Wi-Fi is typically built for a certain purpose or several purposes, such as VoIP, web browsing,
or location tracking. With Network Health, you can, with a single visualization, display whether
the network meets your requirements or not.

Network Issues for <#${floor-name}#>
Network Issues complements Network Health by showing the requirement that is below the
threshold level at each location. Whereas Network Health answers the question "Does it
work?", Network Issues answers the question "If it doesn't work, why?".

Coverage, Interference and Performance
Data Rate is the highest possible speed (measured in megabits per second) at which the
wireless devices will be transmitting data. Typically the true data throughput is about half of
the data rate or less.

Wi-Fi Network Report
Signal Strength for <#${floor-name}#>
Signal Strength - sometimes called coverage - is the most basic requirement for a wireless
network. As a general guideline, low signal strength means unreliable connections, and low
data throughput.

Signal To Noise Ratio (SNR) for <#${floor-name}#>
Signal-To-Noise Ratio indicates how much the signal strength is stronger than the noise (co-
channel interference). Signal must be stronger than noise (SNR greater than zero) for data
transfer to be possible. If the signal is only barely stronger than noise, you may encounter
occasional connection drop-offs.
