Summit WMScanner Overview
®
Summit
WMScanner is a software package that enables you to efficiently measure and visualize
802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n network performance. The software utilizes a floor plan map and
a special network driver adapter to allow you to measure, visualize, and archive vital wireless network
information. The powerful visualizations allow you to identify network problems and rogue access
points site-specifically on the map. Not only can you use this software to capture data for post analysis,
but you can also troubleshoot network problems in the field. The data you collect may be saved as a
record of network installation verification or network performance at a given point in time.
