Ekahau AI Pro | AI Auto-Planner Feature Overview
Science & Technology
Introduction
In this article, we will explore the AI Auto-Planner feature of Ekahau AI Pro, a powerful tool for designing wireless networks in buildings efficiently. The process involves defining requirement areas, selecting access point models, optimizing channel configurations, and analyzing the results. Let's delve into how the AI Auto-Planner works and its capabilities in creating optimal wireless network plans.
To start the AI Auto-Planner, users can access it from the Actions menu and select their desired access point model, such as the Meraki MR57 for a six gigahertz capable network. Before initiating the planning process, advanced options are available to customize settings like transmit power, antenna height, and network optimization for capacity or mobile devices. The new channel planner algorithm optimizes channel plans for optimal performance.
Once the planning process is initiated, the AI Auto-Planner automatically places access points on all floors, finding optimal locations and channel configurations for different bands (2.4, 5, and 6 gigahertz). After a few minutes, the plan is completed, and users can analyze the results. The summary bar provides an overview of network health and pass rates for each band, showcasing the AI Auto-Planner's efficiency in designing wireless networks.
Inspect mode allows users to delve deeper into the details, checking the distribution of access points per floor and analyzing the pass rates for requirements like signal strength, data rates, and channel interference in different bands. The AI Auto-Planner's quick and accurate results serve as an excellent starting point for wireless network design, saving time and effort in planning intricate networks for multi-floor buildings.
