Anyone recommend a good software for heat mapping and AP placement

Also, we currently have MR56, would it be benficable to upgrade to MR57 if we decide to deploy new AP's

Ekahau, but It's very expensive or Yagna https://www.yagnaiq.com/solutions/wifi-planner/

Ekhau is more or less the industry standard. But as @alessandrodematos mentioned, it is expensive and does generally require some training on how best to use it

@Abdulaziz Loonat This is why many companies contract-in wireless site surveys to a Cisco partner, who can afford the right tech and have the appropriate experience - cos they are using it for many customer, frequently. Remember that a site survey is more of a tested design operation, so experience is really important; the tool, by itself, won't give you all the answers.

Ekahau the whole bundle costs about 10k for the sidekick, cloud subscription and the AI pro software.

So I guess if you only need the software for predictive modelling you probably get away with some 4k?

It is the best software out here though.

You can even use existing measurements and change the AP type to see if you would just replace exising ap positions what the signal would be with the new model.

Hi Axl,

We at Hamina make a fully Meraki-supported, Meraki-integrated SW for this. Hit me up if you'd like to discuss.

It's also on the Meraki Marketplace: https://apps.meraki.io/en-US/apps/410018/hamina-network-planner
