Acrylic Wi-Fi HeatMaps: Powerful Wi‑Fi Site Survey and Heat Mapping

Acrylic Wi‑Fi HeatMaps is a dedicated site survey and wireless planning tool that helps IT teams, integrators, and facility managers design, validate and optimize Wi‑Fi deployments. The application converts raw radio data into clear, color‑coded heat maps and layered visualizations that reveal coverage, interference, capacity and channel planning issues across indoor and outdoor environments.

Streamlined Workflow for Site Surveys and Planning

The software supports a practical survey workflow: import building floor plans or satellite imagery, walk the area with a laptop or compatible Wi‑Fi adapter, record passive and active measurements, and generate instant heat maps. Real‑time feedback while surveying speeds troubleshooting and enables rapid rechecks of changed configurations.

Flexible Visualization and Layered Analysis

Heat maps are highly configurable, with separate layers for signal strength, noise level, SNR, channel utilization and overlap, frame rates and throughput estimates. Users can toggle layers, adjust interpolation and smoothing settings, and display multiple floors or outdoor overlays to model multi‑level deployments.

Advanced Measurement and Diagnostic Tools

• Detailed per‑access point and per‑channel statistics to identify congestion and co‑channel interference.
• Signal‑to‑noise ratio and interference detection to pinpoint competing sources and sources of packet loss.
• Channel planning aids that show overlapping channels and recommended adjustments for improved capacity.

Integration, Export and Reporting Options

Acrylic Wi‑Fi HeatMaps exports survey results in common formats for sharing and further analysis, including KML for Google Earth visualizations and CSV for spreadsheet review. Built‑in reporting tools produce printable site survey reports with maps, measurement tables and recommendations suitable for clients and project documentation.

Scalability and Compatibility

• Designed to handle single rooms to large, multi‑floor facilities with multiple access points and SSIDs.
• Works with a range of Wi‑Fi adapters and supports multiple IEEE 802.11 generations to capture modern network behaviors.

Who Should Use Acrylic Wi‑Fi HeatMaps

The tool is well suited for network engineers, managed service providers and IT administrators who need a practical, visual method to plan, verify and improve wireless coverage. Its combination of live surveying, layered analysis and exportable reports makes it useful for both pre‑deployment planning and post‑deployment troubleshooting.

Licensing and Editions

Acrylic Wi‑Fi HeatMaps is available in free and paid editions, enabling users to try core mapping features before upgrading to unlock advanced reporting, larger survey areas and professional tools for commercial projects.

Benefits for Wireless Performance and Reliability

• Identifies coverage gaps and dead zones so you can optimize AP placement and power settings.
• Reduces interference and channel conflicts through clear channel‑use visualizations.
• Improves user experience and capacity planning by correlating signal maps with throughput estimates.
