WirelessMon 2.0 software quickly identifies and tracks wireless networks, including unsecured access points and channel usage. Professionals can create a coverage map manually or with GPS, making it easy to track wireless networks.
One of the most impressive features of WirelessMon - 0 is its live ‘channel usage’ chart that provides information on the level of traffic for each available channel. This information is invaluable for network managers as it assists in indicating channels that could be used to reduce interference and improve throughput.
In addition, WirelessMon - 0 Professional Edition provides an additional bonus feature of generating ‘coverage maps’ based on the signal strength of all detected APs. To use this feature, users need to import a map created by another application (e.g., scanning). Once the map is loaded, users can either plot points manually on the map or use a Global Positioning System (GPS) device.
If users choose to plot manually, they can select a point on the map, and the program automatically stores information on every AP it can detect there. On the other hand, GPS users need to establish two reference points, and then the software will detect their location on the map and store the AP information for each point.
Network managers, laptop users, and wardrivers will all find WirelessMon - 0 to be the perfect tool for their wireless network requirements. With its many features and capabilities, the software provides an excellent experience for anyone who needs to monitor and manage a wireless network.
