VIAVI Wi-Fi Advisor

Increasingly, end users depend on Wi-Fi to reliably deliver premium services such as video and IPTV to endpoints throughout their homes. However, the highly dynamic nature of Wi-Fi networks (including spurious interferers, in-channel or channel-overlapping networks added by other parties, and growing numbers of Wi-Fi devices) has a continuous impact on performance and QoE. As a result, 40% of all trouble calls are now WiFi related.

The Wi-Fi Advisor consists of an iPad app and one or more WFED-300AC test devices. It shows a whole-home view of real Wi-Fi performance / throughout margin and can deliver easy-to-understand performance information directly to the end customer.
