Honeycomb RF Interference Mapping Software

HoneyComb™ is Tablet UMPC or iPAQ+PC interference-mapping software designed for use with the BumbleBee™ handheld spectrum analyzer or BumbleBee™-TABLET spectrum analyzer systems. It consists of three parts: Projector, Collector, and Analyzer.?Sources of interference can be separated from 802.11 WLAN signals, allowing the user to graph severity of interference, percentage of channel capacity remaining and other significant interference related quantities. HoneyComb™ aids in locating jamming interference, unintentional interference and network intrusion as well as channel verification. HoneyComb™ will also map all likely signal sources and strengths for helping to clear “RF free zones.”?Floorplans or site maps can be used as a reference to collect data leaving the resulting interference maps to be overlayed onto?floorplans for easy identification of interference prone areas.

Honeycomb iPAQ Screen

Honeycomb Collector iPAQ screen

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.

FAQs
What frequencies does Honeycomb analyze?
Honeycomb will work with any frequency that the BubmleBee platform supports. Currently, that includes, 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz and some Wi-MAX frequencies.
Do I have to use my BumbleBee receiver with Honeycomb software?
Yes. Honeycomb software requires calibrated Bumblebee hardware running on both the iPAQ and PC platforms for handheld analysis while still in the field.
