Fluke Networks has announced that it has teamed with Cisco to offer customers AirMagnet Planner for Cisco Small Business.

The solution will help Cisco small business resellers meet the challenges associated with deploying and planning an 802.11 a/b/g/n wireless network and help organisations better address emerging performance challenges associated with the Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) phenomenon.

As the No. 1 Wi-Fi planning solution in the market today, AirMagnet Planner offers predictive modelling to determine the ideal quantity, placement and configuration of Cisco Access Points (APs) for optimal security, performance and compliance. AirMagnet Planner for Cisco Small Business can take into account the wireless properties of more than 10 Cisco Small Business access points and wireless routers, including the newly released WAP121 and WAP321, to accurately design the Cisco Small Business network for maximised coverage and performance.

Fluke Networks program manager Wayne Allen says, “Wireless is a critical business application not only for the enterprise, but also for SMBs. Ensuring these networks perform at the highest levels possible requires accurate planning and deployment. Fluke Networks AirMagnet Planner is the de facto solution for wireless network planning and we’re excited to join forces with another market leader to offer the solution to SMB customers.”
