Version 11.1.2

Release Date: November 10th, 2022

• New features and improvements:
• New AP name generator
• You can use optional {map} parameter for the floor name and {xxx} for the running number together with the length
• Remember, try to keep the AP name in 15 characters or less, because that's what the APs like!
• Add notes to multiple APs in one go by selecting the APs and right clicking for the options
• Apparently most of the AP notes always contain the same info so this makes assigning those installations instructions much faster
• Also editing Notes is now undoable for obvious reasons... because nobody ever makes any mistakes
• Save / Load / Undo / Redo buttons brought back to main UI
• They are quite obvious and hard to miss...
• ...but how about the zoom buttons?
• The zoom buttons are also back, but they are located in the lower-right corner of the map view like in any modern application
• Copy & Paste an AP at a cursor location
• Just right click the map view to paste the copied AP onto that location with Paste Here option
• In the INSPECT workspace, the Statistics & Pass/Fail details now default to all areas aggregated statistics instead of the largest area
• In case you want to see the statistics for a single requirement area, just select that area
• You can set the default color for new simulated APs in the preferences menu
• Fixed issues:
• LIVE workspace performance stability fixed
• Looking at live data should no longer slow down your application
• Stability boost preferences option removed as unnecessary
• Sidekick firmware update progress dialog doesn’t hide behind scanner configuration dialog anymore
• Floor alignment point combobox behaves properly again
• INSPECT workspace radio list shows the correct channel for all radios when inspecting surveys

Version 11.1.0

Release Date: September 14th, 2022

• New features:
• AI Pro now officially supports the new Ekahau Sidekick 2 hardware with 6 GHz capability
• The Sidekick 2 allows you to perform super fast Wi-Fi site surveys in dual-band Wi-Fi networks and even the tri-band site surveys are faster than traditional dual-band site surveys
• Inclusion of 6 GHz measurement data brings along a new project schema version 1.7
• If you are saving an older project with AI Pro 11.1.0, there is a warning dialog that indicates that you are about to save your file with the newest format and this format is not supported by older versions of Pro, AI Pro or Survey applications
• This also means that Ekahau Survey application will be updated to support the new project schema
• PLEASE NOTE! Users who would like to keep on using an older version of the Ekahau Survey and AI Pro, please reach out to our Customer Support www.ekahau.com/support
• The Live workspace now has a brand new Density Graph representation with an even more accurate and visually pleasing spectrum view
• This is especially notable if you have your Sidekick 2 connected and scanning on all three bands 2.4, 5 and 6 GHz. Remember to try out different color schemes for the spectrum to get the best contrast and reveal details of your Wi-Fi spectrum
• There is a completely new Sidekick configuration dialog, which enables you to easily target only particular bands or particular channels
• You can use the on/off toggle separately for each band or open up a channel selector to define individual channels for these bands. There is always an option to use the Default setting which will scan all available Wi-Fi channels in your regulatory domain. Note you can also change this setting in the Preferences
• Adding AP notes is now made easier
• You can add AP notes by right-clicking them on the map and selecting to Edit Notes. This will directly open the note editing dialog
• We now also support adding multiple images at the same time to your notes and remember the path to the last added image
• Channel planner now has a new option to take in to account the channels of APs of networks outside planning to even further optimize your channel plans
• For your template reporting needs, a new data tag "technology-phy" was added to be used inside a ssid or network loop. While the "technology" tag reports a network standard by the Wi-Fi Alliance name (for example Wi-Fi 6), with the new tag you can report the 802.11 physical layer standard (for example 802.11ax) instead.
• Fixed issues:
• The area calculations for projects with exclusion areas and multiple areas have been fixed in reporting.
• Zooming waterfall views in Inspect mode now works properly.

Version 11.0.2

Release Date: June 29th, 2022

• Improvements:
• We brought back the adjustable sidebars for Access Point List and Inspect-workspace grid. Either Open/Close the sidebars with new arrows or bravely grab the divider and freely adjust the sidebar width! The choice...is yours.
• We heard you loud and clear that you wanted again more statistics for your designs. Now you can once again access the statistics popup in the Design workspace with a button on the right edge of the map toolbar.
• Added keyboard shortcuts for switching between workspaces. Now you can switch between the workspace with numbers 1-4.
• Also, we added shortcuts for tools as well. You can switch between the tools with CTRL/CMD+1 --> CTRL/CMD+9 combinations. Works both in Design-workspace and Survey-workspace.
• Lastly, we ended our shortcut adding spree by adding shortcuts for tool sub-selections as well! You can cycle the sub-selections by repeatedly pressing the tool's shortcut. For example, pressing CTRL/CMD+4 multiple times will cycle through Wall, Attenuation Area and Hole-in-Floor tools.
• Wide channels are now indicated with different colors on the Access Point and Radios List, so you can quickly see with a glance how wide you're going with your channels and if anything is amiss.
• "View as Mobile Device" option is now turned off by default for new projects. This means visualization is shown as "Measured" by default without additional offsets to simulate a typical mobile device.
• Transparency on drop-down menus was toned down for better readability.
• Channel Planner now prefers PSC for wide channels on 6Ghz frequency. All the cool kids use the PSC nowadays, don't ya know?
• Ability to exit Additional Radio Info view in Inspect-workspace and Visualization Options everywhere with ESC.
• User guide button in Ekahau AI Pro will now take you to the new Ekahau AI Pro user guide.
• Fixed issues:
• Grabbing & dragging an element at the same time no longer moves the previously selected elements. Effectively, grabbing an AP won't bring down the walls around you anymore.
• Additional Info view and sortable columns in Inspect-workspace no longer occasionally get stuck. Previously these two elements were in so awe of our new AI Auto-Planner, that they froze in place after running the planner.
• Channel Planner now works better with AP-on-a-Stick (APoS) projects. It no longer considers the frozen APs to be a single individual AP but several different APs, like it should.
• Secondary and Tertiary Signal Strength visualizations now show proper results when investigating a survey route with the marker-tool.
• Text selection in AP name field now works properly with a mouse - again. Don't worry this was just human experiment to test the annoyance threshold of our dear users - and you passed!
• Additionally, AP name text box now a proper minimum size and it no longer shrinks to adorably and unbearably small size in certain situations.
• Improved AI Auto-Planner's stability and robustness.
• Visualization Statistics results now refresh properly when viewing a visualization without statistics results.
• Accuracy can now be properly configured with new names (Low/Fair/Normal/High/Max) in template reporting.
• Survey bookmarks work in template reporting once more.
• Improved issues where visualizations didn't always show up properly when changing floors in multi-floor projects.
• Fixed certain views which were still showing results with the old light color scheme. Now we've properly rounded out our "Finland in October at middle of the night" atmosphere!
• Other miscellaneous fixes
• New access points, antennas and BLE beacons:
• Aruba AP-584, AP-585, AP-587 and AP-655
• Buffalo WAPM-AX4R
• Added Bluetooth radios on Ruckus ZoneFlex R750 and ZoneFlex R850
• Extra Notes:
• Still reminding...if you happened to miss the initial Ekahau AI Pro 11.0.0 release, please read the details about the Tyrannosaurus-sized release from below!

Version 11.0.1

Release Date: May 31st, 2022

• Fixed issues:
• Cropped maps are now displayed correctly in reporting. We're sorry for any inconvenience this issue has caused!
• Landing page now disappears instantly after project loading starts. It is rather faux pas to overstay your welcome, after all.
• Fixed errors that were displayed when opening certain legacy projects.
• Customized visualization legends in reporting are shown correctly once more. Bad news: No more pages full of rainbows. Good news: Now the legend actually works.
• "Unknown" SSIDs are now displayed always the same way in both Ekahau AI Pro and Ekahau Insights.
• Extra Notes:
• If you happened to miss the initial Ekahau AI Pro 11.0.0 release, please read the details about the Tyrannosaurus-sized release from below!

Version 11.0.0

Release Date: May 19th, 2022

Welcome to the shiny, new thing that was teased in the last release notes. Welcome to Ekahau AI Pro!

We're bringing you possibly the biggest release to date - with release notes to match it. Please, check the main features in detail from the What's New if you require additional information. That said, let's start our waterslide down the feature list!

