WiFi Monitoring Tools For Enterprise Networks

Several factors can impact the performance of wireless networks. Physical obstructions, such as walls and furniture, can weaken signals. Electronic devices or neighboring networks can cause interference. Outdated hardware may also degrade network performance. Insufficient bandwidth can lead to congestion when too many devices are connected. Lastly, software-related issues, like firmware bugs or poorly optimized applications, can further contribute to performance problems.

Network management software and traditional wireless network monitoring tools typically gather data such as the number of connected devices from wireless access points and controllers. However, they often fall short in diagnosing client issues. These tools lack visibility into client-side performance, real-time diagnostics, and end-user experience.

When wireless performance issues occur, network engineers need comprehensive insights into the client’s connection, including WiFi signal strength and quality, as well as visibility into the wired infrastructure, Internet connection, or the application involved.

NetBeez is a WiFi monitoring tool that collects real-time WiFi network connectivity and performance data, such as signal strength, connection speed, etc. enabling faster root cause analysis than traditional WiFi monitoring software.

Deploy WiFi network monitor sensors at remote offices

Understand your end users' experience and connection speed on WiFi networks, deploy WiFi network monitor sensors at remote offices to supervise service availability and performance.

NetBeez wireless monitoring sensors are equipped with WiFi 6/6E cards. The units can be powered via Power-over-Ethernet or Power Supply Unit. The performance data is sent in real-time to the dashboard for display and troubleshooting.
