Multi-floor projects in Planning mode. You can now create a project spanning several floors of a building, taking vertical distribution of a wireless signal into consideration.
-
Real-time Preview when placing the APs on your floor plan. You can immediately see how the signal will travel around your designated space even before the heatmaps are generated.
