WildPackets announced Omnipliance WiFi, a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) analysis appliance to monitor, analyze, and troubleshoot distributed, multi-gigabit 802.11ac network traffic. With the release WLAN administrators are now able to identify and solve network access, capacity, security, and performance problems as they occur, without ever leaving their desks.

With organizations rapidly transitioning to the 802.11ac wireless standard, wireless network data rates now easily exceed one gigabit per second (Gbps), and have been recorded maxing out at nearly seven gigabits per second. These speeds exceed the capabilities of the 433 Mbps capture-rate of traditional USB-based adapters for laptops that network engineers have been relying on for years to monitor and troubleshoot WLANs.

Once enterprises deploy 802.11ac, they need a new solution for analyzing Gigabit-speed WLANs—WLANs that are carrying critical business traffic including Voice over Wi-Fi (VoFi) traffic - and supporting the myriad BYOD devices prevalent on today’s business networks. Omnipliance WiFi provides the multi-Gigabit data capture, 24/7 enterprise-wide coverage, and time-saving analytics that enterprises need to properly manage their 802.11ac networks.

Omnipliance WiFi captures data directly from deployed access points, enabling real-time and forensic analysis to the most advanced WLAN traffic, including 4-stream 802.11ac traffic. Network engineers can troubleshoot and resolve problems immediately without the need for time-consuming on-site visits to WLAN locations. The solution supports round-the-clock analysis of all WLANs across the enterprise, and even allows engineers to review and troubleshoot intermittent problems that have occurred hours or days earlier.

"Wireless network forensics is rapidly becoming a must-have solution for enterprises," said Jay Botelho, Director of Product Management, WildPackets. "With detailed, real-time recording of network and user activity, Omnipliance WiFi gives network analysts all the data they need to troubleshoot instantly, enabling 24x7 enterprise-wide wireless infrastructure management at substantially lower costs and significantly improved mean time to resolution of wireless issues."

WildPackets Omnipliance WiFi will be available in November.