• Ekahau AI Pro introduces a completely new set of tools and capabilities to help you plan new or improve existing Wi-Fi networks faster and smarter
• Plan for 6Ghz Wi-Fi networks
• Simulate, evaluate and implement the best option to improve your existing Wi-Fi network - from creating new channel plans to simulating replacement of your current APs or clean slate Wi-Fi deployment plan
• Work faster and smarter with tools like AI Auto-Planner, which runs thousands of iterations to find optimal AP locations and channel configurations in a matter of minutes
• New features:
• Completely reworked User Interface & Experience - With added dramatic atmosphere!
• Ekahau AI Pro's UI color scheme has been changed to Dark. We hope you like it painted black, but please give us feedback if you want to see other color schemes in the application as well.
• General functionality has been re-organized into separate workspaces: Design, Inspect, Survey and Live. Each workspace clearly focuses on a particular aspect of the application and gives more room to more specialized functionality.
• There are also thousand other smaller & bigger UI changes you'll encounter when you start to use this new version of Ekahau AI Pro. We've dusted out all the old icons, cleaned up all different views, vacuumed all corners of the UI and more other cleaning analogies!
• New Inspect-workspace - Getting down to details
• Inspect-workspace is not only a successor to the old Survey Inspector, but it also combines the functionality of the AP list, visualization details and the map view. All this makes this workspace perfect for investigating Wi-Fi information from all angles!
• This new workspace shows both the overall view for the floor and detailed location-based information when you've selected a point on the map (either ON or OFF the survey path).
• Network Filter and new filtering options - More interesting than it sounds (really)!
• In Ekahau AI Pro we've replaced the old All/My/Other/Selected filter with a new & powerful Network Filter tool.
• This new filter allows you to easily view your own networks, individual SSIDs or even specific type of access points. Additionally, this new filter doesn't only filter visualizations, it also filters the APs on the list and map view as well.
• Additionally, you can now easily view heatmaps of selected APs...well...by selecting the APs in question. Simple as that!
• Simulation Support for 6GHz frequency - Wi-Fi highway just got some extra lanes!
• Ekahau AI Pro supports the new Wi-Fi 6E technology and allows you to create simulated plans with it.
• All the old and new planning functionalities work with the 6GHz frequency so you can start creating your simulated 6GHz projects today.
• And what's a sandbox without any new toys? Maybe a tiny desert? In any case, we've also added a nice selection of 6GHz access points to this release so you can get started with your 6GHz plans immediately.
• Next Generation AI Auto-Planner - Big leap via small steps!
• Introducing the proper next-generation AI Auto-Planner for Ekahau AI Pro. Now we are talking about the "AI" in Ekahau AI Pro.
• AI Auto-Planner's new algorithm generates superior results by iterating on the generated plan until the optimal solution is found. Previously only one best guess was used to generate the final plan.
• Enjoy new animated "Dancing APs" half-time show while the AI Auto-Planner is working its magic!
• Channel Planner 2.0 - Upping the number game
• We've now properly upgraded our Channel Planner and its algorithm - and it's now better. Much better. Check it out to see the difference!
• Network Simulator - Simulation through measurements
• This new innovative feature lets you see how your survey projects would look with different AP models.
• Network Simulator takes measured data and simulated antenna patterns - and conjures them into new generated results allowing you to simulate various alternative plans for your measured networks.
• Please note, this feature is still in BETA but functionally it's all there, so feel free to try it out and give us feedback on it.
• Automatic Wall Calibration Tool - Attention to Attenuation
• Wall Calibration Tool (not to be confused with Wall Detection BETA) allows you to easily calculate the attenuation for your walls with the click of a button.
• This tool takes the measurements in your projects and uses them to figure out how much each wall type is actually attenuating the signals.
• Additionally you can also calibrate individual wall segments if you prefer a more "hands-on" approach.
• Simulated Reflections and Diffractions - The Art of Bouncing & Bending!
• After a lot of heads were scratched and a lot of coffee was drunk, our R&D-team has now been able to model reflections and diffractions into our simulated projects.
• This means that simulated projects are now able to model how the signals bounce from various materials and how they bend around pillars and corners.
• Modelling this behavior is quite performance-intensive, so the reflections & diffractions are currently only enabled when using MAX-accuracy in simulated projects.
• Improvements:
• Added Summary views to Auto-Planner, Channel Planner and the new Network Simulator. That about sums it up!
• Inspected areas are now selected in Inspect-workspace and Design-workspace by clicking the area border.
• Ekahau AI Pro has now a proper landing screen to welcome the users and to give some guidance.
• Added ability to assign band-specific attenuation values for walls and attenuation areas.
• Redesigned the settings views for Wall tool and Attenuation Area tool. After we got started with the previous issue we just couldn't help ourselves!
• Improved visualization loading times when making changes on individual APs with more effective visualization logic.
• Implemented right-click menu for quickly editing multiple access points on the AP list. There is indeed a right button on a mouse as well, intriguing!
• Changed the style and functionality of loading bars. We no longer show loading bars for very short (less than 1s) load times, which makes the access point manipulation on a map now one smooooooth operation.
• Implemented a legend for Live-workspace's Spectrum view to better explain function of the spectrum colors. Damn, those things weren't just a cool screen saver after all...
• Implemented selectable color schemes for spectrum. Click the legend in Live-workspace to open the selection. Even if they are not a screen saver, it doesn't mean it shouldn't look cool...
• Reorganized the visualization and floor selection to the bottom of the application window, so that they make up a sensible trio with the new "Network" selection down there.
• CAD Import now also automatically saves the used layer/wall combinations and applies them to future CAD floor plans if applicable, saving users the tedium of assigning the same layers and walls again and again.
• Once again, we also just had to give the whole CAD Import dialog a proper facelift as well. And that we did.
• Auto-Planner shows in real-time how the plan is being generated and iterated upon. Now THAT'S entertainment!
• Added ability to "Hide" access points which you don't want to see in the project or in reporting.
• Access Points list Options-menu now shows only the relevant options based on the current access points selection.
• Changed and simplified the application installation process. Ekahau AI Pro starts immediately after installation and launches in High DPI -mode by default.
• Auto-Planner dialog has also received a facelift and we've also split the dialog into more user-friendly "Basic" settings and the more familiar "Advanced" settings.
• "Not placed on any map" section in AP list is now renamed to "No Location" and moved to the bottom of the AP list.
• "Channel to Show" setting in Channel Interference now defaults to "Primary Association". As a friendly reminder, you can still set new defaults from View-menu.
• Auto-Planner and Channel Planner only allow you to select specific 2.4GHz channel combinations, because there are only a few non-interfering combinations on 2.4GHz frequency.
• Visualization Options and Legend options are now combined into a single Visualization Settings view. You can find this new view by clicking the visualization legend.
• Relocated the "Auto-Refresh" and "View as Mobile Device" toggles to visualization settings view from the main UI.
• Visualization Statistics button was removed from Design-workspace, but the visualization statistics can be now found easily in the Inspect-workspace.
• Miscellaneous tweaks and improvements
• Fixed issues:
• Fixed macOS 12 (Monterey) stability issues with an updated JavaFX version.
• Unified the default settings between Network Health/Issues and Channel Interference visualizations.
• Removed unnecessary visualization refreshes from various locations.
• Resolved certain value rounding issues between various different views.
• Fixed the issue where background noise color for spectrum was slightly different for different bands.
• Fixed an issue where default Opacity setting is now properly 70%, instead of totally incorrect 71%. OCD-induced eyebrow twitching was reduced by 72,8% with this fix.
• Visualization statistics are now displayed correctly in reporting.
• Tweaked Ubiquiti grouping logic. Ah yes, it wouldn't be a proper release without grouping logics fixes.

Version 10.3.1

Release Date: June 21st, 2021

• Improvements:
• You can now filter results in reporting based on custom APs colors with the new "ap-color" tag.
• Additionally, you can now also disable custom AP colors from reporting with “show-custom-colors” tag, if you just want to have your private fun with custom AP colors in the application. We won't judge!
• Template reporting train keeps on rolling! Added band-specific criterion-value-ch-overlap-limit-2.4 and criterion-value-ch-overlap-limit-5 for band-specific criteria values.
• Added a measurement accuracy warning when using USB Wi-Fi dongles or internal adapter for site surveys. These adapters are not purpose-built for site surveys and are known to have huge measurement variances and frequently result in inaccurate measurements and poor performing networks. Don’t put your Wi-Fi network at risk! Instead, use Ekahau Sidekick, the only professional device capable of Wi-Fi Precision Measuring available for any device.
• Other miscellaneous improvements
• Fixed issues:
• Several important project integrity issues fixed. No more are various components forgetting their IDs to their desktop drawers!
• Improvements to application login process robustness and reliability + additional logging for troubleshooting purposes.
• Further improved how the application window works with multi-screen setups on macOS.
• Noise measurements in RTFM are no longer displayed as -120dBm if there no noise results in measurements.
• Toast messages are now adjusted back to their correct position. It was truly an age of chaos for a while, but harmony is now restored!
• Fixed an issue where "unplaced" APs occasionally made the reporting fail.
• Auto-Planner now also sets the BLE radio height correctly. Now Auto-Planner's only answer for BLE is no longer "2.4m".
• Changed attenuation area minimum size to be based on minimum area size instead of pixel size. Yep, there are some wonderfully odd floor plans out there!
• Adjusted Radio Edit dialog so all the components fit to the dialog when language is set to German. Alles in Ordnung!
• Fine-tuned compatibility with certain Ekahau Survey projects.
• Fixed an issue where Extreme Networks grouping logic got mixed up with Aerohive's logic. This vendor turf war resolved with a dance-off (and maybe some code tweaks).

Version 10.3.0

Release Date: January 14th, 2021

• New features:
• Updated licensing system for Ekahau Pro - Au revoir to dongles!
• We have now unified the Ekahau Pro license activation to work the same way as in its siblings, Ekahau Survey and Ekahau Analyzer. This means that you'll need to login to the application with your Ekahau Account credentials. Just start the application and we'll get you started!
• This new licensing system means that Ekahau Pro has freed itself from clutches of hardware-bound licensing. You no longer need to tie the license to specific internal or external hardware device - for more flexibility and freedom. Liberté, égalit...well, let's not get too carried away.
• How does this newfound flexibility manifests itself? Now you will be able to activate and use the license on two computers at once. Try it out - but please remember that one license limited to one person only!
• You can also transfer your license between different devices more much easily - without having to contact Ekahau Support! Feel still free to say "Hi!" to our support guys, though!
• However, you can only transfer the license between devices limited amount of times, so pick your chosen devices carefully(ish).
• Access Point Color Selection - Red ones go faster!
• In Ekahau Pro 10.3.0 you can now give your access points custom colors via AP list and Radio Edit dialog. For that trendy neo-80's look, may we suggest the screaming pink?
• Additionally, you can use the new access point colors as new parameters in Quick Select or when searching for specific APs on the AP list.
• The custom AP colors will also work seamlessly with the reporting - without any additional tags or tweaking needed!
• Multi-Edit for Measured APs - Mixing things up!
• We are bringing balance to the Force (of AP editing) by introducing multi-editing to measured APs as well! Previously, multi-editing was only limited to simulated access points, which certainly wasn't good enough.
• Additionally, you can also multi-edit a mixed selection of measured and simulated APs. Just keep in mind that only settings shared between AP types are shown in the multi-edit dialog!
• Measured APs have a significantly more limited settings than simulated APs, but otherwise they work the same way in both dialogs. But remember, it's not size of your settings but how you use them!
• Improvements:
• Significant compatibility improvements for macOS 11 "Big Sur".If you are considering updating your computer to macOS 11, please install this release.
• Manual AP locations are now kept when merging projects. However, for best results, ensure that both projects don't have manually located APs in wildly different locations.
• Added support for WPA3 security standard. This sequel is better than the last one!
• Added ability to disable radios in multi-radio edit by selecting "Off" in Band selection. Additionally, wonkiness has been reduced by 57% when displaying disabled radios in multi-edit dialog.
• Hybrid projects (mix of measured & simulated APs) now check floor-specifically if hybrid visualization rules should be used or not. This can improve heatmap accuracy if some floors only contain measured APs.
• Improvements on memory usage when generating heatmaps.
• Separated Settings and Notes into their own tabs in Radio Edit for measured APs.
• Improvements on Meraki grouping logic. A release just doesn't feel the same without one of these...
• Other miscellaneous improvements.
• Fixed issues:
• Fixed a serious issue on macOS where starting a second Ekahau Pro instance would block you from running Ekahau Pro again. Now you are properly limited to running only one instance at a time on macOS.
• Tweaked project merging logic so that floors with a same name but different floor plans don't get merged together.
• On the other hand, fixed an issue where merging projects with floors with same floor plan but with different names merged incorrectly together.
• Channel Interference no longer shows grey-out value as one greater in reporting than what has been configured in the application. Plus-ones aren't invited, please!
• Improved proxy settings parsing on special proxy setups for macOS.
• Also, fixed an issue where the proxy window hid behind the main dialog on macOS.
• All Quick Select dialog's columns now show the scroll bar properly. Channel-column, you though you could get away with it! Damn you!
• Ekahau Pro no longer occasionally swallows up the first letter on Extreme Networks SSIDs. 'hat ain't 'ice, 'ates!
• Fixed an issue where Extreme Networks and Aerohive SSID names weren't always parsed correctly from information elements.
• Building view is now correctly disabled while in Crop & Rotate mode.
• On macOS CMD+A shortcut (Select all) no longer actually selects all if your focus is on a specific text field. Why do it when you can overdo it!
• Omni-directional antennas now also hide their orientation when their tilt angle is reversed (i.e flipped by 180 degrees).
• Round-trip Time heatmap results are shown correctly when you have multiple "Ping" sessions in a single survey. So dropping off the network shouldn't any longer make Round-trip Time flip the table and quit.
• Fixed a problem where the camera didn't always get initialized when taking pictures for notes
• Empty "Template" projects no longer lose different dual-band criteria when you save the project to the cloud.
• New access points, antennas and BLE beacons:
• Cisco C9105i and C9105W
• Aruba AP-565, AP-567, AP-574, AP-575, AP-577

Version 10.2.2

Release Date: September 8th, 2020

• Fixed issues:
• Fixed a severe issue with "My Access Points" filter, which incorrectly displayed heatmap for "All Access Points" when starting a new project.
• Using external screens with MacBook's own display sometimes caused hilarious situations where pop-up dialogs appeared partially out of screen. Well, maybe it's not that hilarious...
• Detached Survey Inspector dialog was also misbehaving on macOS, where the dialog couldn't always be moved to a different screen. That's no longer the case.
• Other miscellaneous fixes.
• Notes:
• If you missed the previous 10.2.1 release, please check all the interesting improvements and crucial fixes in that version from below!

