Hi all, need help we are looking to do professional site surveys heard & read all the info on the web sites etc, need to know if anyone out in the big world has experience of these & in particular the Airdefense one because it does 3D mapping

Any advice is welcome

If you are referring to manual site surveys, the best out there are:

AirMagnet Survey

AirDefense Mobile

Network Chemistry RFprotect Mobile or Survey
http://www.networkchemistry.com/products/rfperformsurvey.php
Mobile includes Survey, but you can buy Survey as a stand-alone product.

Ekahau Site Survey

BV Systems Yellowjacket with Hive Software

Helium Networks Wireless Recon

These are not listed in any particular order.

Hi Ian,

I would like to say that these Analyzers will be of help to your concern
in doing professional sitesurveys if some one has very good knowledge in Wlan Analysis.

As devin suggested go for a Manual site survey with any of the coolest
Protocol Analyzers

Few vendors like

Strixsystems,Firetide,Aruba have their own sitesurvey tools,which would
give you the inventory of a location once you input the floor plan,Specify the No of users ,Obstacles and the throughput required .

Going by the results given by these sitesurvey tools is not fruitful sometimes.
