Wondering if some on here can help, and I hope I get this across well.

I've been looking, rather unsuccessfully, for a piece of software that shows plans of a building with their designated WiFi points on each floor visually outlining location. This should pinpoint access points on a network and acknowledge if they are live or not with a colour code e.g. Red not able to be pinged and Green as pinged and live in their areas of coverage.

The same would be required at a later date for telematics, so if the software has 3/4G capability of ping/pulse for location tracking for vehilces or static areas (e.g. cabins/trailers), that would be an advantage.

Hope this is enough information, hoping someone here has come across something similar?

Your need is not related to this, buy any chance?

SolarWinds NPM (Network Performance Monitor) can provide WiFi heat maps which show the APs and connected clients

Rdjohn: No, not related, but useful as I wasn't aware of that.

Harpoon: That is rather like most RF site surveying software like Ekahau (which is what I'm considering using alongside this requirement).

The software is required more for a visual live representation of viewable networks with APs to see what is live on a floorplan basis.

Probably broadly similar to the Solar winds system already highlighted but does this do what you want?
