AirMagnet Spectrum XT raises bar for WLAN interference identification and classification
A new Auto Pattern Detection feature automatically highlights unclassified repeating spectrum patterns from non-WLAN Radio Frequency (RF) interference sources. Engineers can then easily create custom signatures for future alerts to identify those sources of interference, reducing the time and cost associated with troubleshooting. AirMagnet Spectrum XT is then able to automatically scan, alert and report on those previously identified interference sources.
“In a recent customer survey, 82 percent tell us they’re encountering WLAN performance problems caused by non-WLAN sources of interference – and 63 percent are not able to identify the source,” said Chia-Chee Kuan, vice president of the Fluke Networks WLAN business unit.
According to a Canalys Enterprise Networking Analysis Study, September 2011, Wi-Fi use is growing 35 percent each year in the U.S. alone — which in turn significantly increases the number of devices that can cause WLAN interference.
