AirMagnet today announced a new version of its Laptop Analyzer that natively decodes and analyzes 802.11n Wi-Fi networks.

The new 7.5 version of Laptop Analyzer provides visibility into all wireless channels, devices, speeds, interference issues and RF spectrum for pre-deployment planning and post-deployment management of 802.11n Wi-Fi networks.

The new version can differentiate between standards-compliant and pre-standard 802.11n devices and supports monitoring both 20 and 40 MHz bandwidth modes and detects and classifies the higher data rates used by 802.11n devices.

Other features include 802.11n rogue device detection, Non-HT (legacy), HT mixed format and HT greenfield format traffic detection and classification and ability to identify backward compatibility issues with legacy 802.11a/b/g devices operating in the same environment.

Laptop Analyzer 7.5 will be available July 16. Existing customers who have an active software support subscription are entitled to a no charge upgrade to the new version.
