IF YOU WANT GREAT WI-FI, YOU NEED SIDEKICK 2

You can’t guess with Wi-Fi. From floor plan scale and wall material attenuation,
to environmental interference and validation measurements — accuracy matters.
Ekahau Sidekick 2 is the fastest, most advanced Wi-Fi performance testing and
measurement device on the market, lab calibrated to deliver pinpoint accuracy
for reliable and repeatable Wi-Fi signal and spectrum data capture. 

Save time and money by getting AP placement right the first time and rest easy
knowing you have what you need to identify and address Wi-Fi issues before they
lead to costly outages. Put simply — if you want great Wi-Fi, you need Sidekick
2.


VALIDATE AND VISUALIZE THE 6 GHZ WORLD

Take full advantage of the upgraded speed and channel availability of Wi-Fi 6E
with a network design that’s been validated for 6 GHz by the most trusted name
in Wi-Fi design. With 4 enterprise-grade tri-band Wi-Fi radios, Sidekick 2 scans
more data across more channels than any other Wi-Fi measurement tool giving you
the clearest picture of your Wi-Fi health, and ensuring the highest level of
performance for your Wi-Fi users. Support your next-gen business applications
with the unprecedented speed and reliability of your Ekahau-perfected 6 GHz
network design. 




THE ACCURACY THAT INFORMS PERFORMANCE

The new levels of accuracy available with Sidekick 2 allow you to not only
identify your Wi-Fi signal strength at every point of your network, but also
measure your network health and provide early detection for environmental
changes that can negatively impact your network. With Sidekick 2, you can ensure
your Wi-Fi is always optimized and ready to meet the connectivity needs of your
business. 

4 Enterprise-Grade Tri-band Wi-Fi Radios

Capture more data in less time with 4 tri-band Wi-Fi radios that scan 2.4, 5 and
6 GHz frequency bands faster than the original Sidekick scans just 2.4 and 5.
Sidekick 2 is nearly 100% faster for dual-band surveys and 33% faster when
surveying tri-band networks.


9 Custom Wideband Antennas

Get unbeatable accuracy and reliability with 9 custom-designed 3D antennas
positioned for optimum omnidirectional measurement consistency. By eliminating
variances between devices, you can trust the data collected is always accurate
and actionable.


50 Sweeps/Second Spectrum Analyzer

See the invisible Wi-Fi spectrum from 2,400–7,125 MHz in brilliant high
definition with the fastest refresh rates so you’ll never miss a microsecond of
interference. Capture quicker interference events and zoom in to the smallest
details with 4X better resolution bandwidth.


Survey All Day Battery

Built with the largest battery allowed on commercial airlines, Sidekick 2 powers
more than a full day of onsite surveying on a single charge and can even be
topped off for an extra 4 hours of active use with just 1 hour of charging.


Whisper-Quiet Active Cooling

The active cooling system in Sidekick 2 maintains optimal operating temp in
harsh conditions.  It’s whisper quiet and just one of the many reasons that
Sidekick 2 is so cool.


Now Featuring USB-C Connectivity

Charge faster and with improved reliability thanks to a USB-C connection port
that’s always the ‘right way’ no matter how you plug it in. The snug fit and
reinforced cable management channel takes the pressure off your connection and
reduces the chance of an accidental mid-survey disconnect.





INVALUABLE INSIGHT IS ALWAYS AT YOUR SIDE

With a sleek, mobile form factor and all-day battery life, your Sidekick 2 is
always ready to survey and analyze any combination of 2.4, 5, and now 6 GHz
wireless networks. Sidekick 2 features the largest battery allowed on commercial
airlines (we checked) so you can optimize Wi-Fi domestically or abroad and never
run out of juice. Dongles and external adapters can be serious battery drains,
but with Sidekick 2 you get more than a full day of onsite surveying on a single
charge. And with the all-new USB-C quick charger, top off for an extra 4 hours
of active use in just 1 hour of charging.




POWERFULLY EASY TO USE

Sidekick 2 ensures awesome results whether you’re a wireless networking pro or a
novice. The device does the heavy lifting so anyone can level up and become a
Wi-Fi superhero performing accurate health check surveys and collecting detailed
spectrum analysis data to share with collaborators via Ekahau Insights. Accuracy
