Why AirSleuth Pro 2.4 GHz Spectrum Analyzer?
As wireless devices become more popular we encounter problems associated with radio frequency (RF) interference -- e.g. our wireless network performs poorly because other devices are using the same frequencies in
the public 2.4 GHz Industrial, Scientific, Medical (ISM) band. A 2.4 GHz spectrum analyzer is the tool of choice for identifying the existence of wireless devices in the vicinity that could adversely affect the
performance of a Wi-Fi (802.11) network. Armed with the information provided by a spectrum analyzer, a wireless network can be configured to use another channel that is not subject to interference. As a result
network performance will increase, as evidenced by improved throughput. In addition to improving performance, the information provided by a spectrum analyzer can be used to enhance the security and range of a
wireless network.
Examples of devices operating on ISM bands are cordless phones, wireless networks, intercoms, Bluetooth devices, security cameras / systems, baby monitors, and game controllers-- in addition, microwave ovens and
certain types of fusion lighting emit energy in the 2.4 GHz range. When installing or trouble-shooting a wireless network that must coexist with potential sources of interference, it is most useful to understand
how these transmissions can affect wireless communication.
Proprietary hardware spectrum analyzers cost many thousands of dollars. But in the world of wireless communication we can solve most problems with less sophisticated (and less
expensive) tools. Our 2.4 GHz spectrum analyzers are modestly priced and offer an unbeatable value. For sensitivity, accuracy and price, no other product comes close.