Version 10.2.1

Release Date: September 4th, 2020

• Improvements:
• "Recent projects" section in File-menu now also shows recently used Cloud and Sidekick projects as well.
• Ekahau Cloud project dialog now clearly shows if you can open the specific Cloud project or not (i.e whether the project is made with newer version of Ekahau Pro than you're currently using).
• You can now also report TX power from your measured APs with existing TX power reporting tags.
• New, more extensive "Copy template tags to clipboard" option added, which copies all the other map-related tags to clipboard as well (walls, areas, surveys etc.). We also kept the old option, if you just want the visualization tags, not all this new-fangled non-sense!
• Added example template for custom tags, the familiar face from Ekahau Pro 10.2.0 release. Check it out for further inspiration for your tagging endeavors!
• Added a proper way to report all radios with certain SSIDs with tag called "essids". Don't use the old "ssids" tag for this purpose, it is a silly old thing.
• Labels no longer get cut off in reports if the AP is close to the map border. And this was the last stop for this Reporting Improvements Train. Next up: Random Enhancements Monorail!
• Added channel 144 to Japanese regulatory domain. 楽しんでください!
• Implemented dynamic height for AP Edit dialogs (Single & Multi-Edit). Simply put, if your screen resolution is high (1080p or higher), these dialogs are now bigger and show more content at once, lower resolutions stay the same as before.
• Changed omni-directional Mist APs with BLE radios to be have a visible turning arrow for easier direction adjustment.
• Application pop-up messages now show up even if you don't have focus on the main application window.
• Adjusted Auto-Planner to work better with "RTLS" coverage requirement.
• Removed "Whole Map" and "Wide Area" default attenuation areas from Ekahau Pro (they don't make up for good designs, trust us). If you still want to use these areas though, feel free to customize them back in as new area types.
• Updated Ekahau Pro to use Java 11. Everything still works the way it did before. Yay! This was your Inside Baseball minute!
• Removed spaces between AP name and running number when bulk naming APs. This should make your controller less grouchy when using these names.
• Tooltips no longer expire while hovering cursor over them.
• Improved Arista grouping logic.
• Other miscellaneous improvements.
• Fixed issues:
• Several important project integrity fixes related to Ekahau Cloud syncing. Maintaining project integrity is always our number one goal and we're sorry for any trouble these issues may have caused you.
• Fixed an issue where GPS surveys didn't work in the southern hemisphere. Unfortunately, Ekahau didn't take us to vacati...erm, important QA trip to test this bug.
• Fixed a bug where lower wall egde setting couldn't be customized. "Accept no limits!" slogan probably wasn't suppose to mean this...
• Data Rate and Throughput visualizations now show 802.11ax data rates correctly.
• Fixed a bug where taking too many snapshots with notes tool crashed the application.
• Adding new tags in "Edit Multiple Simulated APs" no longer wipes tag values (not tag keys) from the selected APs. We're not monsters, we have to uphold some values at least!
• Antenna Height option can now be selected again with a mouse in Auto-planner dialog.
• Visualization statistics can now be displayed without areas again.
• Using CMD/CTRL+A in tag creation dialog no longer selects objects on the map as well.
• "Worst Channel + Association limit" setting in Channel Interference visualization now works properly with View as Mobile Device view mode.
• Channel planner radio buttons no longer get "sticky" when they are being switched. That's what spilling soda on your code does...
• Fixed an issue where visualization slider setting values didn't match with visualization tooltip values.
• Survey inspector is no longer empty and unusable if opened without a project.
• Bluetooth radio status now updates properly on the map when they are toggled ON/OFF from the AP list.
• Visualization statistics for Network issues would occasionally would show incorrect colors, now that's fixed. Sorry if we are taking away your new favorite color here!
• Other miscellaneous fixes.
• New access points, antennas and BLE beacons:
• New Cisco AP combinations: C9120e + AIR-ANT2524V4C-R, C9120e + AIR-ANT2566P4WR, AP2802E + AIR-ANT2524V4C-R and AP1852E + AIR-ANT2566P4WR. Updated C9130 5GHz patterns.

Version 10.2.0

Release Date: June 5th, 2020

• New features:
• Incremental Cloud Sync & Friends - Incredibly improved Ekahau Cloud saving for Ekahau Pro (...or how it should've been all along)
• Ekahau Cloud saving (or "syncing", as the big boys say it) now only saves the new changes on the project to Cloud, instead of saving the whole project each time. Headlines: Improved save times! Better collaboration across applications!
• Additionally, Ekahau Cloud now lets you know if there are any new changes on the project you're working on and brings them automatically in the next time you sync your project, letting your friends & colleagues know when you've made changes to a project.
• Ekahau Pro now creates a distinction between Local, Cloud and Sidekick projects (yes, even Sidekick saving gets a pat on the head). This means, that a project saved/opened from Ekahau Cloud is treated as a Cloud project and will be saved to the Cloud when using the Save-button. No muss, no fuss.
• "View as Mobile Device" and adapter offset improvements - A day in the life of a client device
• Previously visualization offsets have been around as a semi-secret feature, but now we have turned the spotlight on this feature and dragged it from the shadows to the front stage.
• Introducing: A new offset called "View as Mobile Device". This new default offset is designed to offset RSSI values based on how a typical modern cell phone would view Wi-Fi signals. This offset is applied on both simulated and Sidekick survey projects...
• ...however, if a new default offset sounds like a step too far, never fear! You can also easily turn it off and use the old default settings from previous versions. But please, give the new "View as Mobile Device" offset a spin and see how you like it!
• Lastly, the selected offset now also affects Live views and Survey Inspector results as well. This helps Ekahau Pro give you a unified view on how the network environment looks like when viewed through the lense of a typical mobile device or any other type of custom offset.
• Custom tags for Ekahau Pro - Tag it like you own it!
• New custom tags in Ekahau Pro allow you to add free-form descriptors on APs to identify, categorize and report them better. Tagging can be anything from giving APs serial numbers, flagging their status or just letting people know which one is your personal favorite AP.
• Add multiple tags at once on APs from "Edit Multiple Simulated Access Points", categorize and select APs with certain tags with Quick Select or use the search field to find APs with a particular tag - just a few tips from your friendly neighborhood PM :)
• Lastly, a quick heads-up on tagging technicalities. The new tags are made up of two parts: tag key and tag value. Knowing the difference helps you better search and report exactly the APs you want. More information on this in What's New and Ekahau Pro User Guide!.
• Multi-band requirements for Coverage Requirements - Divorcing 2.4Ghz & 5Ghz requirements (they still stay friends, though)
• You can now create requirements with different criteria for 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz bands. This allows you to give different grey-out values for different bands and help you define your network requirements with greater granularity than ever before. Check out the Coverage Requirements dialog to get started!
• This improvement also affects the Live Requirements, which is now band-specific as well!
• And since we didn't want to be a bother, these separate band requirements and grey-outs will be displayed in the reports without any additional adjustments on reports templates.
• Ability to disable/enable requirements - Focusing on what you need
• Now you also have the ability to disable the unwanted criteria (even band-specifically) from your coverage requirements. Effectively, this improvement allows you to focus on criteria you actually think are important and to throw the unneeded ones off the zeppelin.
• Disabling criteria on a coverage requirement also removes it from the Live Requirements bar, meaning that live results are only shown for the criteria you actually care about (once again, band-specifically if you so desire).
• Reworked merging logic - Take your ingredients and put them in our new & improved blender!
• While this might not be the most visible change in 10.2.0, we have basically rebuilt our "merge" functionality so it now works better across the board with both simulated and survey projects.
• The biggest change with this feature is that you can now also merge simulated-only projects together, where as previously it wasn't quite possible (or worked in odd ways).
• Overall, we have also made the "Merge" feature comb its hair, straighten its tie and mind its manners better, because previously the "Merge" logic behavior was a little dodgy in places and its rules were a bit messy and undefined.
• Improvements:
• New criteria added to coverage requirements: Tertiary Signal Strength & Number of APs (disabled by default, though). Sorry, you guys just missed your spot in "New Features" section, but you get the first place in "Improvements" as a consolation price!
• Live Requirements now show the selected SSID and bands directly on the tool bar.
• Improved Channel Interference on Live Requirements so the results are ACTUALLY related to the selected SSID and its channels. Previously Live Requirements tried to show the worst case channel interference across all networks - and it didn't really work out.
• Removed the PING from Mini-views in the upper right corner of the application. It was effectively a duplicate of RTT field in Live Requirements (literally its next door neighbour). So, if you want to see live Ping results, look for them in Live Requirements instead.
• Changed how wall & floor attenuation is handled in Ekahau Pro. This brings the simulated results closer to reality, especially with multi-floor buildings.
• Added the ability to freely combine measured radios in different combinations. We've been playing a strict school matron for too long with arbitrary combination rules, and now it's time for us to loosen up about this!
• Added "Building Coordinates" to Actions-menu in Building-tab. Name and locate your favorite building!
• Changed default "Voice+Data" coverage requirement to "Ekahau Best Practices" and gave it new and sensible band-specific values. Yep, when uncertain about naming, slap your own name on it!
• Changed Network Health & Issues pass condition default from "2.4 OR 5" --> "2.4 AND 5".
• Specific values are now shown in the visualization tooltip headers, instead of value range (if spacing is >1). Heatmaps still show their results according to value ranges and spacing, though.
• Improved Scale Tool dialog to dynamically dodge out of the way when drawing the scale. This tool learned some tricks from its cousin in CAD import.
• Manually relocated measured APs no longer revert to their original, measured locations when the radios are separated.
• Updated GPS map projection to Mercator projection method. That is the scientific way of saying your GPS projects only need two reference points from now on!
• Ekahau Pro now checks whether the about-to-be-created document is locked BEFORE starting the report generation.
• Added ability to pick up the radio TX power from Mist and potentially other AP vendors. Previously this functionality was limited to only Cisco APs in Ekahau Pro.
• Improved Mist grouping logic.
• Improved Meraki grouping logic. Good thing that some things don't change even in these unprecedented times.
• Removed ELP listener option from Preferences. What's an ELP listener? Exactly.
• Other miscellaneous improvements.
• Fixed issues:
• Deleting all GPS points from the project at once no longer makes the project go haywire.
• Editing survey points while in Surveys-list no longer happens in SLOOOOOW motion. It's cool as a special effect, but not so much when you want to get things actually done.
• Visualization legend now responds better to coverage requirement changes in Area options.
• Packet Loss and RTT visualizations now get properly toggled off when surveys are disabled. You rascals, you.
• New antenna height will be based on the Wi-Fi radios, not the BLE radios, when linking radios together and determining their new height.
• Extended the display time of certain tooltips from five seconds to 20 seconds. No more lessons in speedreading, sorry.
• Selecting individual radios on the map works more responsively now.
• AP notes no longer disappear if you happen to add them on an AP after changing the AP model.
• Fixed an issue where Survey notes always only showed the note from the first viewed survey, when accessed through right-click menu. So if you felt like you're in Groundhog Day, this might've been one reason (but not necessarily the only reason) for that.
• Other miscellaneous fixes.
• New access points, antennas and BLE beacons:
• ExtremeWireless AP310i, AP310e, AP460i, AP460e and AP460C
• Meraki MR46E, MR76 and MR86. Improved Meraki patterns on MR42, MR45, MR46, MR52, MR53, MR55, MR56, MA-ANT-25 and MA-ANT-27
• Arista C-260, O-105E and improved C-250 patterns.
• Cambium Networks e510 and XV3-8
• D-Link DBA-2820P
• FortiAP 321E, 431F and 433F

