Nectar Spectrum Analysis PC Software

Nectar™ is a Windows® XP software application that scans and monitors a variety of wireless networks. Nectar™ utilizes the BumbleBee™ Receiver Module to continuously scan BumbleBee™ frequency bands 900 MHz, 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, 2.4, 4.9 and 5 GHz or even BumbleBee Wi-MAX frequencies. Users must specify the desired RF frequency models when ordering. Current BumbleBee™ customers may use their receivers with the Pollenator™ PC interface with Nectar™ software. User selectable channel, preset and log settings ensure that Nectar™ software is able to distinguish your network's signal strength from other networks and sources of RF interference. Laptop or PC control via USB and ethernet creates customized, time-stamped log files for true 24/7 monitoring. Recorder spectrum analysis data may be replayed and reviewed at anytime on a PC. In addition, JPEG/BMP snapshot features allow users to instant capture waveforms at key moments for later analysis. Nectar™ software features up to 5 distinct waveform traces (1 live and 4 peak), screen averaging, video smoothing and packet/interference triggering.

FAQs
Does Nectar work with 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi networks?
Nectar is a spectrum analyzer for Wi-Fi frequencies but does not demodulate 802.11 packets.
Do I have to use my BumbleBee receiver with Nectar software?
No. Nectar software is available now for all BumblBee users but a Nectar receiver module will soon be released for people who have never used the BumbleBee.
