CTS 187: WiFi Monitoring & Assurance with NetBeez (Sponsored)

WiFi Monitoring & Assurance Using NetBeez Wireless networks get blamed a lot for today’s network issues. Any sort of hiccup leads to users creating tickets describing slow or poor performing WiFi. Enterprise organizations rely on WiFi. Central network operations centers must monitor multiple sites and quickly determine what issues may be potentially impacting business operations. It’s more important than ever to carefully monitor your WiFi networks to get ahead of any issues. One way to assure this is by leveraging sensors on the network close to the users. You can check out our CTS public NetBeez dashboard to see what we’ve been working with. Learn more about WiFi monitoring at https://netbeez.net/wireless-monitoring/ Why Use Sensors? When it comes to monitoring the network, we have the wired side of things capturing metrics, creating alerts, and knowing what the problem may be. On the WiFi network it often seems unknown what the issue is. And today, any sort of issue appears to be a WiFi issue. To get an idea of what is happening from a client’s perspective, WiFi sensors can be deployed and configured to perform scheduled tests. A sensor can gather important WiFi metrics such as RSSI, BSSID, transmit and receive rates, and test metrics. Rather than relying on users telling you incorrect data, a sensor can collect enough data for an IT member to take action on. NetBeez calls these sensors Agents.

Request a Demo Three reasons why we like NetBeez WiFi Sensor The sensors are placed near the users to provide you a client’s perspective. A more realistic view of client health will help eliminate false issues. Other sensors are placed inside the access point. Distributed Sensors do not live inside an access point. The sensors can be deployed anywhere & managed from the cloud. With this simple management platform, configuring sensors for multiple sites is easy. Scheduled Tests Within the dashboard, various tests can be assigned and scheduled to all or specific sensors. Overtime, a baseline is developed & spotting deviations will be brought to light by configuring alerts to the team. Panos Vouzis, from NetBeez, joins us in this episode to discuss how they help IT teams get ahead of WiFi issues by being proactive. Panos is the Co-founder and COO at NetBeez. By utilizing WiFi network sensors, an IT team can schedule tests against the WiFi network and be notified immediately when there’s an issue or a deviation from a baseline. The distributed nature of the sensors gives an IT team a holistic health status of the WiFi network. Unlike other monitoring solutions from the big vendors, this view of WiFi health is seen from the client’s perspective. A NetBeez sensor can be deployed near the users and can perform tests to simulate client traffic. WiFi Monitoring
