Yesterday saw the release of a new version of Ekahau Site Survey, taking the software to version 8.7.0. The highlights of the new version are:

Copy & paste Wi-Fi planning (predictive design) elements: APs, walls, floor alignment points, etc.

Adjust heatmap opacity to make the floor plan more visible

Quick AP coverage toggling

• Selecting an access point on the map view now automatically deselects the other access point(s)
• This allows you to quickly toggle between each access point’s coverage when you are showing the visualization for the Selected Access Points
• To select multiple access points on the map view, hold down the CTRL / SHIFT / CMD button or select the APs one by one on the left hand side Access Point List. You can also do the group selection with Edit-tool now!

Improvements for non-adjacent wall segment handling

• Editing multiple wall elements simultaneously now applies only on the selected elements
• Previously the change was also applied on the elements between the selected elements which practically made the whole multi wall edit unusable

Addition of Aerohive multi-radio logic

HUGE amount of new APs and antennas from almost 40 different vendors
