What it is

Wi-Fi Designer is a free web application for planning Cambium Wi-Fi networks with predictive heat maps. Users can upload a JPEG, PNG, GIF, or BMP floor plan, or draw one in the application, then scale the map and choose wall materials to model radio-frequency effects. Cambium access points can be placed on the plan, with adjustable RF characteristics to visualize coverage changes. The tool generates and emails heat maps plus a bill of materials, also called a shopping list. A guest demo is available, and release notes state that Cambium SSO support was added. The Free plan costs nothing and is described as an online Wi-Fi design tool for Cambium access points. It runs on the web and offers report export. The live application lists release 5.3.0 dated 14 Apr 2026. Cambium Networks is headquartered in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, USA, and was founded in 2011.
