AirMapper enables performing enterprise-grade 802.11a/b/g/n site surveys using most any Android device. The app generates a visual "heat map" of Wi-Fi coverage including AP channel, signal and security properties.

The AirMapper PRO version adds the ability to locate APs on a floor map, map throughput coverage and add text, photo, audio or video annotations during the site survey. PRO also allows data export to AirMagnet Survey PRO via email, Dropbox, Evernote, Bluetooth and more.
