For one of the project we are working on, we are planning on using a nice co-location mount from Ventev. It will allow us to install both an AP and an external antenna at the end of an electrical conduit. It is a very nice option available is you need to significantly lower down the [...]
We have wrote about Free Space Path Loss on this blog. Take a look at this article to understand what it is: https://semfionetworks.com/blog/free-space-path-loss-diagrams/ In this article, we are going to focus on what Free Space Path Loss will look like on the 6GHz frequency band. To start with, here is the updated FSPL diagram including [...]
In this article, we will show how to export the project note pictures into our template reports. It seems like it would be something easy but it is actually a little tricky. PROJECT NOTES IN EKAHAU In Ekahau Pro, you can add project notes to your project by navigating to Project / Project Notes menu: [...]
Same changes have been happening around the 802.11 standards lately, so the initial 802.11 timeline we had previously created was up for an update.

In Canada, Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) published a Consultation on the Technical and Policy Framework for Licence-Exempt Use in the 6 GHz Band in November 2020. In May 2021, ISED published the Decision on Technical and Policy Framework for licence-Exempt Use in the 6GHz Band. This document outlines the new 6GHz regulations [...]
After KRACK (2017) and Dragonblood (2019), Mathy VanHoef found a new set of Wi-Fi vulnerabilities. The findings have been publicly released on May 11th, 2021 under the following name: FragAttacks. The goal of this article is to summarize the scope of these vulnerabilities and give you indications on what you should do in order to [...]
In this blog post, we will see how we can make a simple API Call to the Mist cloud in order to have all APs, supporting a Wi-Fi network, broadcast their name. We usually enable this feature when we are about to do a Wi-Fi site survey. This allows us to see the AP names [...]
When you change the type of external antenna used by an AP in Ekahau, the name of the AP model is not updated to reflect that new external antenna name: So this simple script aims to update the name of the AP models in order for them to reflect the name of the external antenna [...]
Ekahau released a new version (v10.2) last month. The best feature out of this new version (for me at least) is the ability to create personalized tags for AP objects. Each tag can have a key and a value. Here is an example: DESCRIPTION My good friend Haydn Andrews had the idea to create a [...]
I have been using the python library called pySerial and wanted to share how I made it work on my end. I have used it to establish a console connection to a Cisco AP in order to perform send the initial set of configurations within a python script and automate the process. I will only [...]
