WIAT is designed to help search for the best wireless channels available as well as the level of interference (noise floor) when installing or troubleshooting wireless LAN connections. This versatile tester aids the installer and troubleshooter in the analyzing and testing of residential and small/medium business (SMB) Wireless Networks.

Designed for the Cable and Telco install industries, the Steren Electronics new Wireless Tester allows the field tech to decide which channel to use, detect strong/weak wireless signals, and determinate interference levels in the area. The Wireless Assurance Tool will also assist with the location for a “signal booster” and mesh-ons.
