Metageek(tm) Releases Wi-Spy(tm) 2.4x Spectrum Analyzer

Nampa, ID - As the 2.4 GHz band gets more crowded, we need better wireless networking tools to quickly resolve interference issues.

The geeks at MetaGeek have been working feverishly on the latest version of Wi-Spy - version 2.4x. This second generation Wi-Spy has three times the frequency resolution, three times the amplitude resolution, and twice the amplitude range of the original Wi-Spy.

Higher resolution and improved amplitude range make it much easier to identify wireless signals that could be interfering with your Wi-Fi networks.

Technical Specifications:

Frequency Range: 2400 to 2495 MHz

Frequency Resolution: 328 KHz

Amplitude Range: -110 dBm to -6.5 dBm

Amplitude Resolution: 0.5 dBm

Sweep Time: ~165 msec

Antenna: External, RP-SMA

Interface: USB 1.1/2.0 compatible

MetaGeek's new Chanalyzer software (version 2.1), takes full advantage of Wi-Spy's higher resolution with improved graphics, powerful new play-through controls, and an improved user interface. Backward compatibility in Chanalyzer 2.1 seamlessly supports both the original Wi-Spy and Wi-Spy 2.4x.

Chanalyzer 2.1 is still available as a free download. Wi-Spy 2.4x is available at www.MetaGeek.net.

Aimed at independent consultants and smaller firms, MetaGeek makes and sells wireless networking tools for thousands less than their competitors. The tools help visualize, troubleshoot, and optimize wireless networks, making the invisible visible.
