The Advanced Troubleshooting application is available now, priced at $295 per sensor.

Smart RF, running on the Motorola controllers, automates the work of adjusting channels and power levels on access points. That means the network itself can adapt to changing radio conditions to optimize performance for users. For example, by reducing power levels in some access points, Smart RF can reduce interference, improving throughput for users, or preventing excessive "thrashing" by clients shifting between access points that are too close together.

AirMagnet -- which ranked high in our recent Clear Choice Tests of -- has released a simplified product suite, called AirMagnet Express, with "lightweight" versions of its AirMagnet Analyzer and AirMagnet Survey tools that are designed for the SMB market. The tools provide a set of basic WLAN and radio management and security functions.

Analyzer monitors wireless packets and reports on security and performance problems. Survey is used to map signal strength and radio interference. The Express versions strip out a number of features that are more suited to high-end enterprise networks, according to AirMagnet. The new suite lacks advanced intrusion detection features and alarms, for example. With Express Analyzer, AirMagnet added a new "how-to" section, an online library of the most common WLAN tasks and problems, along with a step-by-step guide to walk users through problem analysis and solution.

Each application is priced at $1,195 or $3,500 for both together. They're available now.
