WifiMETRIX — Dual-Band, 802.11 Channel Analyzer

Quantify And Predict Throughput Performance Of Each Wi-Fi Channel

Simulate Interference And Wi-Fi Congestion Using Signal Generation And Traffic Congestion

WifiMETRIX is a new diagnostic tool used to analyze and test Wi-Fi networks. It is a handheld device that operates in stand-alone mode — that is, it does not associate or connect with an AP. WifiMETRIX implements two important features — AirHORN and WifiPROBE. The built-in Wi-Fi chip can perform both signal generation / packet injection (AirHORN) and throughput diagnostics (WifiPROBE) on each channel. WifiMETRIX costs only $295 USD.

RF Viewer is a PC-based, RF spectrum analyzer that includes both hardware and software. It uses a wireless, USB dongle that interfaces with your Windows PC running Touchstone-Pro or Clear Waves data analysis software. The wideband, RF spectrum analyzer spans a frequency range of 24 MHz up to 1766 MHz, which makes it ideal for use in a broad array of RF-related applications. The cost of RF Viewer with Touchstone-Pro software is only $79 USD.

WiFi Surveyor turns data collected from RF Explorer spectrum analyzers into graphical charts and displays in real time, enabling users to more readily visualize the RF environment, monitor RF signals, troubleshoot RF issues, and detect sources of RF interference. In addition to spectrum analysis, integrated in the application software is a full-featured, Wi-Fi scanner — also known as an 802.11 network discovery tool. The software can be used to monitor wireless devices and RF interference that impact the performance, range and security of wireless networks. When installed on a laptop computer, WiFi Surveyor provides mobile, site survey information that facilitates optimal configuration of wireless networks and proper location of RF devices, and aids in identifying potential sources of interference.

RF Explorer is the latest breakthrough device in low-cost, RF spectrum analysis. It operates both as a standalone, handheld RF spectrum analyzer and also interfaces with a PC running more sophisticated data analysis software. There are several models in the RF Explorer series of RF spectrum analyzers that span different frequency ranges — from 15 MHz up to 2700 MHz. Don’t let the price fool you — the performance of these small, affordable devices compares favorably to more expensive and bulky test equipment. Prices begin at $119 USD.
