I forgot to mention in the video we can do multi-floor Wi-Fi designs in AI Pro and ill show that off in another video

[@kristopherleslie8343]

Dope

[@moe85moe85]

that would be great - multi floor is always another level of 3D chess for channel planning - also any neighboring space that has Wifi outside your control also

[@yourpcmd]

$12,985 USD and is on a subscription for software use? That is so not worth it.

[@MactelecomNetworks]

If you design enterprise wifi it’s 100% worth it, as well as troubleshooting and doing heat maps

[@cvnis957]

Previous Ekahau user here, the Sidekick 2 is pretty amazing especially the spectrum analyzer sweep speed. This isn't for a home user to even really try to justify, it's meant for business and ones that either need some end-of-year expenses or ones that employ wifi engineers.

[@RobertMoreland]

@@MactelecomNetworks If its worth it why did you only use it\make a video after the company sent it to you for free?

[@MactelecomNetworks]

@@RobertMoreland I’m a small business but had been saving up towards getting it. Getting it to do videos on was just a bonus
I will still have to pay the yearly subscription on

[@RobertMoreland]

@@MactelecomNetworks Thanks for the clarity.

[@LulzChicken]

Good video, don't forget to view the RSSI as a mobile device for a more accurate heatmap for tablets/phones as opposed to the measured signal which is default.

[@WirelessNerd]

Welcome to the fam :)

[@MactelecomNetworks]

Thank you glad to be here 😀

[@DanielTheRat]

i dont like licences on physical devices like you physically own the device but not the code running inside.

[@kristopherleslie8343]

Good video

[@Legendary_UA]

Can't have enough of any tool

[@mattstarling90]

Awesome video 😎

[@MactelecomNetworks]

Thank you 🙏

[@juliendumont6472]

They added the U7 AP line on Ekahau 2 days ago!

[@MactelecomNetworks]

Oh wicked!! We have some installs coming up with U7 APs

[@kristopherleslie8343]

I was gonna ask you about this Monday

[@TurtleRockChris]

What’s is the advantage of leaving 2.4 off on some APs? Wouldn’t it be better to connect to the nearest AP although it probably shares band and has interference with another AP?

[@cvnis957]

While I liked my time with my Ekahau products, Hamina is a nice upgrade.

[@kraglar1]

we don't use meters in Canada? We learned off metric. However i do agree that drawings often use the feet/inches format. As a side note Unifi just released innerspace, haven't tried it yet but has potential.

[@kristopherleslie8343]

😮😮😮😮😮😮

[@kristopherleslie8343]

I need a robot with AI to help me

[@MactelecomNetworks]

😂 don’t we all
