We’re taking a dive into how a multi-function radio can help network engineers with many tasks.

A multi-function radio is an additional radio not used for client access. It’s mostly used in listening mode.

These are the six functions of the multi-function radio:

* Packet Capture

* WIPS Detection and Prevention

* RRM Scanning

* Spectrum Analysis

* Client Locationing

* Client Simulation and Network Assurance

An advantage of a multi-function radio is to perform various tasks without having to go off-channel. When a client serving radio has to perform these functions it needs to stop serving clients for a set of time and return to a client serving mode.

The beauty of the multi-function radio is it can always perform these functions without any gaps in time serving clients.
