BumbleBee Public Safety Band Spectrum Analyzer
BumbleBee™ is a precision calibrated spectrum analyzer that interfaces with HP’s iPAQ® PocketPC®. The handheld receiver measures combinations of distinct wireless bands in three different models: 2.4 GHz, 4.9 Ghz and even 5.8 GHz. BumbleBee™ allows the user to capture, display and record each of these bands for network installation, coverage and interference analysis. The iPAQ’s touch screen allows field engineers to tap on points of interest in the waveform and “zoom” in for further analysis. Advanced spectrum analysis features include 3 waveform traces, peak hold, peak search, and user selectable power triggers. Bumble Bee™ allows for on-the-fly switching of bands for realtime spectral analysis of many wireless standards including 802.11(b,a,g & Bluetooth), cordless phones/video & public safety data networks. Bumble Bee™ does the job of multiple wireless test instruments all in the palm of your hand.

The BumbleBee is a software
application for PocketPC® that displays, records and logs
all WLAN data received by the BumbleBee™
on the iPAQ® PocketPC® PDA. The software allows complete
control of the BumbleBee spectrum analyzer. Data can be saved
on the iPAQ for later conversion.
