Partnership with Aruba Networks WildPackets and Aruba have developed a joint solution that integrates OmniPeek and the Aruba Mobility Controller. Through this integration, OmniPeek can perform analysis across multiple channels simultaneously, using access points from an existing Aruba wireless network. "WildPackets' API (Application Programming Interface) A language and message format used by an application program to communicate with the operating system or some other control program such as a database management system (DBMS) or communications protocol. enables Aruba to collect, aggregate, and forward packets from our access points, significantly enhancing how enterprises analyze network data," said Peter Cellarius, head of business and channel development at Aruba Networks. "This allows our customers to use their existing Aruba WLAN See wireless LAN. WLAN - wireless local area network for troubleshooting and traffic analyses without cumbersome overlays, offering better visibility into the network at significantly lower cost than competing solutions." Multi-Channel Analysis (MCA MCA in full Music Corporation of America Entertainment conglomerate. It was founded in Chicago in 1924 by Jules Stein as a talent agency. In the 1960s it bought Decca Records and Universal Pictures, and today it produces films, music, and television shows. ) is different from channel scanning, which only captures data from one channel at a time. With MCA, multiple access points are used as probes, each dedicated to a different channel. This is important for analyzing and troubleshooting highly mobile applications like voice and video, which roam from AP to AP and from channel to channel as users move around. Using MCA, OmniPeek can track wireless devices and measure the amount of time it takes for each to roam, as well as graph roaming averages over time. These are critical metrics for mobile deployments, which up until now have been laborious and time consuming to determine. For more information and pricing, please contact sales@wildpackets.com.
