which will function as an iPerf server and can be placed anywhere there is a network connection with POE.<\/p>\n<p>The additional features that are being introduced show that this product is as versatile as ever and should increase the confidence of its user while deployed in the field.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the link to <a href=\"http:\/\/enterprise.netscout.com\/support\/downloads\/55510\/AirCheck%2BG2%2BWireless%2BTester%2B\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">download<\/a> the new v2.0 firmware.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Video from MFD2 featuring Chris Hinsz, Product Manager at NETSCOUT<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-vimeo\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"NETSCOUT AirCheck G2 2.0 Overview with Chris Hinsz\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/235560491?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay;
