The Fluke SmartEdge Sensor Series 4 eliminates the need for ethernet cabling and reduces installation costs. The dedicated Wi-Fi network monitoring sensor comprises three internal radios (two 802.11n 3 x 3 MIMO 450 Mbps plus one for dedicated spectrum analysis) and a Wireless Connect feature, extending Wi-Fi security and performance monitoring and providing immediate coverage as the demand for wireless LAN and bring your own device (BYOD) grows.
For installations where an ethernet cable is already available, the sensor can leverage the internal radios for 24/7 security monitoring, scanning and rogue detection, combined with client performance verification via the company’s AirMagnet Enterprise Automated Health Check (AHC) feature. AHC proactively tests and verifies WLAN network health from the end user all the way to the cloud and identifies issues before they impact the organisation.
The SmartEdge sensor has been completely redesigned with a ‘fade-into-the-background’ enclosure, an integrated drop ceiling and ceiling mount and recessed cable entry. The sensor also features increased memory capacity and support for 10/100/1000 Mbps ethernet.
