The NetAlly AM/B4070 AirMagnet Spectrum XT is the first and only professional WiFi spectrum analyzer software solution that combines in-depth radio frequency interference analysis with real-time wireless spectrum analysis for quicker and more accurate troubleshooting of wireless network performance problems. The real-time Wi-Fi spectrum analyzer's combined view of "impact analysis of RF interference" on the network's overall performance helps pin-point the root-cause of those problems.

The AMB4070 AirMagnet Spectrum XT is the ideal real-time Wi-Fi spectrum analyzer software solution for network engineers and installers/integrators for troubleshooting and deployment of wireless LAN networks, and is available in the universal and convenient USB form factor, allowing this Wi-Fi spectrum analyzer software solution to be used on any notebook, netbook or tablet PC.

Automatic Identification and Location of RF Interference Sources

The AM/B4070 AirMagnet Spectrum XT offers real-time detection and identification of a number of non Wi-Fi interference sources that interfere and lower the performance of wireless networks. The extensive device or source list includes bluetooth devices, digital and analog cordless phones, conventional and inverter microwave ovens, wireless game controllers, digital video converter, baby monitors, RF Jammers, radars, motion detectors, zigbee devices and many more.

Wi-Fi spectrum analyzer users are also powered with detailed information for the non Wi-Fi interference source, including peak and average power, first and last seen time, center frequency, impacted channels, number of times the source was detected, and many more. With an additional Bluetooth adapter plugged into the same PC, the AirMagnet Wi-Fi spectrum analyzer provides Bluetooth information such as ID, name, services, etc. for enhanced Bluetooth interferer analysis.

With the AM/B4070 AirMagnet Wi-Fi spectrum analyzer's built-in "device locator tool", users can physically locate any Wi-Fi or non-Wi-Fi interference sources operating in the RF environment. The wireless spectrum analyzer's device locator tool operates as a Geiger counter and beeps louder as users get closer to the location of the device.

Integrated Reporting

AirMagnet Spectrum XT's integrated report engine makes it easy to turn RF spectrum analysis sessions into professional reports. Customization features allow this Wi-Fi spectrum analyzer to generate reports on the RF spectrum graphs, Wi-Fi charts and the list of RF interference sources for the current environment. With the wireless spectrum analyzer, reports can be exported in the Word, RTF, PDF, HTML formats for handoff.

High-resolution RF Spectrum Diagnostic Views

Key graphs and charts include:

Visualize Impact of RF Interference on Wireless Network Performance

To optimize and ensure top wireless network performance, the AirMagnet wireless spectrum analyzer introduces a revolutionary approach to WIRELESS NETWORK TROUBLESHOOTING that combines the power of RF spectrum analysis with WLAN traffic and device analysis. RF spectrum analyzer users can plug in any supported wireless adapter and instantly see a combined or co-related single screen view showing the impact of RF interference or interference sources on the overall true performance of the WLAN.

The AM/B4070 AirMagnet wireless spectrum analyzer also provides a complete inventory of all Wi-Fi devices operating in the environment and their configured settings. RF spectrum analyzer users are entitled to a number of Wi-Fi charts to solve problems faster and more efficiently including:

"Zero-day" response to any RF interferer

Users who own RF spectrum analyzers usually have to depend on the vendor to create default signatures or classifications for the detection and identification of RF interference sources. Timely response to these RF interference sources is critical to environments or enterprise networks to ensure the optimum performance for their WLAN users. Spectrum analyzer vendors themselves, struggle to keep up with the creation and inclusion of every unique RF interference sources within their native classification database that can cause havoc to the WLAN network.

To overcome this hurdle and provide users with a "zero-day" response to any RF interference source, AirMagnet wireless spectrum analyzer introduces the industry's first automated spectrum analysis capability that monitors the RF environment looking for unique and repeating RF interference patterns from these "unknown RF interference sources". Once the RF interference pattern of interest is detected and classified, users have the option of creating a customized signature for the pattern for future alerting. With this wireless spectrum analysis capability, users not only gain independence from the vendor's periodic classification updates, but also have a faster response to troubleshooting performance problems in their network.

Integration with AirMagnet WiFi Analyzer and AirMagnet Survey

AirMagnet WIFI ANALYZER PRO AirMagnet Spectrum XT users running AirMagnet WiFi Analyzer PRO on the same PC can view non-WLAN interference for every channel in the RF spectrum. Simple color indicators point to the level of impact of these RF interference sources on the performance of the WLAN network. This information helps users plan the channel settings for the current and planned WLAN infrastructure.

AirMagnet Survey PRO users running AirMagnet Spectrum XT on the same machine can perform RF spectrum surveys or sweeps at the same time, as a passive or active SITE SURVEY, reducing the walk-around time. Users also get the list of RF interference sources detected by AirMagnet Spectrum XT within AirMagnet Survey.

With this integration, spectrum analyzer users are entitled to unique heatmaps within AirMagnet Survey, for example:

Record and Playback

The AM/B4070 AirMagnet Spectrum XT users can save their RF spectrum analysis scans, retain them as hard evidence and play them back at a later time for post-capture investigation and analysis. The handy 'jump-to' feature allows the user to quickly navigate within a capture file to the start time of any interferers captured during the scan. This is very helpful as critical forensic information while investigating any Layer 1 Denial of Service attacks against the WLAN network. The saved trace files can also be shared between users for collaborative analysis and troubleshooting.

AirMagnet Spectrum XT's Instant Replay feature allows users to review the most recent spectrum analysis information and play it back, as if it were being viewed live for the first time.

AllyCare Support

AllyCare Support is required with the purchase of the AM/B4070 AirMagnet Spectrum XT. It is sold separately and can be bought as either a 1-year or 3-year support option.
