Wireless Technologies
As with many emerging IT technologies, the proliferation of wireless brings new administrative challenges:

   • You should complete site surveys before deploying access points (APs)
     or locating stations.
   • After installation, you'll need to maintain accessibility and monitor signal strength for
     legitimate users, while keeping unauthorized users and rogue APs off the network.
   • As the number and types of wireless stations grows, tracking long-term trends
     helps prevent wireless bottlenecks and channel interference problems. 

Network Instruments helps you to resolve these administrative headaches by integrating wireless support throughout its entire line of Observer protocol analyzers: Observer, Expert Observer, and Observer Suite, as well as our hardware ~ Wireless Tablet, Gigabit and WAN Observer products. We offer analyzers that meet every need and budget, and they all support both wired and wireless analysis.

Observer's flexible and powerful analysis tools installed on a wireless PC will let you:

   • Capture and decode wireless and wired traffic on your network.
   • Monitor the health and security of your wireless LAN with several
     wireless-specific features, such as access point statistics, signal strength
     and quality, Wireless CRC errors, rogue access points, and unauthorized
     adhoc traffic, to name a few.
   • Setup automatic notifications that will email or page you if errors exceed a
     configurable threshold, or if a rogue access point is detected.
   • Unlike other protocol analyzers, Observer lets you switch between protocol
     analysis and standard wireless network operation without having to install
     separate drivers.
   • Save different wireless network setups in re-usable profiles, allowing you to
     use the analyzer at different sites with different A/P SSIDs and WEP keys.
