In today’s high-performance wireless environments, network uptime is no longer enough.
Premium venues, enterprise campuses, healthcare facilities, transportation hubs, and rural infrastructure operators all face the same challenge:
Traditional monitoring platforms can see device faults — but they cannot see the real mobile user experience.
That gap is where AirScan by Errigal changes the game.
The Problem: Monitoring the Network ≠ Monitoring the Experience
Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS), WiFi platforms, and LTE/5G infrastructures can report:
-
RF power levels
-
Device health
-
Basic connectivity status
-
Internal fault conditions
But they cannot confirm whether a user can actually make a call, send data, or access the internet.
In many environments, the first indication of a performance issue is a user complaint. By then:
-
Customer experience is already damaged
-
SLAs may be breached
-
Brand reputation may be impacted
AirScan bridges this critical visibility gap by emulating the mobile user experience in real time .
What is AirScan?
It is an intelligent edge processor that actively tests RF performance across multiple carriers and WiFi networks.
Unlike passive monitoring systems, AirScan:
-
Emulates real user connectivity
-
Performs upload and download throughput tests
-
Cycles across carriers (e.g., Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile)
-
Validates WiFi connectivity and DNS resolution
-
Measures key RF parameters including RSSI, RSRP, RSRQ, RSSNR, Cell ID, and more
AirScan integrates directly into Errigal’s IDMS platform and EMS Nova dashboards, providing real-time visibility and historical trend analysis .
The result:
Predictive, actionable RF intelligence — not reactive troubleshooting.
Industries That Rely on AirScan
AirScan is purpose-built for environments where connectivity is mission-critical.
1. In-Building Enterprise Environments
Corporate Campuses
High-Rise Buildings
Manufacturing Facilities
Signal obstruction, dense construction materials, and multi-carrier environments create complex RF conditions.
AirScan ensures:
-
Carrier-by-carrier visibility
-
WiFi performance validation
-
Proactive detection of throughput degradation
-
Automated alerting before users are impacted
Instead of waiting for executive complaints, IT teams gain proactive insight into real-world performance.
2. Large Venues & Public Spaces
Stadiums,Airports, Shopping Malls,Convention Centres
High-density user environments create fluctuating RF loads and interference challenges.
AirScan provides:
-
Multi-carrier performance comparison
-
Band-specific insights (including 5G bands)
-
Throughput testing cycles
-
SSID scanning and interference detection
-
Threshold-based auto-ticket creation
When thousands of users are relying on connectivity, predictive monitoring is not optional — it’s essential.
3. Remote & Rural Infrastructure
Rural LTE Deployments,Energy & Utility Sites,Transportation Corridors
In sparse infrastructure environments, troubleshooting is costly and slow.
AirScan ensures:
-
Continuous validation of LTE availability
-
Carrier connection success rate monitoring
-
Signal quality tracking
-
Proactive issue identification before truck rolls are required
This dramatically reduces operational expense and improves SLA compliance.
4. Healthcare, Government & Financial Institutions
These industries operate under strict compliance and uptime requirements.
AirScan supports:
-
Measurable RF performance validation
-
Historical data trending (up to multi-year visibility)
-
Automatic ticket generation for performance breaches
-
Integration with the broader IDMS ticketing and reporting ecosystem
For regulated environments, documented performance verification is critical.
How AirScan Enhances the Errigal IDMS Platform
AirScan is not a standalone tool — it is fully integrated into the Errigal IDMS ecosystem .
This integration enables:
-
Centralized dashboards via EMS Nova
-
Auto-ticketing through Ticketer
-
Customizable workflows
-
Performance reporting via Reporting Manager
-
Mobile visibility via Mobile Navigator
Alarms and performance thresholds behave like any other managed device, meaning NOC teams gain unified visibility across DAS, WiFi, microwave, routers, and RF testing devices.
From Reactive to Predictive Network Assurance
Instead of reacting to complaints, organizations gain:
-
Proactive visibility into real user experience
-
Automated alerts when performance drops below acceptable thresholds
-
Carrier-level insights for optimization decisions
-
Measurable performance benchmarking
Transforms RF monitoring from passive infrastructure observation to active user experience validation.
Why It Matters Now
As 5G adoption accelerates and enterprise wireless becomes foundational infrastructure, expectations have shifted.
Connectivity is no longer a “best effort” service.
It is: Revenue-critical, Experience-driven and Brand-defining
AirScan empowers organizations to move from: “The system looks fine.”
to “We know the user experience is performing exactly as expected.”