• Huawei AirEngine 5760-10, 5760-51, 6760-X1, 6760R-51, 8760-X1-PRO and 8760R-X1
• Ruckus R550 and R850

Version 10.1.3

Release Date: April 9th, 2020

• Fixed issues:
• Fixed missing survey point editing & deleting. This feature was accidentally bumped off the Ekahau Pro train in the last release and now we picked it up again from the track side. Our apologies!
• Ekahau Pro now remembers the Ekahau Cloud login credentials better. But what was I doing right now...
• Oh, yes. We also fixed a problem with map swapping that could cause problems for project saving when used with projects from Ekahau Cloud.
• Fixed certain antenna patterns which were previously pointing 180 degrees in the wrong direction.
• Other miscellaneous fixes. And well...that's about it...erm...look there, adorable kittens!
• New access points, antennas and BLE beacons:
• Adjusted antenna gains to be more accurate on several ruckus APs: R600/610, R700/710, R720, R730 and R750.
• ExtremeWireless PTA4M4-036 and SEC6M4-036
• Lancom LX-6400

• Zyxel WAX650S, WAX510D and NWA110AX
• Known issues:
• Finally there are some stickier issues which we are continuing to investigate and we'll fix once a solution is discovered.
• Internal adapter scanning not working on macOS 10.15: An ongoing gift from Catalina (macOS 10.15), where the ability to scan network environment with internal Wi-Fi adapter is now unfortunately disabled. If internal adapter scanning on macOS is a critical feature for you, we recommend that you roll back to macOS 10.14. In the meanwhile we continue to investigate this and hope to find a way to return this undesired gift back to sender.
• Mouse wheel zooming not working on macOS (again): Due to under the hood Java changes (the code stuff, not the brew) in Ekahau Pro 10.1.2, mouse wheel zooming is now (mostly) disabled on macOS. While this is the current situation for time being, we will keep an eye on the future Java updates, so we could incorporate this feature back to Ekahau Pro as soon as we can. This issue doesn't affect Windows version.
.

Version 10.1.2

Release Date: March 17th, 2020

• Improvements:
• Improved proxy support for Ekahau Pro! Ekahau Pro now allows you to use network-related features when you're using a restricted proxy network.
• This improvement works automatically by using the operating system's proxy configurations to deal with the proxy network in question. Apologies to all engineers, no assembly required or tinkering needed!
• While we've tried to cover all the usual proxies out there, there might still be some scenarios we missed and which might not work. Even so, don't worry, we will keep improving things!
• If you run into one of these unfortunate scenarios, feel free to contact us at support@ekahau.com!
• Notes-tools can now be also found in the Survey-tab. Notes-tools location was also slightly changed, just to keep you guys sharp ;)
• AP roaming no longer leaves such large gaps in the PING results - thus improving RTT and Packet Loss visualizations. Basically, PING is now less absent-minded and remembers quicker what it was supposed to do.
• NIC-300 can now scan U-NII-3 channels on "Europe" regulatory domain.
• Ability to disable labels from attenuation areas in template reports with an additional parameter: "show-label": "true/false". See user guide for more information!
• Other miscellaneous tweaks
• Fixed issues:
• Adjusted the size of Radio Edit dialogs, so they will better fit on lower resolution displays (or ones with larger scaling). Not everyone have the pixels to waste, you know?
• Snapshot feature fixed when using MacOS 10.15.
• Fixed an issue where antenna orientations occasionally went haywire during merging.
• Visualization toolbar now properly disappears when a survey is started and makes a comeback when the survey ends. Previously the toolbar did it's disappearing act the other way around. Such a faux pas!
• Legacy "1st/2nd/3rd strongest" visualization settings will no longer be applied to Signal Strength (since you cannot change them). Default settings will be used instead.
• Fixed an issue where adding multiple maps while displaying a heatmap resulted in an error.
• You can no longer select the BLE beacons from the map when they are disabled from View-menu. Sorry to inform you, it wasn't an easter egg.
• Adjusted reporting so it can better handle certain emojis. Yep, emojis...again.
• Zooming on the Frequency Spectrum view in undocked Survey Inspector no longer mess up with the channel numbers on the long waterfall to the left. Simple, eh?
• Channel Planner no longer refuses to work when used with measured APs and disabled "Disabled 2.4Ghz Radios" setting.
• Interferer icons are now displayed correctly in one-click reporting.
• Interferer icons also rotate correctly in reporting, when the map is rotated.
• Tweaked Ubiquiti grouping logic to work better with newer AP models. What's a release without grouping logic tweaks? No fun at all!
• Aruba grouping logic was also improved to work better with newer AP models. Does the fun ever stop?!
• And to top things off, we've also tweaked some AP patterns. Oh baby!

Version 10.1.1

Release Date: December 19th, 2019

• Improvements:
• Added new "ap-mounting" tags for reporting the access point or radio mounting type.
• Added channel 144 to U-NII-2E selection block in channel configuration dialog.
• Access point list scroll bar is now always visible at all widths.
• You can now access the "Multi AP Edit" dialog from right-click menu on the map view - provided you have selected multiple APs on the map!
• Changed AP selection drop-down menu so that it is no longer case-sensitive.
• Added additional warning in Crop & Rotate mode when cropping out map elements. Remember kids, you cannot UNDO deleted surveys, even when they are deleted by Crop & Rotate!
• Your mandatory grouping logic improvements
• Miscellaneous minor improvements
• Fixed issues:
• Added missing adapter offset settings to the secondary & tertiary signal strength visualizations. Their invitations to 10.1.0 release party were lost in the mail - and we're sorry for that!
• You can now again manually change the scanned band and channels on DBx2 & DBx3 spectrum analyzers. Shout out to the old skool out there! ;)
• Reported antenna angles were displayed incorrectly in 10.1.0. This problem is now fixed.
• Fixed a problem where the auto-scroll during surveys didn't work properly when the map was rotated.
• Disabled Sidekick Import/Export while in Crop & Rotate mode.
• Corrected a problem where the new Multi AP Edit dialog didn't open, when you had only non-first radios selected from the APs.
• Fixed an issue where network issues visualization was occasionally taking its values from an incorrect band.
• Previously certain map elements didn't rotate properly when the map was rotated. Everything turns out correctly now.
• While in text field, using backspace and other keyboard shortcuts on MacOS also affected the map view, for example by unintentionally deleting APs. This is NOT the type of multi-tasking we want to support!
• Access point labels no longer get shy and slip under other map elements in template reporting.
• Certain tooltips occasionally showed only null values for coverage requirements. This is no longer the case.
• Ekahau Pro reporting couldn't handle certain type of emojis and failed. This fix improves the situation with the emojis. Yep...emojis.
• Miscellaneous bug fixes
• New access points, antennas and BLE beacons:
• ExtremeWireless AP305c

