DESCRIPTION

Omnipliance WiFi, the only WLAN analysis solution to enable monitoring, analysis, and troubleshooting of distributed, multi-gigabit 802.11ac traffic. The latest release allows WLAN administrators to identify and solve network access, capacity, security, and performance problems as they occur, without ever leaving their desks. With organizations rapidly transitioning to the 802.11ac wireless standard, wireless network data rates now easily exceed one gigabit per second (Gbps), and have been recorded maxing out at nearly seven gigabits per second. These speeds exceed the capabilities of the 433 Mbps capture-rate of traditional USB-based adapters for laptops that network engineers have been relying on for years to monitor and troubleshoot WLANs. Join us for this short, 30-minute webinar where Jay Botelho, Director of Product Management, will give an intro to the new Omnipliance Wifi.

Enterprise Wi-Fi Today

• WLANs are everywhere‒ Lots of AP’s‒ Lots of physical distance to

cover

• WLAN troubleshooting requires a point-of-presence

How Omnipliance WiFi Works

1. Using the WLAN controller UI, put the desired APs in “sniffer” mode, and direct the packets to Omnipliance WiFi – packets start flowing

2. Using OmniPeek, connect to Omnipliance WiFi and configure your Remote Adapter capture

3. Start the capture – analysis (and storage) of all packets from the APs begin immediately
