NETSCOUT has introduced the AirCheck G2, its second-generation handheld wireless network tester that provides fast and simple isolation, troubleshooting and diagnosis of wireless issues.

The product is designed to enable IT responders to collect important information to resolve a host of Wi-Fi complaints, ranging from network-based problems and configuration issues to environmental or client device misconfigurations. Featuring a one-button AutoTest that provides a pass/fail indication of the wireless environment, the product identifies common problems and also gives an instant view of test results. This includes network availability, connectivity, utilisation, security settings, rogue hunting and interference detection.

The purpose-built tester supports the latest Wi-Fi technologies (802.11a/b/g/n/ac) and arms technicians with easy-to-understand insights into 802.11ac wireless networks that help to reduce escalations. It also connects to a centralised test results management platform, Link-Live, that facilitates greater job visibility, project control and fleet management for larger distributed environments.

Other features include: a 5″ touch-screen display; ethernet tests for AP backhaul verification; 802.11ac 3 stream radio; and automatic uploads of basic connectivity tests to the Link-Live cloud service.
