Airtime Utilization Report

The Airtime Utilization Report page provides an overview of airtime utilization.

Complete the following steps to view the Airtime Utilization Report page.
  1. On the Navigation bar, click Business Insights > Reports. The Reports page is displayed.
  2. Click View on the Airtime Utilization tile. The Airtime Utilization Report page is displayed.

The Airtime Utilization Report page lists the APs by airtime utilization for radio 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz. It also lists the airtime utilization trend over time based on APs and radio.

Airtime Utilization Report Page (Upper Portion Only)

The Airtime Utilization Report page has the following components:

  • Overview tile
  • Top APs by Airtime Utilization tile
  • Top APs by Airtime Utilization table
  • Airtime Utilization Trend for 2.4 GHz tile

The top right corner of the Airtime Utilization Report pages display options to share and export reports in PDF and PNG formats. You can also share them with recipients over e-mails on-demand or periodically by configuring a schedule (daily, weekly and monthly). To download or create a schedule, refer to Content Panel.

The filters are displayed in the upper-right corner of the Content panel. This option controls the elements displayed within the Content Panel. To modify this option, refer to Content Panel.

Overview Tile

The Overview tile displays the airtime utilization percentage of 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6(5) GHz radios on all APs for the selected time period in the Date and Time filter.

Overview Tile

Top APs by Airtime Utilization Tile

The Top APs by Airtime Utilization tile contains a graph that displays the information about APs that have the highest airtime utilization percentage rates for the selected time period in the Date and Time filter. Pausing the pointer over the graph displays an information box with the airtime utilization details at that time and date.

Top APs by Airtime Utilization Table

The Top APs by Airtime Utilization table displays the information about APs that have the highest airtime utilization percentage rates in the tabulation format for 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6(5) GHz radios for the selected time period in the Date and Time filter. The table is displayed with the AP name, MAC, Internal IP, average airtime utilization percentage, average airtime inbound traffic percentage, average airtime outbound traffic percentage, and average airtime busy traffic percentage. You can select the number of APs displayed in the table from the drop down at the bottom of the table. By default, 2.4 GHz information is displayed, use the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz icons to toggle between the radios.

Airtime Utilization Over Time Table

The Airtime Utilization Over Time table displays the utilization rates between time periods and examines specific airtime utilization data, such as time spent busy or idle, transmitting or receiving, and user traffic compared management traffic of 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6(5) GHz radios over time for the selected time period in the Date and Time filter. The table is displayed with the time, radio, average airtime busy percentage, average airtime idle percentage, average airtime inbound traffic percentage, average airtime outbound traffic percentage, and average airtime utilization percentage. You can select the number of durations displayed in the table from the drop down at the bottom of the table. By default, 2.4 GHz information is displayed, use the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6(5) GHz icons to toggle between the radios.
