Compare 7SIGNAL vs. WiFi Explorer

For businesses that depend on reliable Wi-Fi for their operations, 7SIGNAL offers a cloud-based Wireless Network Monitoring (WNM) platform that persistently evaluates the wireless network for performance challenges, thereby enhancing network uptime, device connectivity, and overall network return on investment. In contrast to other service providers who inspect the network from the infrastructure viewpoint, 7SIGNAL focuses on the network's edge, assessing the "air" and recording the user experience directly from client devices. The Sapphire Eye is an advanced Wi-Fi sensor that has been developed and patented by 7SIGNAL. These hardware sensors are installed on the premises and are specifically engineered to remotely assess the quality of wireless network services through cloud-based software. Additionally, Mobile Eye is a Software as a Service (SaaS) solution also created and patented by 7SIGNAL. This application is deployed on the end user’s wireless device, allowing organizations to maintain continuous oversight of the wireless network right from the endpoint, ensuring a comprehensive view of network performance and user experiences. Together, these tools provide organizations with critical insights to improve their Wi-Fi services.

WiFi Explorer serves as a valuable tool for the design and validation of wireless networks, enabling users to detect channel conflicts, overlapping channels, and issues related to low signal quality, all of which can impact connectivity and performance in homes, offices, or larger enterprises. Tailored for Wi-Fi specialists, WiFi Explorer Pro 3 extends its functionality, offering a comprehensive suite of advanced features that aid in the analysis and evaluation of various network types, whether for residential spaces, small offices, or corporate environments. With this application, users can gain a detailed snapshot of the Wi-Fi environment, allowing for the swift identification of prevalent issues that may hinder network efficiency or connectivity. Additionally, the tool allows for the filtering and organization of scan outcomes by parameters such as name, physical access point, or vendor, enhancing the visualization and troubleshooting processes across diverse settings. Furthermore, users can leverage integrations that visualize data from both wireless and non-802.11 energy sources, providing deeper insights into interference effects and channel usage, ultimately leading to more robust network performance.
