The AirCheck tester is a portable, single-user solution for engineers and technicians who need quick and effective visibility into Wi-Fi networks. Its intuitive interface allows users to easily check and troubleshoot availability, connectivity, channel usage, and security configurations of 802.11 a/b/g/n networks. With AirCheck, users can identify coverage and connectivity problems, locate vulnerable or unauthorized access points, detect overloaded channels and networks, find interference, and validate security settings.
“Companies are increasingly relying on Wi-Fi networks; however, many still perceive them as less reliable than traditional networks,” said Arif Kareem, president of Fluke Networks. “This is partly because time-constrained IT staff lack the necessary training or tools to monitor and troubleshoot network issues. AirCheck addresses this problem by providing a simple, affordable, and portable tool that gives IT staff complete WLAN visibility across all Wi-Fi networks.”.
The new AirCheck Wi-Fi tester is faster, easier to use, and more portable than any other Wi-Fi tool on the market, making it ideal for everyday use by network service technicians, regardless of their level of training and experience in WLAN networks. Powering up in just three seconds, AirCheck automatically begins detecting active networks, access points, and channels. With a five-hour battery life, this tester is ideal for one-handed operation, as most functions require only the press of one or two buttons. Test sessions can be saved with the touch of a button and then downloaded via USB to a PC for generating or archiving reports using the AirCheck Manager software. These features, particularly valuable for quickly troubleshooting or escalating issues to more qualified technicians, provide comprehensive access to all data captured during an AirCheck Wi-Fi tester session, saving both time and resources.
Its intuitive interface is integrated into a 2.8-inch color LCD screen, which can be navigated using a simple menu system with just five buttons. The tester measures 89 x 198 x 48 mm and weighs only 0.4 kg. The AirCheck Manager software, supplied with the unit and running on a personal computer, manages AirCheck profiles and the information collected by multiple AirCheck testers. This software can help IT support staff resolve issues more efficiently or document them for referral to more qualified technicians.
