MetaGeek’s Wi-Spy might fit in your pocket, but this portable USB spectrum analyzer is loaded with big-time performance. The high-resolution and enhanced amplitude range make the Wi-Spy even easier for you to identify interference in the 900 MHz, 2.4 GHz, or 5 GHz public ISM bands. With MetaGeek’s compact spectrum analyzer, you can save time and money while installing, troubleshooting and managing your wireless networks.

Reviews
It’s a very cool and useful product that any network engineer must have.
-ZDNet
We used the Wi-Spy DBx extensively across various venues as it was used to identify unauthorized access points and to map out our internal Wi-Fi coverage. It’s a great tool that helps us trouble shoot more accurately and quickly! The Wi-Spy units work extremely well. I would use them at other large events, and all members of my staff really enjoyed having them in our “tool kit.”

In 16 years of building and analyzing wireless networks, Wi-Spy is the best ‘bang-for-the-buck’ I’ve seen.
- Matt Wheeler, Indigo Networks
MetaGeek’s $599 Wi-Spy DBx spectrum analyzer is a powerful and easy-to-use tool that lets you see the encumbering effects of other wireless networks and devices in your airspace.
- Joseph Moran, Wi-Fi Planet
The DBx is the first Wi-Spy product to cover the 5 GHz (5150-5850 MHz.) bands, which are of increasing importance with 802.11n deployments and the availability of low-cost dual-band Wi-Fi access points and adapters. The DBx is very easy to use – install the Chanalyzer software from the Web, insert the dongle, and you’re off.
- Craig Matthias, Network World
The right answer for small companies looking for an additional tool in the belt or large companies looking to develop a specific platform that requires spectrum analytics.
- Andrew Garcia, eWeek
Chanalyzer, Spectrum Analysis Software
Chanalyzer turns data collected from a Wi-Spy into highly interactive charts and graphs, allowing users to “visualize” their wireless landscape. Together, Wi-Spy and Chanalyzer enable both enterprise and small business users to visualize, troubleshoot, and optimize their wireless networks.
Chanalyzer is nicely laid out and very easy to use and understand –
even for non-engineers.
