Introduction

AirMagnet Handheld 3.0 and Laptop Trio

AirMagnet Handheld 3.0 and Laptop Trio
Summary	Intuitive, easy to use portable wireless LAN analysis and management tools, priced for Enterprise buyers.
Update	None
Pros	• Best-in-class WLAN "integrity management" for 802.11a/b/g • Easy-to-navigate interface that successfully extracts information from a sea of data
Cons	• High price limits use to deep-pocketed customers • Documentation lacks technical depth

I remember seeing AirMagnet for the first time at Networld+Interop in 2002 and being impressed as hell. Not only was it (and still is) the best example a of low-bulk, hi-content user interface on a PDA-sized screen, but the tricks it could do seemed just amazing. But somehow I never managed to get my hands on one to check it out...until now.

AirMagnet's recent Version 3.0 release prompted the company to embark on a fresh push to get reviewers to help keep the product on prospective buyers' radar screens. This time, I managed to make the reviewer list, and was glad I did.
