AirMagnet Receives Network World "Best of the Tests" Award for 2008
AirMagnet Laptop Analyzer honored as top product for wireless management
SUNNYVALE, Calif., Feb 26, 2008 — AirMagnet Inc., the leader in security, performance and compliance solutions for wireless LANs, today announced that AirMagnet Laptop Analyzer has been named "Best of the Tests" by Network World. Each year, Network World looks back on the previous 12 months of testing and selects between 10 and 12 products, from more than 150, as the "Best of the Tests." AirMagnet Laptop Analyzer has received the coveted award in the wireless management category for 2008.
"Network World is a high-profile publication that reviews a large amount of products each year. Being singled out as the Best of the Tests for wireless in 2008 is really a tribute to our fantastic team of wireless professionals," said Chris Roeckl, vice president of marketing at AirMagnet. "This award is also a testament to the usefulness and importance of wireless mobile field solutions, such as Laptop Analyzer, that can ensure a healthy and high performing wireless LAN."
AirMagnet Laptop Analyzer is the industry's most popular mobile field tool for auditing and troubleshooting enterprise Wi-Fi networks. The product proactively diagnoses WLAN problems and helps IT staff quickly identify and solve end user issues while automatically detecting security threats and other wireless network vulnerabilities. The latest version of Laptop Analyzer includes the ability to identify and classify all 802.11n capable devices, detect hundreds of security and performance threats, detect and classify the higher data rates used by 802.11n devices and includes a suite of more than fifteen troubleshooting tools to identify and solve wireless network problems on 802/11a/b/g/n networks.
According to the Clear Choice Test, published in the April 23, 2007, issue of Network World, "In our tests, AirMagnet excelled in two places. First, the user interface allows a great deal of interrelated information to be shown on screen. This big-picture console display lets us watch attacks and get detailed information from several perspectives concurrently. Second, AirMagnet's diagnostic feature is an articulate description of what is being seen.
It continues, "Highly detailed information about alarms and detailed references are shown, so that captured alarm information can be understood by the operator. This lets operators assign priorities, knowing how AirMagnet has judged the traffic it is seeing -- and more important, why it's alarming. This information is invaluable, as the errors found among WLAN protocol analyzers don't often have the same description. As a result, the detective work of determining the seriousness of an error or alarm is more rapidly discerned. The AirMagnet user interface is the antithesis of command-line-interface information."
The Network World "Best of the Tests" is awarded annually to products that have shown excellence and received high Clear Choice Test scores. Each year, there are anywhere from 100 to 150 products tested. The 10 winners for 2007 will be featured in Network World's Best Products 2008 issue available now.
