WildPackets introduces the Omnipliance WiFi, the first dedicated network appliance for distributed, high-speed wireless packet capture and analysis of 802.11ac networks. The Omnipliance WiFi supports multi-gigabit capture and simultaneous real-time and forensic analysis across an enterprise network without adding extra traffic. It aggregates wireless traffic directly from access points using their existing connections without requiring on-site troubleshooting. This provides 24/7 wireless network visibility and reduces troubleshooting time and costs.

Enterprise Wi-Fi Today
• WLANs are everywhere
‒ Lots of AP’s
‒ Lots of physical distance to
cover
• WLAN troubleshooting
requires a point-of-presence

6. 802.11ac Breaks the Traditional Model

for Network Analysis
Network Speeds of Up to ~7Gbps Create a New Problem
for IT
You can’t monitor or troubleshoot your fast new
network
1,300Mbps+ vs. 433Mbps

7. Portable analysis of enterprise
WLANs is no longer feasible

9. How Omnipliance WiFi Works
© WildPackets, Inc. 9
1. Using the WLAN controller
UI, put the desired APs in
“sniffer” mode, and direct
the packets to Omnipliance
WiFi – packets start flowing
2. Using OmniPeek, connect to
Omnipliance WiFi and
configure your Remote
Adapter capture
3. Start the capture – analysis
(and storage) of all packets
from the APs begin
immediately
