NetScout releases next gen AirCheck wireless tester

The NetScout AirCheck G2 wireless tester is designed to enable front-line IT to quickly and easily identify issues responsible for variable connections, locating rogue access points, dead zones, slow speeds and unauthorised devices.

This functionality is ideal to support installation and troubleshooting of IoT wireless edge infrastructure for applications, such as the testing of the wireless infrastructure that supports patient monitoring for healthcare, industrial IoT, personalised and immersive experiences for retail, smart buildings and smart homes. Netscout claims that it provides technicians with “a broader range of detailed insights into the wireless network than is currently available using freeware applications or other commercially available software packages”.

The AirCheck G2 comes with free access to a Link-Live Cloud Service, a centralised management, collaboration and archival workspace for network connectivity test results. Link-Live provides greater job visibility, project control and fleet management for larger distributed environments and also works with the LinkSprinter and LinkRunner AT.