Version 10.1.0

Release Date: November 21st, 2019

• New features:
• Map cropping for Ekahau Pro: A feature formerly known as "White Space B-Gone"
• In 10.1.0 version we are introducing Map Cropping to Ekahau Pro. This feature allows you to quickly crop the map view to areas that actually interest you and get rid of unnecessary white space on floor plans.
• Map cropping works across the board on all types of floor plans: bitmaps, DWGs and PDFs alike!
• Did you accidentally crop the map to size of a doll house? Don't worry, you can also easily adjust the cropped map back to its original size.
• Map rotating for Ekahau Pro: Goes together with map cropping like peanut butter & jam!
• All your floor plans aren't looking in the same direction? Don't worry, with click of a button, you can now adjust the orientation of your floor plan inside Ekahau Pro.
• With our new Map Rotate functionality you can easily rotate map in 90 degree steps, making building alignment easier and reported images more consistent with each other.
• This new map rotating feature is so streamlined and easy to use that this third bullet point is practically pointless!
• Secondary & Tertiary Coverage: Looking at coverage with new eyes
• We have added two new coverage visualizations to 10.1.0 release: Secondary Signal Strength and Tertiary Signal Strength. As you might guess, these visualizations display the second and third strongest RSSI on the map.
• You can configure and report each of these signal strength visualizations independently from each other. That helps you to customize these new visualizations to your liking and to make them distinct from each other.
• This customizability also extends to reporting Secondary & Tertiary Signal Strength. Each visualization can be reported separately, but they still have all the same reporting options at their disposal as the good old (Primary) Signal Strength visualization.
• Improved Radio Edit Dialog: Tweak Hard!
• We have given our Radio Edit dialog a serious facelift with aim set squarely at better usability, readability and user-friendliness. And better looks to boot!
• The beauty is not only skin deep here. We've also added many new handy improvements to the dialog, such as: Ability to change AP model, easy-to-change mounting, search field for antennas and infinitely better tilt control.
• Even more improved Multi-Radio Edit Dialog: Tweak Harder!
• Our old "Edit Selected Simulated Radios" was...let's say old-fashioned. Like with previous Radio Edit Dialog, we've given this dialog a radical facelift with improvements to its usability and appearance - but that's not even the half of it!
• We've changed the fundamentals of this Multi-Radio Edit and how it works. This dialog now looks and works the same way as the Radio Edit Dialog - but it also deftly takes into account different AP and radio selections that are unique to this multi-edit dialog!
• New "Edit Multiple Simulated Access Points" allows you to freely edit any amount, any type and any combination of simulated access points. Dialog also now guides you if there are different values in parameters, conflicting settings and radio-specific changes.
• Radio disabling for Channel Planner
• This is a quickie but goodie! Basically, we've added an additional setting to Channel Planner, which automatically shuts down 2.4Ghz radios if their coverage proves excessive for the current coverage requirement.
• Radio disabling on Channel Planner is an easy way to do a sanity check on your manually built simulated network to see if you might have too much coverage or too many radios active on 2.4Ghz band.
• Updated CAD support: Party with those DWGs like its year 2018!
• We got off our butts and updated the CAD Import to support the DWG formats up to 2018 versions. Therefore, many newer CAD files rudely denied before by Ekahau Pro should now work without problems.
• High DPI support: Looking sharp(er)!
• We've have finally enabled High DPI mode in Ekahau Pro! "What's High DPI mode?", you might ask with a furrowed brow. "High DPI Mode" is a shorthand for improved graphics scaling for Ekahau Pro.
• Previously Ekahau Pro (and ESS) has had problems on Windows with scaling the graphical components in high-resolution displays or when using different scaling options for the display - resulting in rather blurry and soft outlook for Ekahau Pro. High DPI mode now enables proper scaling for the graphical elements, helping them remain sharp and detailed in all environments.
• Wait a minute! If this is such a great improvement, why is it at the bottom of the feature list? Well, my eagle-eyed friend, High DPI mode still has some Java-related complications with multi-display environments and display disconnections, which can result in graphical glitches. We will certainly continue to improve this improvement!
• For time being, we have added High DPI mode as a secondary display mode for this release, which can be used through a secondary executable called "Ekahau Pro (High DPI).exe" in the installation folder. Please try it out and see if it works out for you!
• Improvements:
• Ekahau Pro no longer gets flustered with stadium or other high-density environments. Slowdowns and freeze-ups in such high-density networks are now drastically reduced. And further optimizations are underway!
• Added a new default setting for Channel Interference: Worst Channel + Association Limit. This is an expanded version of old "Worst Channel" setting and it also shows only the radios which the client is likely to be associated to in each given location. Old settings are also still available!
• AP selection indicators are back! AP list now shows a blue banner on top/bottom depicting where the selected APs are on the list. Additionally, you can also click on the banner and it will scroll you to the next selected AP on the list!
• Spectrum utilization is now called Channel Utilization in Survey Inspector!
• ...but more importantly, we have also improved Channel Utilization so that it more accurately shows when the channel is getting saturated. Previously, concentrated and harmful interference spikes showed abnormally low utilization percentages, even when they were able to kill off the channel. Now we are calculating the utilization more realistically for these type of narrow signals, making this parameter more useful. This bullet point has received "The Longest Bullet Point" award. Applauds, please!
• Only two alignment points are needed now for aligning a floor in Ekahau Pro. Strictly scientifically speaking this makes aligning buildings 33,33% easier!
• Active survey route is no longer affected by View-menu Survey-filters. This means that you can de-clutter your map by hiding the existing surveys and then do your surveys on a clean & pristine map.
• Visualization options dialog has been redesigned with its usability and looks improved.
• CAD import dialog and map view has been converted to JavaFX with updated looks and usability.
• Pop-up messages and warnings have been given a facelift. White is the new black.
• Changed the outlook of the scale tool. Blue is now the new white.
• Radios are now always kept in the same order on an access point, no matter what changes you make on the radio.
• Sidekick Wi-Fi adapter names have been translated to non-Jargonese in reporting.
• Improved consistency in the access point antenna patterns. Previously some patterns displayed a rather loose interpretation of reality, but now all patterns should be more comparable with each other.
• Miscellaneous UI changes
• Fixed issues:
• Further improvements on reporting/exporting high resolution floor plans. High resolution floor plans should no longer cause reporting to crash.
• Fixed an issue where spectrum information on short surveys wouldn't show up in the spectrum visualizations.
• Fixed an issue where Interferers visualization and Survey inspector interference results weren't matching up.
• Corrected a problem where AP list could in certain situations show bluetooth beacons and vice versa.
• Multiple cable notes at the same exact location on the map no longer cause cables to be shown incorrectly in reporting.
• "Capacity: Clients per AP" heatmap tooltip no longer calculates status the incorrectly in certain cases.
• Tool tip font sizes have been made more consistent in Ekahau Pro. User-friendliness improved by 1,7%!
• Adjustments to example report templates.
• Miscellaneous grouping logic fixes

Version 10.0.4

Release Date: October 1st, 2019

• Fixed issues:
• IMPORTANT! Fixed an issue where Stop & Go surveys were often not recording scan data from Channel 1. Now the scanning process has been tweaked to ensure that all channels are fully scanned at least once.
• Optimized survey and scanning performance on Stadium or otherwise very high-density projects. Also, we will be introducing even further optimization on Stadium projects in the future releases!
• Walls with defined height no longer stop working when used in aligned buildings. We went to a virtual hardware store and stocked up on better wall materials!
• Radios with 160Mhz bandwidth are now shown correctly in Ekahau Pro. Previously bandwidth went only up to 80Mhz because we were using older draft of 802.11ac technology for our information elements and moving over to up to date IEEE802.11-2016 standard fixes this problem. Hey, are you sleeping?
• New access points, antennas and BLE beacons:
• Cisco C9115e + AIR-ANT2524DW-R and Cisco C9120e + AIR-ANT2524DW-R

Version 10.0.3

Release Date: September 6th, 2019

• Improvements:
• To warp speed, captain! Significant improvements to visualization load times ahead! Visualization times are now up 3x faster on large simulated projects. Smaller projects also benefit from these improvements...but in a smaller way.
• Enabled U-NII-3 channels on "Europe" regulatory domain.
• From Europe we kept on trucking to Mexico! U-NII-2E channels are now enabled in "Mexico" regulatory domain.
• Improved grouping logic for Sophos access points.
• Added grouping logic for MikroTik access points.
• Added grouping logic for Arista / Mojo access points. These things still keep coming?!
• Improved Meraki grouping logic.
• Fixed issues:
• Fixed an issue where Stop & Go survey wouldn't occasionally receive data from all adapters.
• Corrected a glitch where edited notes always jumped to the end of the list from their original places. While time paradoxes and out-of-order conversations are fascinating puzzles, we still came to prefer understandable and logical order with our notes.
• Other miscellaneous fixes.
• New access points, antennas and BLE beacons:
• Cisco ANT-2-WLAN-D-O

Version 10.0.2

Release Date: June 4th, 2019

• Improvements:
• Improved predictive visualizations in high attenuation environments. RSSI results no longer get cut off too early in corridors and other small spaces.
• New capacity areas are now assigned with the current global coverage requirement by default. You need no longer manually change the requirement each time you make a new area if you just want areas to follow the global coverage requirement.
• Introducing new, enhanced and properly scaling new countdown timer for Stop & Go surveys! As a bonus the counter no longer gets hidden underneath the measurement points when view is zoomed in.
• Added channel 144 to Australian regulatory domain. Greetings from Finland to Down Under!
• Implemented scaling and adjusted colors on survey route highlights (used on Throughput). Survey highlights no longer try to grandstand the poor old survey routes and drown them underneath.
• Optimizations on image reporting and exporting when dealing with very high resolution images.
• Optimized antenna loading during application start-up.
• Improved how the visualization tool bar gets truncated when user reduces the size of the main window. No more truncating three letter labels into three dots - it's all functional and slightly boring now.
• Simulated AP ordering now works with conventional logic, where 1 is followed by 2, not by 10.
• Further improvements when survey handles (white dots) are shown on surveys. Now the handles are only hidden while using Survey Inspector. In 10.0.1 we got a little too carried away with hiding the handles, sorry about that!
• Added interference signatures for 5Ghz drone FPV cameras.
• Fixed issues:
• Spectrum waterfall in detached RTFM dialog no longer starts to loop same results after few minutes. Nobody likes reruns.
• Real-time Frequency Monitor no longer shows RSSI values with different methods in the timeline graph and in the Radios-table. Now both of these views show RSSI using average values, resulting in more unified results.
• Associated Access Point visualization no longer randomizes the assigned heatmap colors every time when project is opened or reported, but instead keeps using the same colors consistently.
• Addressed a problem where exclusion areas were affecting heatmap results. Clarification: Exclusion areas shouldn't affect heatmap results.
• Fixed "Scroll map while surveying" toggle in Preferences.
• Modified coverage requirements can now be reported with "Use-requirement" tag.
• Fixed an issue where attenuation area and wall changes occasionally stopped being applied on the map view.
• Wall & attenuation area color picker no longer splits its focus with other setting fields.
• Certain attenuation areas and wall setting changes could end up in an infinite refresh loop. We decided to stop this merry-go-round and fixed this issue.
• Fixed an issue where wall and attenuation area settings didn't properly convert units from feet to meters - or vice versa. Walls & attenuation areas, can't you just behave yourselves already?
• Improved Meraki grouping logic.
• Measurement points in Survey Inspector no longer remain on the map when surveys have been toggled OFF from View-menu.
• We also had to teach Ekahau Pro some manners about lying, because Sidekick updates occasionally said that update failed when it actually succeeded.
• Fixed an issue where visualization tooltip coverage requirement status didn't always match the actual heatmap values. Summary: Less handwaving, more accuracy.
• Fixed certain color glitches on linked antennas in AP view when changing units in Preferences.
• Adjusted AP icon sizes in Example Site Survey Project report template to be more sensible.
• Auto-Planner no longer fails to run if there is exactly one wall segment on the map. Weird, very weird, but true.
• Other miscellaneous fixes.
• New access points, antennas and BLE beacons:
• Cisco C9120
• Allnet ALL-WAPC0436AC

