WiFi Heat map — Heatmap software

A WiFi Heat map ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_map ) can be created with Acrylic Wifi Heatmaps after performing a site survey with a wifi adaptor. Here is a wifi heat map example for a wifi network at a hotel:

Once WiFi analysis have been performed, Acrylic WiFi is able to generate several WiFi heatmap plots for each wifi network:

  • WiFi Rssi Heat Map
  • AP Coverage heatmap
  • WiFi Channel Coverage heatmap
  • Data Rates heatmap
  • Cell Density heatmap
  • Number of AP’s heatmap
  • Channel Overlapping heatmap
  • Detailed Grid map
  • Signal to Noise heatmap (SNR)
  • WiFi Retry Rate heatmap
  • Bandwidth heatmap
  • Latency heatmap
  • Packet Loss
  • WiFi Roaming heatmap

In addition to the wifi heat map generation, Acrylic WiFi automatically calculates each access point location.
