Berkeley Releases
New Wi-Fi Indoor Mapping Coverage Software
METUCHEN, New
Jersey. -- November 2, 2004 -- Berkeley Varitronics Systems, Inc. has
released Hive™, PC and Pocket PC® based software for mapping coverage
of any indoor WLAN using Bekreley's popular Yellowjacket™ 802.11 Wi-Fi
Receiver.
Hive™ (previous version known as Bird's Eye) is powerful mapping
software that works with Berkeley's Yellowjacket 802.11 (B, A or B/G)
Wi-Fi receiver system. Hive™ runs on an IPAQ® Pocket PC® allowing site
surveys to be handheld and performed completely INDOORS. No GPS
reception needed. Begin with Site Initiator by creating or importing a
floorplan bitmap complete with drag and drop windows, doors, walls and
other clutter or interference icons. Next, use Hive's™ Site Supervisor
on your IPAQ to take scan all channels instantly, take measurements and
plot survey points. Finally, plot and view surveys in multiple data
table or graphical windows using Hive's™ Site Investigator. View
coverage based upon MAC addresses, RSSI, SSID and more. Export data
coverage in ASCII format for popular spreadsheets such as Microsoft
Excel®. Hive™ is available now as optional software for Yellowjacket™
Wi-Fi analysis receiver system. Available Q4 2004.
NEW FEATURES:
∙ Create bitmap floorplans from scratch
∙ Visible survey path
∙ Screen snapshots
∙ Multiple floorplan plots open simultaneously
∙ Export data into spreadsheets
Yellowjacket™ is a calibrated wireless receiver system that interfaces
with HP's iPAQ® PocketPC® in sweeping, analyzing and optimizing 2.4 or
5 GHz Wi-Fi Networks. The receiver measures all network channels for
instant analysis of any access point's MAC, SSID and RSSI signal level
on or off any 802.11 WISP or Hotspot. Yellowjacket has the distinction
of being the only true RF spectrum analysis and direction finding tool
accurate to within 1 dB all in the palm of your hand. Berkeley's
calibrated receiver sweeps and measures all RF energy in the 2.4 GHz
range as well as on each of the channels for detailed network
inspection of any nearby 802.11 APs or STAs. Yellowjacket is a passive,
network independent device with the ability to see the "whole picture"
as well as pinpointing channel interference and hackers that plague so
many 802.11 WISPs and Hotspots. Yellowjacket automatically generates
MAC authorization lists to detect and flag any AP or STA as friendly or
suspect. WEP encryption is also detected and indicated for all
APs/STAs. Yellowjacket includes options for a OF Antenna to pinpoint
W-LAN hackers and 2.4 GHz sources of interference. Yellowjacket also
supports Hive™ Indoor/Outdoor Mapping Software that maps 802.11
coverage. No GPS required.
