With 802.11n WiFi deployments taking center stage in corporate networks, VeriWave is introducing WaveDeploy, a site-assessment tool for analyzing network readiness, real performance, and the impact of growth and change with a single pass through a facility. Using WaveDeploy, IT managers, systems integrators, and installers can tune networks, manage vendors, certify new devices and applications, verify compliance, and assess the return on investment in mobile data, voice, video, and multiplay services.

WaveDeploy leverages VeriWave's real-client generation technology. Unlike top-down site-survey tools that map AP (access-point) signal power and perform basic ping measurements to try to deduce network quality, WaveDeploy delivers true end-user QoE measurements. Analysis of performance and interoperability is based on the nature and behavior of client devices and applications running on these devices and their interaction with APs and wired and wireless networks.

Base price: $4995. You can download a free version of WaveDeploy Basic at www.wavedeploy.com.
