Airtool Pi vs Tessabyte

Airtool Pi is a utility built for WLAN and IT professionals to capture Wi-Fi packets remotely using Linux-based sensors such as the WLAN Pi, or any Linux device with compatible Wi-Fi adapters. It also supports the Oscium Nomad, enabling simultaneous packet capture on up to four channels. Airtool Pi securely connects to an external or remote sensor, automatically starts a packet capture with your selected settings, and saves the capture locally on your iPhone or iPad. You can then share the capture for further analysis as part of your troubleshooting workflow. FEATURES • Clean and intuitive user interface • Add, manage, and automatically discover local or remote sensors • Multi-channel captures using up to four adapters on a single sensor • Configure capture options: adapter, channel, and channel width • Support for 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz bands with 20, 40, 80, 160, and 320 MHz channels • Manage and share Wi-Fi packet capture files • Set capture options: maximum file size and packet slicing • Light and dark mode support Whether you're troubleshooting on site or working remotely, Airtool Pi gives you the flexibility and control to capture the data you need from your iPhone or iPad.

Experience the difference with Tessabyte — a powerful tool for measuring and analyzing network performance. This utility sends TCP and UDP data streams across your network and computes important metrics such as upstream and downstream throughput, packet loss, jitter, and round-trip time, and displays the results in both numeric and chart formats. Whether you're troubleshooting connectivity issues, validating upgrades, or optimizing your network, Tessabyte provides precise insights into its speed and reliability. Tessabyte uses a client-server setup to run tests, so a server component (which can be downloaded at https://www.netmantics.com) is highly recommended for local network testing. However, the application also offers access to public test servers. What can you do with Tessabyte? • Wi-Fi Speed Tests: Test wireless networks for throughput and reliability. • Network Capacity Tests: Assess the maximum data transfer rate that a network link can support. • Link Quality Analysis: Determine the quality of individual network links. • Stress Tests: Simulate high traffic loads and observe how the network behaves under congestion. • Quality of Service (QoS) Assessment: Evaluate how different traffic types are prioritized in the network. • Firmware and Hardware Updates Validation: Verify the impact of network device firmware or hardware upgrades. • LAN Bandwidth Tests: Don't take your local network speed for granted. Test, verify, and monitor. • Network Topology Planning: Understand how network design choices impact performance. • Comparative Benchmarking: Compare the performance of different network components or analyze how your network behaves at various times of the day. • Security Assessment: Evaluate the impact of security measures on network performance. • Load Balancing Verification: Test the effectiveness of load balancing in a network. • SLA Compliance Verification: Ensure that the network meets its Service Level Agreements. Why Tessabyte: • Accurate, real-time measurements • Reports in PDF and CSV formats • Customizable TCP and UDP traffic parameters • Support for both IPv4 and IPv6 • Cross-platform compatibility: an iOS/iPadOS client can "talk" to a macOS or Windows server, etc.
