Ekahau Sidekick 2 (ESK-2) Technical Specifications

The New Ekahau Sidekick 2 (ESK-2) features:

• 4x tri-band Wi-Fi radios that scan 2.4, 5 and 6 GHz frequency bands faster than the original Sidekick scans just the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz RF bands.
• Sidekick 2 is nearly 100% faster for dual-band surveys and 33% faster when surveying tri-band networks.
• 9x Custom Wideband 3D Antennas, positioned for optimum omnidirectional measurement and giving unbeatable accuracy and reliability.
• Simultaneous Active and Passive Site Surveys: while Ekahau Sidekick™ analyses spectrum and measures Wi-Fi signals, the Wi-Fi adapter in your laptop or tablet can be used to perform Active surveys and Throughput tests.

• “Survey All Day” Battery

Built with the largest battery allowed on commercial airlines, Sidekick 2 powers more than a full day of onsite surveying on a single charge and can even be topped off for an extra 4 hours of active use with just 1 hour of charging.

• Whisper-Quiet Active Cooling

The active cooling system in Ekahau Sidekick 2 maintains optimal operating temp in harsh conditions. It’s whisper quiet and is another reasons why Sidekick 2 is so cool ..

• USB-C Connectivity

Charge faster and with improved reliability thanks to a USB-C connection port that’s always the ‘right way’ no matter how you plug it in. The snug fit and reinforced cable management channel takes the pressure off your connection and reduces the chance of an accidental mid-survey disconnect.
