  • 1.  Site Survey Tools

    I pulled down and read all of the Aruba documentation on performing site surveys. Unfortunately, the tool used is the offline version of Visual RF Plan which is no longer available. I know it is accessible via AirWave but that at first glance does not appear useful in the whole "walk around with a laptop" for planning/AP placement purposes as described in the documents I pulled down from Aruba. Especially in a currently non Aruba wireless environment.

    Is there a replacement tool and/or updated documentation? If what's online is not valid it should be at least updated to remove reference to the tool or eliminated all together.

    What is the current procedure?

    The offline tool was a predictive tool to provide predictive coverage and was a Windows version of the RF planning tool that is also in Airwave.  It was never a walk around with a laptop tool.

    I guess I have to ask what is your need with a site survey tool?  Do you need to do deployment planning, or do you need to do a post deployment survey?
