NEW ENTRY-LEVEL PRODUCT ANNOUNCEMENT: HELIUM NETWORKS LAUNCHES SITESTUMBLER WIRELESS SITE SURVEY AND AUDIT TOOL
PITTSBURGH, SEPTEMBER 20, 2006 – Helium Networks, Inc. (www.heliumnetworks.com) announces the launch of SiteStumbler, a cost-effective, entry-level wireless site survey and audit tool that enables users to visualize and map 802.11 a/b/g wireless LAN (WLAN) networks, along with performing a variety of simulations. Priced at $995, SiteStumbler integrates a proprietary version of the popular NetStumbler for superior wireless data collection. The product is available for a free seven-day demo at www.heliumnetworks.com/knowledge/sitestumblerdemo.htm. After the initial demo license expires, users can then purchase the product online. The cost includes one year of email support and software upgrades.
According to Paul Morris of Morris Communications in Australia, “I’ve been testing SiteStumbler and I like it a lot. It’s so easy to use. The ability to drag the mouse over the floor plan and pick a spot to see the RF level and SNR is really cool. At the entry level, this is, by far, the best value for the money I have seen.”
“We designed SiteStumbler as an automated, easy-to-use tool for those users who may not need the ‘horsepower’ of our full Wireless Recon solution,” said Walt Halasowski, president of Helium Networks. “But if users need more power over time to support their WLAN environments, they can upgrade at any time. Our goal is to provide users with a scalable solution that meets the needs of all phases of the networks’ design and implementation.”
