Nectar Spectrum
Analysis PC Software
Nectar™
is a Windows® XP software application that scans and monitors a
variety of wireless networks. Nectar™
utilizes the BumbleBee™ Receiver Module to continuously scan BumbleBee™
frequency bands 900 MHz, 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, 2.4, 4.9 and 5 GHz or even
BumbleBee Wi-MAX frequencies. Users must specify the desired RF
frequency models when ordering. Current BumbleBee™ customers may use
their receivers with the Pollenator™ PC interface with
Nectar™ software. User selectable
channel, preset and log settings ensure that
Nectar™ software is able to distinguish your network's signal
strength from other networks and sources of RF interference. Laptop or
PC control via USB and ethernet creates customized, time-stamped log
files for true 24/7 monitoring. Recorder spectrum analysis data may be
replayed and reviewed at anytime on a PC. In addition, JPEG/BMP
snapshot features allow users to instant capture waveforms at key
moments for later analysis. Nectar™
software features up to 5 distinct waveform traces (1 live and 4
peak), screen averaging, video smoothing and packet/interference
triggering.

FAQs |
Does Nectar work with 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi
networks?
Nectar is a spectrum analyzer for Wi-Fi frequencies but does not
demodulate 802.11 packets.
Do I have to use my BumbleBee receiver with Nectar software?
No. Nectar software is available now for all BumblBee users but a
Nectar receiver module will soon be released for people who have never
used the BumbleBee. |