• Truecom Telesoft Ray Vega
• Adjusted Ruckus R730 antenna patterns

Version 10.0.1

Release Date: April 24th, 2019

• Improvements:
• Antenna linking introduced to Ekahau Pro! Now antenna direction, height and tilt are linked by default in APs. When you change one of the aforementioned parameters in one radio, it will also change in all other radios of the AP as well! If you want to break the linking, you can freely unlink APs in the Actions-menu.
• Improved AP icon sizes in reporting and image export. We noticed that AP icons often appeared too large in the reporting, so we put them on a diet and now they should be much more modestly sized and consistent across the board.
• Improved label sizes in reporting and image export. What's Hardy without his Laurel? Label sizes were somewhat too small and slim in the previous version, so we made them bigger and more in line with the new AP icon sizes.
• Improved and more robust building coordinate system. Among other things, differently angled floors now work better, and you can also use only two alignment points to align your floors.
• You can now assign any available AP model to surveyed access points. Previously you were able to select only models from the detected vendor's selection, which proved too limiting in practice.
• Streamlined Channel Interference visualization options: Adjacent channel mode selection is removed (new default: Loose) and Max Operating Channel (new default: Max bandwidth).
• White survey handles are now hidden when using Survey Inspector to examine the survey measurements on the map. Previously measurement points could get lost under the survey handles - but no more!
• Fixed issues:
• Fixed a critical issue where you weren't able to do surveys in Ekahau Standard version of the application. No jokes here, we're just very sorry for this oversight.
• Rectangular attenuation areas can now be saved to again to the project files. No, we don't think this feature is too "square" for our new and hip Ekahau Pro.
• Scale tool no longer multiplies values with decimals by 10 when using Ekahau Pro in German or French.
• Insta-tool tip toggle introduced in 10.0.0 now works better on Windows. Holding the toggle (shortcut key: T) down now allows you to immediately display tool tips on the map wherever you poke your cursor!
• Heatmap slots no longer get stretched and distorted in certain type of projects with an aligned building. While we like to stay flexible, but we don't want our heatmaps to take up after us.
• Reporting and image export no longer fail if attenuation area labels are toggled OFF.
• Exception fixed in Data Rate visualization which could occasionally send our reporting to a never-ending journey. And not one those magical and fantastical journeys - just a journey that. Never. Ends.
• Fixed an issue where certain type of SVG images made our reporting fail on macOS.
• Image export no longer runs out of memory with certain type of higher resolution images.
• Hybrid projects with both measured and simulated access points sometimes produced odd heatmaps or disregarded some access points. Now we've injected an added dose of sense into this release, fixing this problem.
• Access point power and height fields no longer show up in wrong colors after changing unit of measurements.
• Helped BLE labels to make up their mind when the beacon is disabled. Previously we were showing both OFF and Bluetooth icon in the radio label and it got messy! Now BLE radios show only OFF label, like their Wi-Fi cousins.
• Improved Cloud project download reliability.
• AP text and model fields now keep their focus properly and don't split it up with other elements.
• Other miscellaneous fixes.
• New access points, antennas and BLE beacons:
• Cisco AP1840
• Aerohive AP30
• Aruba AP-535
• AccelTex ATS-OP-245-6-4
• Netgear WAC540
• Terrawave M6045055DMD1820, M6040060O2D1802RS, M060060M1D43607C, M6060060D3D3620T, M6060060D3D3607T, M6060060D3D3602T, M60600060P3D63602, M6085085D3D1220, M6090012D3D41806, T58185D0006 and T58125DM0006D
• Notes:
• Because a dog ate our homework, we forgot to mention in 10.0.0 release notes that we have now relocated the GPS surveys to their own survey mode under Continuous and Stop & Go survey modes. Just select "GPS Survey" in the survey tool and you'll find all the familiar GPS related tools there!

Version 10.0.0

Release Date: April 9th, 2019

• Welcome to Ekahau Pro 10! This is one of the biggest releases in our application's history with loads of new features, improvements and changes. So, grab a beverage of your choice and sit down in a comfy chair - and let's get started!
• New features:
• Complete map view overhaul: Working with maps is now 486% more fun!!
• Whole map view and all of its objects, areas, visualizations and rest of the good stuff have been converted to JavaFX. This new framework provides the map view more performance, reliability, future possibilities - and of course completely new looks!
• All the map view elements have been given a facelift, making all elements and heatmaps look more streamlined and consistent with each other.
• Furthermore, as a new feature we've added scalable elements to the new map view. This means that elements, such as APs and survey routes, become larger or smaller depending on scale of the project or the zoom level you're currently using. Previously all elements remained the same size despite the scale or zoom level, often creating messy situations at the higher zoom levels where all the same sized elements clumped together! Element scaling removes this problem and makes the objects adjust better and more realistically to their project environments.
• Despite all these changes, all of the map view elements still work the same way they did before, even if they have new looks. If there are any particular changes how map view elements work, they will be described in these release notes.
• Since this is a humongous change under-the-hood with almost 3 billion lines of code changed (not true, but still a lot), there may still be glitches despite the 300+ person, months-long beta program (actual numbers). Please let us know about them. How should bugs be reported? Well, there’s an old saying: “If there’s something wrong, in the neighborhood, who you gonna call? @ekamikko!“
• 802.11ax support - for both surveys and planning
• 802.11ax is now fully supported for both planning and survey purposes.
• Only exception to the "fully supported" rule is that we haven't yet fully implemented 802.11ax client devices to model capacity for them. But then again, we haven’t seen many yet. Once we see more Wi-Fi 6 / OFDMA access points and client devices, we’ll add it in. Before that, we won’t really know how they truly work. Makes it kinda hard to accurately model something you’ve never seen in action.
• Interference detection & Interferers visualization
• The keenest ones of you might've been aware of interference detection as a hidden beta feature in our previous releases. Now the interference detection is ready to kick off its training wheels and get out in the world as a fully-fledged feature.
• Interference detection detects non-Wifi interference sources and displays them in our Real-Time Frequency Monitor (both in Live and Survey views). Each detected interference source is also named for easier troubleshooting.
• We are also introducing a new visualization called "Interferers". This visualization shows the areas where non-Wifi interference was detected and what kind of devices were producing it.
• Got interferers we can’t detect (other than specific Bluetooth stuff)? Let us know, and we’ll add it in!
• Ekahau Cloud support for Ekahau Pro: Epic story of Ekahau Cloud File Storage & Collaboration of Ekahau Pro and Ekahau Survey
• In Ekahau Pro 10 users can now use our new Ekahau Cloud service to store and share their project files. This also allows seamless project sharing between Ekahau Pro and our new Ekahau Survey for iPad.
• You can access Ekahau Cloud service from the new cloud icon in top-left toolbar or from File-menu. Ekahau Cloud account needs to be created before you can use this feature.
• Ekahau Connect subscription is needed for this feature and for Ekahau Cloud account.
• Sidekick File Storage for Ekahau Pro: The world’s largest USB thumb drive enabled!
• Ekahau Pro 10 also allows you to save your project files to Ekahau Sidekick™ for more convient transport. This feature also allows users to transfer the projects between Ekahau Pro and the new Ekahau Survey for iPad.
• You can access Ekahau Sidekick™ Import/Export from the new Sidekick icon in the top-left toolbar or from File-menu. This feature is only usable while Sidekick is connected to the computer.
• As a sudden plot twist, you can you use this feature freely in any version of Ekahau Pro! Go ahead and give it a try!
• Complete access point list overhaul: More awesome-er and useful-er!
• We have also converted the whole access point list to JavaFX framework. This gave us a great excuse for flexing our artistic muscles and redesign the access point list to be more streamlined, lighter and easier to use.
• As a main new feature for the new access point list, we've now separated access point names, vendors and models. We are no longer packing all this info in one text field, instead now AP vendors/models have a field of their own. This allows you to instantly change the models of your simulated APs, assign specific AP models for surveyed APs and to bring actual AP models to your reports (instead of just individual antennas).
• We also have lots of new ideas available to us now that this groundwork has been laid out. Look out for the further improvements on the AP list in the future!
• Complete visualization engine overhaul: Faster and better heatmaps!
• More exclamation mark worthy improvements! We have basically rewritten our visualization engine and these improvements will enhance the accuracy and performance of the heatmaps - even if the results might look slightly different than before.
• Visualizations are now based on hexagonal slots with more slots allowed on any given map. This allows for increased level of details on larger maps and more accurate heatmap drawing.
• We're also introducing a new visualization mode called "Inspector". Inspector mode allows user to view individual scans and their values from the map, when you need to know the exact scan results. Check this new mode from visualization options!
• Visualization legend 2.0
• Alright, it might be cheating a little to mention this as a separate thing from map view overhaul, but we think it's awesome enough to bear mentioning! Visualization legends have been improved significantly in Ekahau Pro 10.0.0.
• Visualization legends now correlate one-to-one with the actual heatmaps, only showing the same colors as used in the actual visualizations. We've also added descriptive values on the legend to elaborate what values the different color blocks represent. Easy and fun...well, at least easy.
• Old rainbow-hued visualization legend hasn't gone away completely. The old warhorse has been harnessed in a new role as the settings legend, where you can adjust the main legend's cut-offs and color ranges. Check out the legend options!
• New multi-note system for Ekahau Pro
• Ekahau Pro 10 also introduces a new multi-notes implementation. You're now able to write multiple entries with multiple images on single note on the map, APs and other familiar notes locations.
• The new chat style note dialog allows multiple different users to have discussion within the same project, making collaboration that much easier.
• Multi-notes also work seamlessly between Ekahau Pro and our new Ekahau Survey for iPad (for note types that Ekahau Survey supports).
• EDIT-tool 2.0 and other toolbar improvements
• Yes, yes, we've now converted both Planning & Survey toolbars to JavaFX and gave them a new lick of paint and slickness. However, the more exciting new feature here is the improved EDIT-tool!
• New EDIT-tool works the same way as before, but we've also added an ability to adjust selected objects from EDIT-tool. For example, you can now change wall types or AP models of the selected wall segments or APs directly from EDIT-tool. Try it out!
• Improvements:
• Product name has been changed from Ekahau Site Survey to Ekahau Pro. Application default installation path can be different and you need to remember to search for "Ekahau Pro" to find the application from now on. Otherwise, this doesn't affect the application functionality in any way - except it gave us a great excuse to create a dashing new starting splash screen!
• Ekahau Pro can now also estimate the best location for APs even outside the access point routes and place them there. Break your chains, surveyed APs, break your chains!
• Omni-directional antennas are no longer shown antenna orientation arrows when they're in their default positions. Adjusting vertical tilt will reveal the orientation arrows again. Default antenna orientation is still to the absolute north of the map.
• Mini-views and live requirements have been restyled and converted to JavaFX.
• Adapters and mini-views are now disabled when user is in Planning-mode. When you enter Survey-mode or Survey Inspector, they will be enabled again. This is to avoid unnecessary interference to general network use (especially with internal adapters) and to streamline the user interface.
• Does this sound familiar already? Building-tab has been converted to JavaFX. Aside from new unified technical framework, the building-tab still works the same way as it has before - but might look a bit different.
• Added mouse scroll wheel zooming to MacOS.
• Converted antennas from old XML format to new JSON format. Format is now different, but relevant parts still work the same way.
• Removed all the APs and antennas using legacy technologies from Ekahau Pro. In this case legacy technologies mean 802.11a, 802.11b and 802.11g. We deemed that these APs and antennas are no longer relevant for new projects and removing them helps us to concentrate our AP offering on modern devices and reduce the cluttering in the AP list. Old projects with legacy APs & antennas will still work normally.
• APs with only internal antennas can no longer use other external antennas. This change is made to help user to avoid making a incompatible antenna combinations by accident.
• Replaced earlier simulated noise calculations with a simple noise floor setting (adjustable in Noise visualization --> Visualization Options). Just enter the expected noise floor on both frequencies and - voilà - you're done! Method used earlier wasn't bad by any means, but it was hard to understand in practice and that amounted to non-significant amount of head scratching among users.
• Added distance based extrapolation slider to Survey-only projects. This shows the exact distance, in meters or feet, how far away from the measurements the heatmaps are expanded.
• Contours changed OFF by default in Data Rate, Throughput, Packet Loss, RTT and Jitter. Contours in these visualizations tend to look like car crashes instead of helping people get better understanding what's happening - hence defaulting to OFF is a better option.
• Improved visualization tooltip styling - with a hint of transparency.
• Added "Insta-tooltip" toggle. By pressing "T" you'll be able to get the tooltip show up instantly and you can use that to check values quickly from all over the map.
• Decreased visualization tooltip delay - both when they appear AND disappear. Tooltips no longer overstay their welcome after you start moving your cursor. P.S Darn you Mikko, I wanted the delay LONGER not shorter. Love, Jussi
• Removed non-selectable 5Ghz channels from certain visualization settings. While channels such as 34, 38 and so on are valid channels, they aren't used actively in Wi-Fi setups and therefore shouldn't be selectable in Ekahau Pro either.
• Added AP model as a search criterion in Quick Select. Thanks, new AP list!
• Rearranged defaults views in external RTFM view: radios are now in the bottom, density view on top and waterfall still serenely flows on the left.
• Improved visualization drop-down list tooltips. Less inaccuracy, more clarity!
• Harmonized Signal Strength and Noise settings to match settings in Ekahau Survey on iPad.
• Changed visualization contour color to white in order to harmonize the looks between Ekahau Pro and Ekahau Survey for iPad.
• Changed visualization naming. "Channel Overlap" is now "Channel Interference" and "Interference/Noise" is now "Noise".
• Sidekick numerical battery levels match better with the battery level icon. Optimistic icon no longer shows almost full battery icon, while pessimistic numbers say that only 15% of the battery remains.
• Removed access to Devices-dialog from Project-menu.
• Changed phrasing from "Delete" to "Clear from map" when removing surveyed APs from the map. After all, we are not virtually annihilating the APs and scattering their dust to the wind, but instead only gently setting them aside in the "Not placed on any map" section. What comes to simulated APs - we're definitely annihilating them (with possibility of UNDO)!
• Fixed an issue where on macOS right-click menus didn't work for any other tool apart from EDIT-tool.
• AP drop-down list search field gives proper error notification if the search doesn't yield any answers.
• Fixed issues:
• Drop-down lists and pop-up menus no longer close and lose focus when cursor is moved on the map view.
• Edges of contours no longer twist around when the visualization's cut-off is being changed. Disappointment to ardent lovers of chaos theory, but probably an improvement for the rest of us.
• Antenna selections no longer shows 5Ghz antennas for 802.11n radios on 2.4Ghz channels.
• Mouse cursor no longer gets weirdly garbled on macOS.
• Ekahau Pro no longer automatically sets scale when saving a project without a scale. We still appreciated your initiative even if you were wrong most of the time, ESS!
• Certain PDF images no longer extend over their white background canvas.
• Fixed Mikko’s addiction to gadgets.
• Fixes on Samsung grouping logic.
• Fixes on Juniper grouping logic.
• Fixes on Fortinet grouping logic.

