BVS Releases Precision Handheld Wi-Fi Optimiser

Berkeley Varitronics Systems continues to Clarify RF by releasing a new handheld Wi-Fi optimiser called Beetle-BANG.
BEETLE-B/A/N/G is a calibrated wireless test receiver system that verifies, sweeps, measures and optimises all popular 802.11 Wi-Fi network standards including 802.11b/g (2.4 GHz), 802.11a (5 GHz) and 802.11n.
When equipped with a BVS DF (Direction Finding) antenna, BEETLE-B/A/N/G locates and pinpoints rogue MACs, APs, STAs and SSIDs. Powerful packet analysis features such as Delay Spread, Channel Frequency Response (CFR), Multipath (Ec/Io), Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR), SSID and Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) give BEETLE-B/A/N/G the distinction of being the only true handheld Wi-Fi packet analysis and direction finding tool accurate to within +1.0dB. BEETLE-B/A/N/G can wirelessly detect rogue APs, hackers or any nearby MAC and can also connect directly to network installations for precise antenna alignment and optimisation.
Scott Schober, President/CEO, said: "We are pleased to offer this new Wi-Fi tool targeted to field engineers, technicians and installers requiring a low-cost solution that demodulates and analyzes all 802.11b/a/n/g packets.
Beetle-BANG includes both 2.4 & 5 GHz omni-directional antennae, charger, software and hard carrying case and is available now, all for $3,500.
