Cisco Aironet 1800S Series Network Sensor

With the Aironet Active Sensor, your IT department can simulate real-world client experiences to validate wireless performance for critical venues and high-value locations such as conference halls and meeting rooms. A scheduled test by the sensor helps ensure that your network can handle an influx of VIP clients, allowing them to have a smooth wireless experience free of drops and lag time.

How does this device achieve this? Thanks to Cisco AirProbe, the Aironet Active Sensor can proactively test and accurately predict the user’s experience. This means that your wireless network won’t be caught short when an increased number of devices connect. You’ll already know how much bandwidth is available immediately before the event, allowing you to adjust accordingly.

Not only does the Active Sensor brilliantly simulate and predict wireless performance, but it’s also the perfect device for ensuring that your network is running at its fullest potential. Using the Active Sensor, you can test your network with proactive monitoring capabilities, which allows you to identify potential issues before it’s too late.

Only Cisco can provide high-fidelity insight at the ground level. The Active Sensor can be plugged in anywhere. Other sensor products are often installed at ceiling level, sometimes providing IT with a less-than-accurate network assessment, as most clients are at eye level. When installed at the level where most mobile devices are likely to be, the Active Sensor allows for a better understanding and a more comprehensive simulation of real clients.
