Berkeley Varitronics Systems' has released Yellowjacket, a wireless receiver module designed to work with Hewlett-Packard's iPAQ Pocket PC.
According to the company, Yellowjacket works with the iPAQ in sweeping, analyzing and optimizing 2.4 GHz Wireless Local Area Networks. The receiver measures all 14 DSSS network channels which operate on the IEEE 802.11b standard allowing the user to determine the AP (Access Point), PER (Packet Error Rate), Multipath (Ec/Io), SSID and RSSI signal levels aiding in locating the hub and access points of neighboring WLANs.
Berkeley Varitronics Systems said the Yellowjacket allows those familiar with the iPAQ interface a unique advantage over “software only” products currently available, as Yellowjacket functions as a complete WLAN analysis system.
