WLAN - wireless local area network analyzer analyzer /ana·ly·zer/ (an´ah-li?zer) 1. a Nicol prism attached to a polarizing apparatus which extinguishes the ray of light polarized by the polarizer. 2. and troubleshooting tool now provides full visibility into 802.11n networks SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- AirMagnet Inc., the award-winning leader in wireless network assurance solutions, today announced a new version of Laptop Analyzer that natively decodes and analyzes 802.11n Wi-Fi networks See wireless Ethernet and 802.11. . The new 7.5 version of Laptop Analyzer, available next month, provides instant visibility into all wireless channels, devices, conversations, speeds, interference issues and the RF spectrum, making it the standard for pre-deployment planning and post-deployment management of 802.11n Wi-Fi networks. "Laptop Analyzer is already the premier tool for pin-pointing and solving wireless network problems associated with 802.11a/b/g standards. As organizations begin to integrate 802.11n compliant devices into their network they need a tool capable of detecting this new equipment, as well as troubleshooting compatibility issues that might impact performance," said Dean Au, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of AirMagnet. "Laptop Analyzer 7.5 is the premier WLAN analysis and troubleshooting product capable of natively recognizing, decoding de·code tr.v. de·cod·ed, de·cod·ing, de·codes 1. To convert from code into plain text. 2. To convert from a scrambled electronic signal into an interpretable one. 3. traffic and managing 802.11n devices, which enables businesses to take advantage of the higher throughput and greater range associated with this standard." Laptop Analyzer is the industry's premier mobile field tool for troubleshooting enterprise Wi-Fi networks. It helps IT administrators quickly resolve performance problems while automatically detecting security threats and other network vulnerabilities. In addition, the product offers live, interactive network tests, continual Wi-Fi interference analysis, and detailed packet and frame analysis. Furthermore, with Laptop Analyzer, organizations can set detailed lockdown Lockdown A specified period when an employee of a public company is barred from selling - and occasionally buying - their company's stock. Notes: These types of equity transaction restrictions can be imposed by securities regulators or underwriting firms if a company has security policies, access the integrated AirWISE[R] Expert database for detailed alarm explanations, and easily generate a variety of compliance reports. New Laptop Analyzer Features * Identifies and classifies all 802.11n capable devices in the network (including differentiating between standards-compliant and pre-standard 802.11n devices). * Detects hundreds of security and performance threats, attack tools and strategies - including detecting, identifying and physically locating 802.11n rogue Rogue, river, c.200 mi (320 km) long, rising in SW Oreg., in the Cascade Range N of Crater Lake. It flows southwest and west through a fertile valley (noted for its orchard fruits) and then across the Coast Range to the Pacific Ocean at Gold Beach. devices operating in the environment (which are often invisible to non-802.11n analyzers). * Classifies and decodes Non-HT (legacy), HT mixed format and HT greenfield Greenfield, town (1990 pop. 18,666), seat of Franklin co., NW Mass., at the confluence of the Deerfield and Green rivers, near their junction with the Connecticut; settled 1686, set off from Deerfield and inc. 1753. format traffic. * Supported monitoring for 20 MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. and 40 MHz channels. * Detects and classifies the higher data rates used by 802.11n devices. * Identifies backward compatibility See backward compatible.
