Welcome Wi-Spy Wi-Fi Spectrum Analyzer

The Metageek Wi-Spy might be one of the most powerful tools in your wireless toolbox.  Imagine going on a site survey and having a clear vision of the RF terrain which surrounds you.  Leave the Wi-Spy on for a bit and have it record the changes in the “air” as the day goes by.  Then play back the recording and find out exactly why you have been having trouble with your wifi network at 4pm on Fridays (just an example)!

The Wi-Spy comes in 3 different flavors 0900×1v, 2400×2v & the 2450×1v.

The 0900×1v is a cost effective yet powerful 900Mhz spectrum analyzer perfect for WISPs deploying 900 Mhz BWA networks and SCADA professionals.

The 2400×2v works in the 2.4 Ghz unlicensed wi-fi space where the rising levels of interference are causing good wireless networks to fail.  The 2400×2v will allow you to pin-point the interfering sources and take action.

Lastly the 2450×1v offers the same power features of the other models but also allows you to monitor the 5Ghz band.  This is an extremely versatile spectrum analyzer that will allow you to accurately measure the noise floor when engineering point to point wireless bridge links (no more guessing), better plan wireless mesh and WISP BWA networks.
