iBwave Wi-Fi Mobile
Montreal, Quebec, Canada
What it is
iBwave Wi-Fi Mobile is an Android app for collecting Wi-Fi survey measurements, documenting sites, starting network designs, and validating them on site. Active surveys check throughput, while passive walk surveys measure signal levels; measurements save automatically as users work. Surveyors can attach photos, videos, audio notes, and annotations to geo-located pins on a floor plan. Design tools include floor plan sketching, automatic or manual access point placement, cable routing, and on-site predictions for RSSI, capacity, throughput, SNR, and overlap zones. Projects and related results and media can be stored and shared through iBwave Cloud, which includes 10 GB of storage. Mobile survey data and preliminary designs can continue in iBwave Private Networks (Wi-Fi) on PC. The app can produce a customer close-out package, viewable in the read-only iBwave Viewer. The listed subscription costs $215 a month for 30 days per license and includes a 15-day trial. Android 8 or higher is listed; Android 9 scanning limits may make survey features unusable.
