Note: A Hamina Onsite subscription is required to use Hamina Onsite. A Hamina Onsite or Hamina Planner subscription is required to view survey results in the Hamina Planner web app. With a Hamina Onsite subscription and either a Hamina Clip or Oscium Nomad Wi-Fi measurement device, use Hamina Onsite to take measurements of Wi-Fi networks, create site surveys, and produce heatmaps that show Wi-Fi coverage. After getting a subscription to Hamina Onsite and either the Hamina Clip or Oscium Nomad Wi-Fi measurement hardware, create projects either in the Hamina Network Planner web application or directly on your device with the Hamina Onsite application. Then, go on site with the Oscium Nomad and perform a site survey to gather data using Hamina Onsite's point survey, continuous survey, or all-new line survey modes. Add field notes to the map, too! Once the survey is done, Hamina Onsite automatically synchronizes survey results to the cloud for in-depth analysis with the Hamina Network Planner web app. View survey results, add and remove survey paths, and share survey projects with colleagues for collaboration.
