WLAN Optimizer

WLAN Optimizer is a domain-focused calculator and planner that helps IT admins and network engineers design and tune wireless networks. It ingests site data and regulatory constraints and computes an optimized channel plan, power settings, and AP placements to maximize aggregate throughput while minimizing co-channel interference. The tool models RF propagation using standard path loss concepts and supports both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, multiple channel widths, and various building configurations. It produces actionable recommendations that a technician can implement in a real deployment.
Core logic includes RF propagation modeling, interference scoring, and channel/power optimization. Required features: RF propagation, channel assignment, power optimization, AP placement suggestions, and output reporting. Optional features: multi-floor planning, scenario comparisons, energy-use estimates, and exportable reports. The algorithm searches candidate configurations, evaluates predicted throughput and coverage, and returns Pareto-optimal options with weights chosen by the user.
Who benefits: IT admins, network engineers, and facilities teams planning or upgrading WLANs in SMBs or enterprise campuses. Unique value: combines established RF math with practical constraints, regulatory limits, and scenario comparison to enable repeatable, traceable decisions. Use cases include site surveys, post-deployment tuning, capacity planning for events, and evaluating hardware upgrades.
