Deliver Reliable, Fast Wi-Fi With Every Project
Accuracy is essential in Wi-Fi design, from floor plan scale and wall material attenuation to environmental interference and validation measurements. The Ekahau Sidekick 2, the fastest and most advanced Wi-Fi performance testing device, is lab-calibrated for precise and reliable data capture. Save time and money by ensuring accurate AP placement from the start, and confidently identify and address Wi-Fi issues before they cause outages. For exceptional Wi-Fi, trust the Sidekick 2.
9 Custom Wideband Antennas
Achieve unparalleled accuracy and reliability with nine custom-designed 3D antennas, strategically positioned for optimal omnidirectional measurement consistency. This design eliminates variances between devices, ensuring that the data collected is consistently accurate and actionable.
4 Enterprise-Grade Tri-Band Wi-Fi Radios
Capture more data in less time with four tri-band Wi-Fi radios that scan the 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz frequency bands more quickly than the original Sidekick scans just the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands. The Sidekick 2 is nearly 100% faster for dual-band surveys and 33% faster for tri-band network surveys.
Survey All Day Battery
Equipped with the largest battery permitted on commercial airlines, the Sidekick 2 provides over a full day of onsite surveying on a single charge. Additionally, a quick 1-hour charge can give you an extra 4 hours of active use.
50 Sweeps/Second Spectrum Aalyzer
Visualise the invisible Wi-Fi spectrum from 2,400–7,125 MHz in brilliant high definition with the fastest refresh rates, ensuring you never miss a microsecond of interference. Capture quicker interference events and zoom in on the smallest details with 4X better resolution bandwidth.
Powerfully Easy to Use
The Sidekick 2 delivers outstanding results for both wireless networking professionals and novices. It handles the heavy lifting, enabling anyone to become a Wi-Fi expert, performing accurate health check surveys and collecting detailed spectrum analysis data to share with collaborators via Ekahau Insights. With the Sidekick 2, achieving always-accurate site survey and Wi-Fi performance data for your network has never been easier.
