Ekahau Survey
Professional Wi-Fi site surveys anyone can do. Conduct unlimited health check and validation surveys with just the Sidekick 2 and iOS or Android device of your choice.
The Easiest, Most Accurate Validation and Health Check Site Surveys
Connected to Sidekick 2, the Ekahau Survey mobile app provides the most intuitive, accurate and enjoyable way to survey wireless networks. The ease of use of Just Go Survey together with the instant optimization action plans automatically generated by Ekahau Optimizer put an end to poor-performing networks and make awesome Wi-Fi not only attainable, but easy for anyone to manage.
5 Intuitive Survey Modes for Any Situation
Collect accurate Wi-Fi data at the client level with just the Sidekick 2 and your phone or tablet. Ekahau Survey is up to 90% lighter and is way faster than using a laptop.
Forget floor plan prep and manually tracking your location. Simply take your Sidekick for a walk around your network and watch as your floor plan sketch and Wi-Fi data get captured automatically. Just Go Surveys are accurate, fast, and hassle free.
Autopilot survey mode automatically tracks your location on your uploaded floorplan map while continuously collecting survey data at every step. This mode is easy, hands-free, and perfect when you have a floorplan to work from.
Continuous surveys collect data at every step along the path marked by the surveyor. Just tap your location on the floorplan anytime you start, stop, or turn to capture a new line segment. Continuous surveys are a great alternative for devices that don’t support Autopilot mode.
Stop & Go allows the surveyor to collect data limited to certain areas. Click your location on the floorplan and wait as the data is collected before moving to a new location.
This survey mode is extremely valuable in outdoor areas or vast open spaces where there are limited landmarks available for orientation. Available for devices with GPS radios.
Add Survey Notes and Document with Photo Evidence
Use the camera built into your iPhone or iPad to take photos of installed APs to include in your reports or to document obstacles or potential issues while you survey. Take notes on the go so you never miss a detail whether validating a new network or performing ongoing health checks.
Hours of Uninterrupted Surveying
Paired with Ekahau Sidekick 2, which houses an all-day dedicated rechargeable battery, you can keep surveying longer without needing to recharge.