• Updated Aerohive AP230 antenna gains

Version 9.2.6

Release Date: February 20th, 2019

• Improvements:
• A critical Java update included in this version! What's so critical about this then? Hold on to your seats or ease the tension by reading to the first item on the "Fixed issues" section.
• Mist access points names are now displayed in ESS.
• Cisco Prime export has been updated to include all the latest Cisco access points.
• Added separate filter for "Exclusion areas" in View-menu.
• Alignment points are no longer removed from a floor if it's removed from a building. ESS only wants to help you, but sometimes it's a bit too eager for its own good!
• Selecting BLE tool now properly toggles the "Bluetooth" filter automatically ON from View-menu
• Fixed issues:
• Fixed a critical crash issue related to switching between applications on macOS 10.14 (Mojave). Hence the aforementioned Java update!
• Projects can no longer be saved with broken surveys without route points. The existential question here is that is a survey a survey without a route? Our answer is a definite "No".
• Access point antenna orientation arrows scaling fixed on reporting. No more comically large or small arrows - only safe, visible and slightly boring moderate sized ones.
• About-dialog no longer shows incorrect license information if an adapter, which ESS license has been attached to, is disconnected.
• New access points, antennas and BLE beacons:
• Aerohive AP122X
• Aruba AP-515
• Ruckus E510, R320 and R730

Version 9.2.5

Release Date: October 24th, 2018

• Improvements:
• New drivers for SA-1 adapters! This should help out with situations where ESS drops scanning results, especially when using two adapters.
• Lowered minimum allowed Tx power on access points and BLE beacons to -30dBm/0.001mW.
• Relocating "My" access points doesn't move the manually placed "My" access points anymore. We slapped ESS on the wrist, so it will keep its paws off your locations now.
• Set maximum allowed values for Tx power at 60dBm/1000 000mW. To Infity and Beyond - no more!
• Empty surveys are now also visible in Surveys-list. This makes them easier to spot and to delete, if necessary.
• Fixed issues:
• SA-1 adapters showed duplicates for BSSIDs that were using wider channel width. ESS took its medication and doesn't have the double vision anymore.
• Coverage planning visualization didn't always refresh automatically after you selected the visualization. Now visualization gets refreshed immediately.
• Tweaked how the auto-planner works with certain kind of areas. Hint: Now it works better!
• New access points, antennas and BLE beacons:
• Updated Cisco AP4800 antenna patterns
• Everest Networks AP1002Oi, AP1004NRe and AP1004WRi
• Huber & Suhner SENCITY Omni-S MiMo
• Lancom IN-H180 and IN-Q180
• Siemens Siemens Scalance W786 + ANT-793-8DJ x 2 + ANT-795-6MP and ANT-795-6MP

Version 9.2.4

Release Date: September 26th, 2018

• Improvements:
• Adjustable visualization legend added to Coverage Planning visualization. We won't blame you if earlier you mistook this visualization for an abstract art simulator!
• Grey-out values are now clearly and visibly shown in reported visualization legends and exported images.
• Added a counter to alignment point tool to show the required amount of alignment points. Remember, you need at least three to party!
• Alignment point tool also now shows notification if your current map is not yet in a building.
• Changed how the area sizes are calculated when there are other areas inside them. Now the size of areas-within-areas are subtracted from larger area's size. Enough areas for you yet? Areas!
• Fine-tuned warning dialog text fonts and sizes, so they aren't all over the place.
• Disabled AP filters (All/My/Other/Selected) in Coverage Planning visualization. This visualization is only for planning and simulated elements, so the filters aren't very useful there.
• Minor tweaks to visualization legends in exported images.
• Fixed issues:
• Fixed an issue where measured throughput values appeared inflated after saving a project. Previous false results are also auto-corrected in ESS 9.2.4. We're very sorry if we revoked your bragging rights!
• Manually relocated APs no longer get moved during merging.
• Corrected a problem where example project files weren't openable in evaluation mode. You can find these projects in Documents\Ekahau Site Survey\Projects\Examples (or your local equivalent!). Enjoy the tasting menu!
• Removing an AP from the map now correctly removes "manually moved" status from the AP. This allows AP to be correctly auto-located again on the map.
• View-menu "Bluetooth" filter now also removes Bluetooth antennas from the map.
• "Bluetooth" is now also toggled ON automatically if you select Bluetooth tool or add a new Bluetooth device on the map. No more stealth beacons flying under radar!
• Visualizations now refresh correctly even when Signal Prediction has been turned OFF and you're using My/Other AP filters.
• Turning OFF APs now affects the visualizations in Coverage Planning visualization.
• Disabled and hid unnecessary visualization options in Coverage Planning visualization. We appreciate buttons and sliders as much as the next guy, but even we have a limit for that.
• Radio TX power now properly resets to default values when changing APs, starting a new project or restarting ESS.
• New access points, antennas and BLE beacons:
• Aerohive AP630, AP650 and AP650X
• Aruba AP-375 and AP-377
• Ruckus i100
• Ubiquiti NanoBeam AC Gen2, AM-5AC21-60 and AM-5AC22-45

• TCi Wireless TCANT420 and TCANT442
• Zyxel NWA1302-AC and WAC6552D-S
• Updated LANCOM LN-830acn dual Wireless AP patterns

Version 9.2.3

Release Date: August 8th, 2018

• Fixed issues:
• Fixes issue in spectrum data handling, Spectrum Channel Power visualization and reporting did not work in certain cases.
• Unicode control characters in access point names or SSIDs resulted in errors when generating reports, this is now resolved.
• Channel numbers in reports were not printed in correct font size, now the numbers fill their bounding boxes properly and are easier to read
• AP Notes icon now indicates note content status correctly
• Antenna patterns are no longer hidden when an access point is selected
• New access points, antennas and BLE beacons:
• Added some missing BLE beacons to existing Aruba APs
• Alcatel-Lucent OAW-AP1201H
• Cambium Networks cnPilot E700

Version 9.2.2

Release Date: July 18th, 2018

• Fixed issues:
• Fixes issues related to defective object references after migrating project to version 9.2.0 or later.
• Adding coverage areas have caused issues in certain cases. This is now resolved.
• Certain Wi-Fi adapter issues during survey may have resulted in an empty survey without clear indication of a problem.

Version 9.2.1

Release Date: July 10th, 2018

• Improvements:
• Added a visualization list tool tip for Coverage Planning (English only, rest of the translations will be added later).
• Fixed issues:
• Adding new floors to a building stopped projects from working in certain cases. Issue's now fixed and building construction is back on track in ESS!
• Fixed an issue where AP height changes weren't properly saved to the project in ESS 9.2.0.
• Issue where channel planner for selected APs affected APs only in the currently shown building is now fixed. Channel plans for selected APs are now applied to all floors and all buildings.
• Surveys can now be merged on the same map again without having exactly the same scale on both projects. Momentary lapse of reason from us in ESS 9.2.0, sorry about that!

