Pakedge Device & Software adds a series of new feature sets to its Wireless Access Point (WAP) controller, the C36.

The upgraded C36 should make the design and installation of WAPs simple to configure, while ensuring optimised performance and signal coverage through a home or commercial building.

The new Heat Mapping feature will allow integrators to survey the Wi-Fi coverage of each WAP ahead of installation, allowing them to determine the ideal position in advance of installation for a right-first-time result on every project.

By uploading floor plans to the C36 design interface, installers can place virtual WAPs in position and assess the range of Wi-Fi coverage with a clear radius outline visible onscreen. Installers are then able to ‘heat map’ the wireless network, moving these virtual points to ensure the desired Wi-Fi coverage level is achieved across a room or zone.

Nick Phillips, VP of Sales & Marketing at Pakedge, says “With our system updates on the C36, installers are better placed to ensure the reliability and coverage of a network before it is installed. It also allows a greater level of customisation – if you know your client has a favourite chair to watch IPTV then you can preview the position of a WAP to ensure the best level of coverage.”
