Las Vegas, Nevada, May 11, 2004 -- TerraWave Solutions and AirMagnet announce that the Cisco Aironet™ 1200 In-Building Site Survey Kit is now available with the optional inclusion of AirMagnet's new Surveyor software. AirMagnet® Surveyor complements the 1200 Site Survey kit by giving system engineers scientifically accurate and geographically driven wireless LAN metrics and maps needed to perform site surveys of any 802.11 a/b/g wireless network. In 2002, Cisco Systems and TerraWave Solutions developed the Cisco Aironet™ Site Survey Kit to give WLAN technicians a professional kit that is easy to transport, access, organize and inventory. The kit has been a valuable tool used to deploy thousands of 802.11 networks across the globe. The kit is designed to provide system engineers with everything needed to perform professional site surveys in one, FAA approved travel case. The addition of AirMagnet Surveyor now creates an unrivaled collection of crucial 802.11 site survey tools and accessories capable of handing Wi-Fi deployments in any environment including hospitality, oil and gas, manufacturing, distribution, healthcare, education, commercial, and military. In addition to robust, visually oriented features, Surveyor supports the new Cisco Aironet 802.11 a/b/g CardBus WLAN adapter and provides one common survey tool for any 802.11 a/b/g network. Currently, Cisco does not offer one site survey utility to support all of its a/b/g client adapters. For this reason, Cisco has incorporated Surveyor into its latest updated version of the Cisco Aironet™ Wireless LAN Site Survey training needed to obtain the new Cisco Wireless LAN Specialist Certification. The integration of the TerraWave and AirMagnet site survey tools combines two vital components to any site survey - the ability to conduct a physical site survey with the kit's original survey tools, and then input collected data into Surveyor resulting in visual and geographical maps of how to design an 802.11 network. Surveyor complements the physical site survey and ensures proper overall signal, determines ideal AP placement and output power, pinpoints areas of interference, identifies client roaming areas, emulates client experience in terms of speed, retry and packet loss and insures adequate bandwidth and speed for any VLAN. "Surveyor is the most robust site survey tool on the market," said Chris Marco, president of TerraWave Solutions." Once again AirMagnet has developed a product that makes it easier for Wi-Fi techs to deploy a more accurate, powerful and secure wireless network." "TerraWave's broad range of Wi-Fi products lets them create uniquely valuable solutions for value-added resellers of Wi-Fi networks," said Dean Au, chief executive officer of AirMagnet. "Wireless professionals will find the Site Survey Kit even more exciting with AirMagnet Surveyor, delivering better results in much less time." Each kit contains access points, adapter cards, several antennas, cables, two site survey battery packs, mounting brackets, attenuator, measuring wheel, duct tape, zip ties, Velcro, colored tape, pens, and mounting location markers. These products are contained in a travel case with custom foam cut outs for each item. The Surveyor software can be optionally ordered and shipped with the 1200 Site Survey Kit. The kit is now available in three main versions: Totally Loaded, Semi-Loaded or TerraWave Components Only.
