We just needed an affordable tool that would do the job at the right price point.

Third Party Apps

We created an amazing spectrum analyzer when we invented Wi-Spy and then we crafted world-class software to make it easy to use, right out of the box. But we can't be everything to everyone... so we left the platform open to encourage innovation.

Below are a few of the great applications that resulted:

Spectrum-Tools

Mike Kershaw, author of Kismet, has developed an open source version of the Wi-Spy software that runs on Linux, BSD, and Mac OS X. This application has most of the features of the original Wi-Spy software for Windows. This software is open source and uses the GTK library (supports Wi-Spy and Wi-Spy 2.4x).

EaKiu

David Cook from Cookware, Inc. has written a very nifty Mac OS X application for Wi-Spy that uses OpenGL to provide interactive 3-D displays as well as the standard spectrum analyzer and spectrogram views (supports Wi-Spy only).

VisiWave

VisiWave Site Survey is an advanced site survey tool that provides data collection and visualization capabilities not found in any other existing product. The VisiWave Site Survey product takes advantage of advanced location tracking technology and combines that with high powered data visualization and reporting capabilities to create a complete wireless LAN site surveying solution (supports Wi-Spy and Wi-Spy 2.4x).
