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

How Omnipliance WiFi Works
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
