Very cool tools. I'm seriously considering getting a wi-fi only Samsung Galaxy Tablet when it releases this quarter and using it with this software. I'd be interested in hearing from anyone that has used their products. -- Ron Parker, Director of Information Technology, Brazosport College Lake Jackson, Texas http://www.brazosport.edu KE5RON From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Rick Brown Sent: Friday, January 21, 2011 12:29 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Site survey tools We have been using Motion Computing Tablet PC's with Cisco's CB21 wireless adapter card and the Site Survey Utility for conducting manual site surveys. Originally we had found that due to the nature of the buildings on our campus that a manual survey was much faster than using any of the predictive software such as AirMagnet and Siteplanner. We are starting to see problems with the older tablets. Replacing them doesn't seem to be an option since most tablets aren't coming with PCMCIA slots anymore. We've looked at the Fluke AirCheck meters but they tend to show RSSI anywhere from 10dbm to 20dbm better signal than what it really is. Are any of you still doing manual surveys? And what equipment and app are you using to read signal levels, etc.? Thanks!
