The new Ekahau Analyzer + Speedtest integration!
Introducing a game-changing new integration in the world of Wi-Fi network diagnostics, Ekahau Analyzer joins forces with Speedtest, the world's leading Internet performance testing tool, to offer the most advanced and accurate Wi-Fi troubleshooting solution.
Ekahau Analyzer + Speedtest: Accurate Data and Immediate Action
The Ekahau Analyzer has been one of the most powerful tools for diagnosing Wi-Fi network problems, providing detailed data on network health. With the ability to measure signal strength, channel interference, noise levels and full packet transmission, it allows you to get a clear picture of how the network is performing.
However, just capturing accurate data is not enough. The real magic happens when that data is turned into actionable solutions, and this is where the new Speedtest integration comes in. You can now perform network performance tests directly from Ekahau Analyzer, merging the accuracy of Wi-Fi analysis with the world's most reliable speed tests.
Why Speedtest?
Speedtest, trusted by more than 11 million users daily, is the global standard in Internet speed testing, with billions of measurements performed. Its integration in Ekahau Analyzer will allow you to perform speed tests without leaving the application, making it easy to diagnose your network performance in real time.
No matter if you are a network amateur or an expert, you will now be able to see how interference, congestion or misconfiguration problems directly affect network speed. With the push of a button, you can run the speed test and see in real time the impact of any adjustments you make to your network.
Real-time diagnostics: Data at your fingertips
Once you start Speedtest from Ekahau Analyzer, you will get a detailed view of the Wi-Fi spectrum. You will be able to observe bandwidth utilization, interference, airtime usage and network congestion as the speed test runs. All of this information is essential for a thorough understanding of network performance.
At the end of the test, you will see how the network is performing from the inside. For example, you may discover that your Wi-Fi is excellent, but speed is being limited by a bottleneck in the backbone. This integration provides all the tools you need to diagnose and resolve network problems quickly.
Beyond speed: The quality of the experience is what really matters
While speed is a key factor, we know that performance is not everything. The quality of the user experience is what really defines whether a Wi-Fi network is good or not. That's why the next big thing is the integration of beta testing for video content, which will allow us to evaluate network performance under more demanding conditions, such as video calls or HD streaming.
These video tests will help diagnose problems that may affect transmission quality, such as latency, dropped packets, buffering and data rate stability. All of these will be automatically measured and analyzed within Ekahau Analyzer, giving a clear picture of what is really happening with the user experience.
Coming soon: Drop detector and more tools for advanced diagnostics
As part of this integration, it is also planned to introduce the drop detector within Ekahau Analyzer. On many occasions, the problem is not in the Wi-Fi network, but in the services you are trying to access. With this feature, you will be able to quickly identify if a service is down or if the problem really comes from the network, simplifying the troubleshooting process.
The union of Ekahau Analyzer and Speedtest marks a before and after in Wi-Fi network diagnostics. Obtaining accurate data, performing speed tests in real time and having an in-depth view of network performance from a single platform.
The integration of Speedtest within Ekahau Analyzer will be available and you will be able to start enjoying its benefits. As for video testing and the drop detector, they will be available early next year, so stay tuned for updates!
This is just the beginning of Ekahau's mission: to provide the most advanced tools to optimize your networks to the fullest - we can't wait for you to experience the difference!
