Wi-Fi analytics tool for outdoor areas

Sammanfattning: Planning wireless networks over large, outdoor areas and ensuring their coverage remains complete over changing environments is hard without an analytic tool. Current applications on the market are aimed towards indoor use on small areas and assume that the user has a phone or laptop with them while performing an active logging session. Allowing GPS units or in-vehicle computers to passively log network and GPS diagnostic data in the background to then be sent for analysis on another location would give users a higher quantity of data over longer time while requiring less active work for the industry. During this thesis a web application which can display a range of network and GPS related metrics on top of a world map was developed. Together with an open import format which enables any type of GPS unit or network card to produce data, this resulted an application with good flexibility that users can use to improve their networks.
