Ekahau Connect Bundle

Accuracy is critical to Wi-Fi design

The Sidekick's accuracy allows you to identify the signal correctly the first time and ensure you get the right number of APs in the right place for your design. Relying on a Wi-Fi adapter or dongle means high variance and high risk, which can significantly increase costs and reduce the effectiveness of your network. Get the right tool for the job with Sidekick.

With a built-in all-day battery and hands-free design, Sidekick makes you more mobile by turning your smartphone or tablet into a powerful Wi-Fi tool

Professional WLAN equipment that anyone can use.

Ekahau Connect™ enables you and your team to design, optimise and troubleshoot any WLAN network faster and easier than ever before. Get accurate and actionable results with the complete suite of Ekahau WLAN tools.
All the essential WLAN tools for your WLAN kit are included with Connect:

Hours of uninterrupted surveying

When used in conjunction with the Ekahau Sidekick*, which has an 8-hour battery, you can survey for longer without having to recharge.

Fewer site visits and more remote collaboration

Ekahau Survey automatically saves your Wi-Fi site survey data and allows you to quickly share your survey results with experts for advanced analysis, troubleshooting and detailed reporting.

Ekahau Analyzer

Clear pass/fail indication

Ekahau Analyzer automatically validates the health of your Wi-Fi network by testing it against predefined requirements and displaying the results with clear and easy-to-understand pass/fail indications. Get instant diagnostics for:

• Signal strength
  Provides details of the Wi-Fi network with display of the primary signal level and the secondary signal for redundancy and roaming purposes.
• Signal-to-noise ratio
  SNR (Signal-Noise-Ratio) shows the quality of the network signal, which directly affects the achievable data rates and the performance of various clients and applications in your network.
• Channel quality
  Determines which channels in your wireless network are overloaded and causing interference.
• Connectivity analysis
  Actively tests your network with your mobile device to monitor roaming behaviour and check that your network has sufficient overlap.
• Automatic test in less than 60 seconds
  Now you can start validating and troubleshooting your wireless network in less than 60 seconds. With the easy-to-use touchscreen interface and advanced spectrum analysis features, you can troubleshoot the most common network problems quickly, on the go and at your convenience.
• Fast, high-resolution Spectrum Analyzer App
  Spectrum View uses the high-resolution spectrum analyser in the Ekahau Sidekick* to display RF interference in real time. This gives you a clear overview of your network and allows you to troubleshoot problems faster.

Ekahau Capture

Easy-to-use packet capture tool for advanced troubleshooting and in-depth analysis.

• Advanced troubleshooting
  Easily capture the data you need for advanced troubleshooting and in-depth analysis of hard-to-diagnose Wi-Fi problems.
• Sidekick*-capable
  Ekahau Capture allows anyone to quickly capture Wi-Fi packets with the Ekahau Sidekick*.
• No additional equipment
  You no longer need to invest in special and expensive equipment or resort to complex and unreliable methods to perform packet capture.

Capture to optimise the performance of Wi-Fi networks.

Capture the causes of high channel utilisation and calculate WLAN traffic statistics such as repetition rates, average data rates and frame type distribution.

Keep your network secure

Capture security threats such as misconfigured Wi-Fi security settings, exposed network or user information, unencrypted traffic and denial-of-service (DoS) attacks.

Two are more than one

Use both Wi-Fi radios in the Ekahau Sidekick* to capture on two Wi-Fi channels simultaneously and ensure that no packets are missed when devices move between two access points. Or you can capture on 2.4 and 5 GHz simultaneously.

Compatible with Sidekick* or third-party tools.

Ekahau Capture stores packets in the industry standard .pcap format. Use the Sidekick* All-in-One Wi-Fi Diagnostic Tool included with Connect or another packet analyser (sold separately) to troubleshoot connectivity issues, roaming problems, garbled audio, dropped calls and Wi-Fi driver problems.
