Mist
is the only wireless platform in the industry to offer “RF glasses”, which
gives administrators a real-time view of the RF environment from the mobile
device’s perspective. If a wireless user complains about a Wi-Fi or BLE problem,
the Mist platform can be used to easily visualize in real-time exactly what
their wireless environment looks like for accurate troubleshooting.
