Organizations just starting out with wireless LANs are often impressed by how well WLANs work right out of the box. But as wireless networks grow, and as users sneak low-cost rogue wireless devices into the workplace, the potential for problems increases rapidly. Without good analysis tools, you're running blind. AirMagnet recognizes this need and has delivered a toolset that gets the job done. Although not as sophisticated as a true protocol analyzer, AirMagnet gives IT managers a high-level view of the health of their wireless networks, providing alerts and alarms for a range of performance and security problems. AirMagnet won't help you fire the guy who installed rogue wireless access or stop the war-driver trying to break into your network, but at least it will help you understand the problems they're causing.
