TamoGraph Site Survey is an application for performing Wi-Fi site surveys and RF planning. It supports 802.11ax, 802.11ac, 802.11n, 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g wireless networks. TamoGraph is developed by TamoSoft, a privately held New Zealand company founded in 1998[1] that specializes in network analysis software.[2][3][4]

Functionality

TamoGraph is used for measuring and visualizing such WLAN characteristics[5] as signal strength, signal-to-noise ratio, signal-to-interference ratio, TCP and UDP throughput rates, access point vendor, encryption type,[citation needed] etc.[6] Visualizations are overlaid on floor plans[7] or, in case of outdoor surveys, on site maps that can be imported from one of the online map services. Data is collected by a portable computer using a compatible Wi-Fi adapter.[8][unreliable source?]

When performing planning of Wi-Fi networks, the tool can be used for creating a virtual model of a future network, where walls and other obstructions are drawn using different material types (drywall, glass, brick, etc.).[9] The tool will then calculate the approximate locations of where the access points should be located. At the post-deployment stage, TamoGraph is used to validate the deployed wireless network, as well as to measure interference from both Wi-Fi and non-Wi-Fi sources with the help of Wi-Spy, a USB-based spectrum analyzer.[9]

Features

  • Passive,[10] active and simultaneous passive/active survey modes.
  • RF modeling.[11][12]
  • Automatic access point location[10]
  • Automatic virtual access point placement and capacity planning in predictive models.
  • Detailed information about access points:[7] channel, supported rates, encryption, etc.
  • Support for outdoor surveys using GPS[10]
  • Spectrum analysis [13]
  • Customizable reporting in PDF, Microsoft Word, and HTML formats[7][10]
