Aruba Networks
OK - we've had the pleasure of doing some fun work over the years, but this is one of the coolest projects we've had the pleasure to test ourselves against. :)
As a premiere vendor of highly secure outdoor wireless networks, Aruba Networks needed a planning tool to help sales and installation users pre-visualize a site in three dimensions along with context sensitive 3-D coverage models of each of their various antennas and access points. Enter Code-Monkeys.
Utilizing ColdFusion, Fusebox and Google Earth, we developed a fully web-based utility to import, modify and re-export Google Earth .KMZ files that include tons of additional data about a site's coverage, models scaled to represent various inputs, and all the hidden meta data to make multiple passes through the tool integrate with the native Google Earth interface.
Not only does the tool facilitate the visualization of wireless coverage, it also builds and validates mesh link networks between access points, helping Aruba personnel as well as clients, see available data rates and redundancies. When all is said and done, the online tool has been a huge boon to Aruba in a very competitive market. Using cutting edge technology in a format that brings portability to a new high.
