Drone GPS Wi-Fi Mapping Coverage Software

Drone™ combines the power of realtime Yellowjacket® Wi-Fi measurements with GPS geo-coding accuracy. Create your survey bitmap with PROJECTOR. Next, simply walk or drive to any spot with GPS reception while Drone™ COLLECTOR automatically scans all 802.11b/g channels and correlates them to your exact location in realtime. Drone™ only needs a few reference points to fill in the locations for the rest making it effective for quick outdoor studies. GPS measurements provide both LAT and LON as well as time stamping for a complete Wi-Fi survey path anywhere in the world. Drone™ allows JPEG screen snapshots to be taken at particular points of interest throughout the survey. Survey data such as RSSI, MAC and SSID may be exported into Drone's ANALYZER for further mapping coverage studies in multiple graphical and tabular layouts. Surveys may be exported further into KML files for plotting in applications such as Google Earth™.

Collector is an application in Drone that runs on the Pocket PC platform. When used in conjunction with Yellowjacket or Yellowjacket PLUS,Collector allows for precise surveys inside or around any structure without any use of GPS receivers. Once this data is captured onto the Yellowjacket's iPAQ, it is then exported to a PC for further analysis.
