TamoGraph®
Site Survey

Easy WLAN Planning, Deployment, and Maintenance
TamoGraph is a powerful and user-friendly wireless site survey and planning software that helps you visualize andanalyze existing 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax Wi-Fi networks or plan and design new ones. Wireless network modeling,
deployment, and maintenance requires the use of a professional RFplanning and site survey tool that facilitates otherwise time-consuming
and very complex tasks such as turning your business connectivity
requirements into a reliable WLAN, followed by ongoing analysis andreporting of coverage, signal strength, noise and interference, channel
allocation, data rates, etc.
By using TamoGraph, businesses can dramatically reduce the time andcosts that are involved in deploying and maintaining Wi-Fi networks andimprove network performance and coverage in all kinds of environments:
office buildings, airports, cafes, malls, or open space areas.

Why to Perform a Site Survey
In a word, wireless site surveys are necessary because radio wave propagation is difficult to predict, especially in non open space environments. It is virtually impossible
to consider all the variables that might affect thehealth and performance of your WLAN. Changing
conditions, even something as seemingly minor asa notebook equipped with a legacy 802.11n adapterthat your new employee connected to the office
wireless network, might seriously impact the WLAN
performance. In addition, considering the wide
proliferation of wireless infrastructure, factors suchas interference from nearby WLANs play a very
important role. This is why regular site surveys thatare conducted with a professional tool areimportant.

When to Perform a Site Survey
Pre-deployment surveys: At this stage, a site survey is necessary in order to verify that the network plan works well ina real-world environment. Placement of temporary access points and a quick survey of the resulting WLAN
characteristics allow an engineer to fine-tune AP andantennae placement, determine the optimal number andtypes of APs and antennae, and avoid poor coverage zones.

Post-deployment surveys: Once a WLAN has been deployed,
a complete verification site survey is necessary to ensure that
the WLAN performance and coverage meet the design
requirements. At this stage, the Wi-Fi equipment placement isfinalized and a site survey report should be generated so thatthe historical records can be accessed at any time in thefuture.

Regular, ongoing surveys: Maintaining high performance and coverage requires regular "check-up" surveys. New users,
new equipment, site expansion, neighboring WLANs, and other factors can adversely affect your WLAN. It should bemonitored on a regular basis.

Spectrum Analysis
Spectrum analysis involves the use of special RF equipment designed to listen to and analyze the frequency bands
utilized by Wi-Fi devices. Because these bands are unlicensed, they are often shared with non -Wi-Fi sources of RFsignals, such as wireless video cameras, microwave ovens, or cordless phones, which cause interference. The purposeof spectrum analysis is to detect and identify such sources of interference, eliminate them, and identify the WLAN
channels with minimal interference. TamoGraph can perform spectrum analysis simultaneously with passive surveys
by interfacing with Wi-Spy, a USB-based spectrum analyzer by MetaGeek, or WiPry, a USB-based tri-band spectrum byOscium.
When a USB spectrum analyzer is connected, a live spectrum picture is displayed on the central pane of the main
TamoGraph window. After you have performed a survey, the spectrum data collected can be added to PDF or HTMLreports.

Product Maintenance
All TamoSoft products come with one year of free updates, upgrades, and e-mail support.

System Requirements –Windows
TamoGraph runs on Microsoft Windows 10 and 11, Windows Server 2016, 2019, and 2022. For passive surveys, acompatible Wi-Fi adapter is required. TamoGraph supports many USB and integrated wireless adapters; see our website
for the up-to-date list. For active surveys, any modern Wi-Fi adapter can be used.

System Requirements – macOS
TamoGraph runs on macOS Catalina, Big Sur, Monterey, Ventura, Sonoma. TamoGraph requires a MacBook, MacBook
Pro, or MacBook Air manufactured in 2012 or later. For passive or active surveys, TamoGraph uses the MacBook’s builtin adapter. Optionally, a USB adapter can be used for passive surveys; see our website for the up-to-date list.
