BeeKeeper 802.11b Wi-Fi Analysis PC Software

BeeKeeper™ is a Windows® XP software application that graphically & textually scans, monitors and logs all 2.4 GHz 802.11b Wi-Fi networks. BeeKeeper™ utilizes the BeeKeeper™ Receiver Module monitoring all 14 DSSS network channels as well as MAC, SSID, AP manufacturer, SNR, data rate and RSSI signal levels of any access point or NIC. Yellowjacket® users may use their 802.11b receivers with the Pollenator™ PC interface with BeeKeeper™ software. User selectable scanning and log settings ensure that BeeKeeper™ will identify any unauthorized MAC and notifies the user instantly with audible and email alerts and time-stamped log file onto any desktop or laptop PC. Vital RF data is captured, logged (24/7) and may be used to identify neighboring 2.4 GHz interference, WLAN interference and even nearby client cards trying to wirelessly “hack” into the network. In addition, APs can be traced from local NICs in ad-hoc mode they are connected to allowing users to view the network transparently. Unlike NIC based analyzers, BeeKeeper™ is a passive, network independent hardware & software package with the ability to see the “whole picture” wirelessly without being seen or detected by anyone on or off the network. BeeKeeper™ software is controllable via any PC’s serial or ethernet port allowing RF surveys to be performed all from your desk.

FAQs
Does BeeKeeper work with 802.11a and 802.11g networks?
BeeKeeper is designed to work with BVS' 802.11b receiver but future releases will support 802.11a, 802.11g and more..
Can I use my own NIC with BeeKeeper software?
No. BeeKeeper only works with a precision calibrated receiver. There are no NIC cards sensitive enough for accurate measurments that BeeKeeper provides.
