WifiMETRIX — Low-cost, Handheld, DFS Tester and Dual-band, Wi-Fi Channel Analyzer
The Tool Of Choice For DFS Testing, Troubleshooting Wi-Fi Networks And Selecting The Best Channel -- Only $395 USD
WifiMETRIX is a new type of diagnostic tool that uses a 6 GHz radio module to simulate radar pulses and a dual-band Wi-Fi chip to monitor and troubleshoot Wi-Fi networks. It implements three important features -- DFS testing (patent pending), AirHORN and WifiPROBE (patented). The 6 GHz radio module has been programmed to simulate radar patterns (DFS testing), and the built-in Wi-Fi chip can perform both signal generation (AirHORN) and throughput diagnostics (WifiPROBE) on each channel.
The DFS Testing function employs a 6 GHz radio module, amplifier and filters -- it performs as an RF signal generator that simulates radar signal patterns. When an AP that is currently configured to use a DFS channel detects a radar signal it is then required to jump to another channel. Validation of an AP's ability to detect and respond to radar events is the primary goal of WifiMETRIX's DFS testing feature.
The AirHORN function is an RF signal / channel generator that transmits stable and accurate RF signals for each of the Wi-Fi channels, and aids in testing Wi-Fi antennas, RF shields and wireless networks.
The WifiPROBE function traverses each channel and measures the available transmit time. When the goal is to choose the best channel -- the one with the highest available throughput -- then WifiPROBE is the tool of choice.
WifiMETRIX operates in stand-alone mode and does not need to associate with an access point in order to perform its functions. It is a unique (and low-cost) device that is tailored for DFS validation, troubleshooting Wi-Fi problems and computing the best channel. The underlying IMMI Technology used by WifiPROBE is patented and the DFS Tester functionality is currently patent-pending.
The price of WifiMETRIX is only $395 USD.
