Gain better Insight into your Wi-Fi Network
The release of Cisco DNA Center 2.2.3 includes an incredible addition to our network deployment and monitoring feature set, the Wireless 3D Analyzer. It is a never-before-seen solution that allows us to gain perspective on the typically invisible Wi-Fi RF (Radio Frequency). Refer to the use cases below.
Before this, we, along with the rest of the market, have a 2D Map that shows us the placement of APs (Access Points) on a floor and how the RF is propagated from a top-down view. The problem with this approach is that we live in a 3D world. For network administrators to ensure there is proper wireless coverage in every building and floor, they need to view wireless RF at different angles and from the perspective of how a wireless network user would perceive Wi-Fi.
Luckily, reaping the Wireless 3D Analyzer's benefits is as simple as a click of a button.
