What iBwave Wi-Fi Mobile is
iBwave Wi-Fi Mobile is paid Android software for Wi-Fi surveys, site documentation, preliminary network design, and on-site validation. It supports active surveys for throughput checks and passive walks for signal levels, saving measurements automatically. Users can attach photos, videos, audio notes, and annotations to geo-located floor-plan pushpins.

The app can generate customer close-out packages viewable in read-only iBwave Viewer.
