireless infrastructure. Users can add APs to any location and experiment to find the ideal AP placement for the environment. Planner also provides full control over all AP settings with independent settings for 11a and 11b/g radios. Users can set the AP channel, IP address, transmit power, antenna type, orientation and height. When the planning session is complete, users can generate a professional report with all the information needed to properly install the network, complete with a list of required APs, their ideal placement and configuration settings.

Custom Antenna DesignAirMagnet Planner includes over 90 of the most popular antennas on the market for customizing your APs. However, the solution also includes a built-in tool to create customized antenna patterns, allowing users to replicate the characteristics of literally any antenna on the market.
Minimize InterferenceA true wi-fi plan requires an intelligent channel plan to ensure that APs in the same area don't overlap or interfere with one another. AirMagnet Planner includes an Overlap feature to show where APs on the same channel overlap above a userdefined threshold. Users can also investigate any AP in detail to plot the total combined interference to a particular access point from all other wi-fi sources.
Broad Map SupportAirMagnet Planner makes it easy to get started designing your network with support for a broad set of map types including BMP, DWG, DIB, DXF, EMF, GIF, JPG, WMF.
Integration with AirMagnet SurveyAirMagnet Planner easily integrates with AirMagnet Survey and Survey PRO, providing a single, seamless application with the industry's most complete approach to wireless LAN design, deployment and ongoing optimization. With AirMagnet Survey, users directly measure real-world RF values and client performance statistics. By using Planner and Survey together, users can continually improve the quality of their wireless models by comparing actual RF loss values against the planned values. Survey PRO users also gain additional planning capabilities with the ability to test network plans against the AirWISE engine and Multi-View which lets users directly compare predicted and actual survey results.
