Hamina Planner
Hamina Planner is a web-based tool for predictive Wi-Fi and IoT network design.
What Hamina Planner is
Hamina Planner is a web-based tool for predictive Wi-Fi and IoT network design. Its heatmaps update as access points move, and channels are optimized when access points are added or repositioned. Three-dimensional simulation models signal propagation and shows wall, object, and access-point heights across stacked floors. Floor plans can be imported in PNG, JPEG, WEBP, PDF, DXF, and DWG formats. Users can create interactive reports in a browser and download them as PDFs; report viewers do not need a Hamina account. API integrations support importing networks and exporting or deploying designs with cloud-based Wi-Fi vendors, including Cisco Meraki, Catalyst Center, Juniper Mist, HPE Aruba, Extreme Networks, Ruckus Networks, and Arista. The free account permits up to three simulated access points, five AI wall-drawing runs, and one switch; reports cannot be shared or exported as PDFs. Planner requires an internet connection.
Good
- Live heatmaps and channel optimization
- 3D signal modelling across stacked floors
- Imports six listed floor-plan formats
- Interactive browser reports can be downloaded as PDFs
Watch out
- Requires an internet connection
- Free account caps access points, drawing runs, and switches
- Free reports cannot be shared or exported as PDFs
Who it suits
It suits people planning Wi-Fi or IoT networks who need predictive heatmaps, 3D modelling, or integrations with supported cloud-based Wi-Fi vendors. The free account is suited to limited simulations, subject to its access-point, wall-drawing, and switch caps.
Verdict
Hamina Planner brings predictive design, 3D modelling, and vendor integrations together in a web-based workflow. Check the free-account limits and the unspecified billing period for its from $590 (priced on request) starting price before choosing a plan.