Version 9.2.0

Release Date: June 29th, 2018

• New features:
• Bluetooth visualizations and devices now available in ESS!
• New "Bluetooth coverage" visualization allows user to see what kind of coverage their BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) devices and beacons have and how they overlap with each other.
• Added new device types in ESS: Integrated BLE devices and stand-alone BLE beacons. You can use these devices to create your own simulated plan for your Bluetooth needs!
• Only predictive planning is currently supported for Bluetooth. ESS doesn't yet support taking Bluetooth surveys or live measurements. You must always leave room for a sequel!
• New "Coverage Planning" visualization added to ESS
• Wi-Fi coverage planning finally supported in ESS! Just kidding, instead our new "Coverage Planning" visualization allows users to view the coverage of an AP in real-time while it's being moved on the map.
• "Coverage Planning" also takes all environmental obstacles, such as walls and attenuation areas, into consideration when it's displaying the real-time coverage for the AP. This allows you to easily choose the optimal spot for your AP immediately without any trial and error.
• Improvements:
• Improved map moving and manipulation performance when using DWG/SVG maps.
• Changes in the ESX project format for the future features & developments.
• Enhanced DWG/SVG image clarity - especially with smaller details and thin walls and other skinny map elements.
• Changed SA-1 adapter default channels when using two SA-1 adapters. This helps with the poor 5Ghz scanning results that happened previously when using two SA-1 adapters.
• ESS can now show the transmit power from the measured Cisco APs in RTFM Radios-list tool tips. However, this requires that the Cisco AP supports displaying the Tx power and has been enabled to do so.
• Changes to the visualization refresh toggle - for better indication if the refresh is ON or OFF. Furthermore, toggle will also blink if there are pending visualizations refreshes waiting to be triggered.
• Added grouping logic for Mist APs.
• Aerohive AP names are now displayed in ESS - if available.
• Improved Aerohive grouping logic.
• Additional tweaking on Cisco Meraki grouping logic.
• Improved D-Link grouping logic and enabled it by default in "Multi-MAC detection" dialog.
• You can find new "Training" button in Help-menu which helps you get started if want to know where you can find our ECSE training courses. We cannot guarantee that the practice will make you perfect, but you'll certainly get off to a good start with ESS with this training!
• Access points can now also be selected, moved and edited with the AP tool. As a bonus, this will also prevent user from placing APs on top of each other.
• APs broadcasting empty names are now shown by their generic vendor names instead. This prevents ESS from showing completely blank radios in RTFM/Survey Inspector.
• Changed RSSI strength display option names from "Strongest, 2nd Strongest and 3rd Strongest" to "Primary, Secondary and Tertiary". For that added touch of class!
• "Channel bandwidth" visualization name and other related texts have been changed to "Channel width".
• Other minor UI fine-tuning and tweaks.
• Fixed issues:
• Improved stylus behavior on Access point list and Quick select dialog in Windows 10. In sports terms, it's now less ice skating and more skeet-shooting.
• Areas are now correctly removed BOTH from map and the saved project file when deleted. Previously, areas continued to squat in the project file even after they were deleted.
• Capacity areas now display the area sizes also in reporting and exported images.
• Visualization contours no longer get toggled back ON when changing visualizations. While we do have default settings, but we're not THAT insistent on them!
• Fixed an issue where areas with several different client types would make capacity visualization loading very slow or even freeze up whole ESS.
• Lastly, can't have a release without some fixed typos, so we've got that one covered as well!
• New access points, antennas and BLE beacons:
• Added new device type: Stand-alone BLE beacons
• Aruba LS-BT10 and LS-BT20 (BLE beacons)
• Cisco AP4800
• Cisco Meraki MR20 and MR70
• Aerohive AP550 Dual 5Ghz

• Sophos APX320, APX530 and APX740
• Xirrus XR-620
• Updated Cisco 1815i and Cisco 1815w with BLE antennas.
• Updated LANCOM LN-1700, LN-630acn, LN-830acn and LN-860 antenna patterns
• Lastly, there are several APs in our selection which now also have BLE functionality integrated in them. You can find these Wi-Fi/BLE APs most easily by writing "BLE" in the AP tool search field.
• Extras:
• Thanks for sticking with us so far! Actually, we might have one more bonus feature for you...
• Interference detection (BETA): You can enable this Beta feature by CTRL/ALT+Left-clicking on the Sidekick battery indicator. This allows you to enable a "Show interference" option in RTFM which you toggle on to view potential non-Wifi interference sources.
• This is a feature that is still "work in progress". Please, bear this in mind while trying out the feature and let us know how you like it. Have fun!

Version 9.1.4

Release Date: April 19th, 2018

• Improvements:
• Sizes added to areas - readily visible both on map and in area options.
• Renamed the Sidekick Wi-Fi adapters and spectrum analyzer in ESS.
• Visualization legend handling is now improved so that it triggers the visualization refresh only when the settings slider is released. Previously the refresh kicked in immediately once the slider stopped moving.
• Added a fresh coat of paint for Cisco Prime Import/Export file chooser and rest of the Cisco Prime dialog windows.
• Disabled visualization refreshing when moving APs on the map while prediction is turned off. This makes it easier to tidy up your survey project and AP locations, while still seeing the survey results.
• Device profile list now shows more information about the device parameters. You no longer have to dive deeper into the device customization window to find out what kind of device you're using.
• Improvements on AP vendor name recognition.
• Some additional dialog fine-tuning.
• Tweaks to various multi-MAC grouping logics.
• Minor fiddling with the one-click report settings and format.
• Fixed issues:
• One-click PDF reports on macOS are no longer missing their descriptive texts. This slightly lessens fun of ad-libbing your own texts in the report, but maybe it's worth it.
• Quick band selection didn't work with spectrum visualizations in ESS 9.1.3. Now they are playing nicely together again!
• Fixed an issue where you couldn't close ESS start-up notifications if more than one notification popped up at the same time.
• CAD importing process no longer goes haywire, if you're importing multiple CAD images and then changing the layout. Now images queue in orderly fashion, instead of dogpiling on each other!
• Corrected a bug where device offset values were incorrect and overly large when using ESS in German.
• Visualizations no longer unnecessarily refresh when exiting area options without making any changes.
• Empty height setting for walls no longer repeatedly refresh visualization when the text field is activated.
• Fix for overly sticky "No scale" warning, which didn't close properly when user proceeded to save the project.
• Other miscellaneous fixes!
• New access points and antennas:
• Aruba AP-303, AP-318 + AP-ANT-1W, AP-344 + AP-ANT-1W, AP-374 + ANT-2x2-2314 + ANT-2x2-5314

• Ruijie Networks AP520, AP630, AP720-L, AP740-I, RG-AP130-L, RG-AP720-I, RG-AP740-I
• Known issues:
• Added a registry file in the Drivers-folder in ESS installation directory, which allows users to see their mapped network drives in ESS, when run. For time being, this registry change isn't integrated to ESS directly due to possible side effects, especially in multi-user environments. We may integrate this registry change to ESS later on, once we've done more investigation.

Version 9.1.3

Release Date: March 9th, 2018

• Improvements:
• Lots of dialog window UI refining and fine-tuning. Less crudeness, more style!
• Iperf improvements on macOS version - earlier iPerf worked on some Macs, now it works on most Macs. Hooray!
• Realtek driver fixes for occasional BSOD issues.
• Changed keyboard shortcut for Delete function on Mac from "fn+Backspace" to just "Backspace".
• On macOS version ALT-key (instead of CMD) will now enable user to see the advanced features such as visualization height or Visualization device profile.
• India regulatory domain added. Greetings to our Indian friends from the frozen north!
• Added generic grouping logic for BSSID and radio combination as a fall-back mechanism in case vendor-specific combination logics fail to do their jobs.
• Implemented LANCOM radio combination logic via AP name broadcasting.
• Multitude of other general Multi-MAC and radio combination tweaks and enhancements
• Contours are now ENABLED by default in visualizations on template reports.
• Minor sorting changes in AP and antenna lists.
• Fixed issues:
• Excessive loading times for undocked RTFM window have been improved. Sorry, you no longer have time to visit the fridge while the RTFM is loading!
• Fixed an auto-planner bug where it mixed up area capacity requirements and placed too many APs on the map as a result.
• Displayed channels fixed for BSSIDs that have multiple entries on a radio.
• Fixed an issue where survey bookmarks weren't working in one-click or template reporting.
• Reports can be created in Japanese when using PDF format - no more missing hiragana, katakana or kanji.
• Removed unnecessary visualization refresh when toggling 2.4Ghz band filter.
• One-click reporting folder selection no longer breaks down if the destination folder has been previously deleted.
• Disabled scaling on text and image note icons. Sequels for Invasion of Giant Notes or Mystery of Vanished Icons have been canceled!

Version 8.6.1

Release Date: September 30th, 2016

CRITICAL UPDATE

We have identified a critical issue in Ekahau Site Survey 8.6.0 - Project file save process could cause a loss of survey data in some very rare cases! With the best of our understanding, the issue is related to processing and saving the ESS project file simultaneously on multiple ESS instances and/or other applications. We have now fixed the issue and all Ekahau Site Survey 8.6.0 customers are highly recommended to update to this version!

• Fixed issues:
• CRITICAL: Site survey data may become corrupted if the same project file has been processed simultaneously on multiple different application instances
• The visualization was not always refreshed properly after "Save As" and required the project to be reloaded
• Sorting the RTFM table's columns could cause a nasty flood of Java error messages
• The network association of the internal adapter was disconnected when ESS is started
• External Wi-Fi adapters were not always detected in Windows 10
• Saving swapped maps didn't work correctly in all situations
• Improved issues:
• Increased the wall automatic joint threshold so that it is easier to connect walls together - Kudos to Matthew Panton
• Improved the Spectrum Analyzer detection on the ESS for Mac Beta version

Version 8.6.0

Release Date: August 30th, 2016

IMPORTANT NOTE

Starting from this version, Ekahau Site Survey is also available for Mac OS X in public beta. You may download it from our download site, but there are some limitations which you should be aware of before the installation. For example, going with the Mac version means that you can use your license key only on that laptop. Using single license in different laptops (Windows laptop and a Macbook) is currently not supported. For more info on the limitations and how to switch over to the Mac version, please visit our Wiki documentation page.

To upgrade to version 8.6.0, you will need to have valid Ekahau Support and Maintenance contract. If your contract has expired, you may renew it at www.ekahau.com/renewal.
