AirMagnet's Spectrum Analyzer

AirMagnet's Spectrum Analyzer proactively identifies, classifies, and finds sources of RF interferences that impact the performance of WLAN networks. These sources commonly include Bluetooth devices, cordless phones, microwaves, analog video cameras, RF jammers, and others, that are commonly present in today's environment. Unlike earlier generations of spectrum analyzers which are bulky and difficult to use, AirMagnet's Spectrum Analyzer provides an efficient and mobile solution with an IT-friendly user interface, to allow IT staff members to troubleshoot problems in their wireless network. The system also assists users in tracking those interference sources to their physical location using a built-in "device locator tool", enabling the network managers to resolve WLAN performance issues due to RF interference, quickly and easily.

Supported Adapters
RF Spectrum Analysis (mandatory wireless adapter required to run AirMedic)
Notebook based on Intel® Centrino® 2 Processor technology (WiFi Link 5100 or 5300 wireless adapters).
Additional WiFi Analysis
Note:
AirMedic for Intel offers additional WiFi analysis features for users who use a second WiFi adapter in addition to the Intel wireless adapter built in to your Centrino 2 notebook. This does NOT remove the requirement for an Intel 5100 or 5300 wireless adapter, without which the AirMedic for Intel software will not work. Below are the list of supplementary WiFi adapters that can be used to gain the additional WiFi analysis capabilities in AirMedic for Intel.
