Covera Zone is a Wi-Fi network site survey and coverage mapping software. Designed to maximize productivity, Covera Zone allows network engineers to easily collect radio and IP performance parameters in order to visualize 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN range.
Do I need it ?
802.11 Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) is quickly becoming the technology of choice
for enterprise and public wireless networks. However, WLANs are difficult
to capture by their very nature that brings up new challenges for network
engineers and administrators. Not only the electromagnetic waves that
carry data are invisible to the human eye but they also do not stop at
walls, propagate in intricate patterns influenced by many environment
parameters, making prediction of such a basic quality metrics as the coverage
zone extremely difficult in real world environments. Covera Zone was specifically
desgined to map WLAN coverage.
How does it work ?
Covera Zone works from data collected during a site survey. You just
walk in and around and take measurement points. All you need for this
is a laptop computer or tablet PC with a Wifi interface. For each point,
Covera Zone enables you to easily collect all the information about the
wireless network with a single click. After the survey, Covera Zone allows
you to plot different views of this data and to look at the quality of
the wireless coverage in a visual and intuitive way. Covera Zone plots
color maps and produces professional looking reports to document your
actual Wifi coverage. You may have a look at screenshots here.
Who uses it and why?
Corporate Wireless LAN deployements
Wireless LAN is becoming a critical part of a corporate IT infrastructure.
Covera Zone enables corporate network administrators and system
integrators to validate wireless LAN deployments and ensure that
the appropriate quality of service is delivered to the wireless network
users.
Administrators running private networks face a new security challenge
as their wireless network may be reachable from outside company controlled
premises. Covera Zone helps them to visually assess this risk with coverage
maps.
