I have both of these tools - the WiSpy device and software are good for seeing the RF conditions (layer 1) but don't show things at higher OSI layers as Airmagnet does. Also it's only good for 2.4Ghz for now, but they have a 5Ghz on the roadmap. Regards, Jon 303-808-2666 -Original Messa

The most used indoor bands will likely be the two lower bands (5.150-5.250 and 5.250-5.350 which have power in the 40mW and 200mW levels respectively), the two upper bands will likely be used more frequently outdoors (due to their higher upper power level limits of 1000mW and 800mW). There are oth

Extricom uses a similar architecture to Meru to "schedule" packet delivery from a central controller through APs. The idea isn't new, since a similar method is used in the 802.11 spec to protect "b" only clients from "g" traffic. The use of the term "scheduling" is really not accurate since wha

What tool are you using for power? This is important since you could be seeing data from probe requests ACKs coming from the AP (as in a site planner tool like airopeek, Airmagnet, etc) or raw RF data as seen in a Spectrum Analyzer (oscilloscope, Wi-Spy, or the ones built into all our arrays).
