A brand-new application is AirMedic, a simplified spectrum analyzer for fast, basic analysis of radio behaviors. The software, developed with Intel, runs on a laptop with a Centrino 2 wireless adapter, converting it into a spectrum analyzer for scanning WLAN radio activity on both the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands. It can display plots that show RF energy emissions, along with corresponding access point channel assignments and signal strength. The displays can show RF interference, high error rates, and so on, helping users to distinguish between radio problems and Wi-Fi configuration problems.

AirMedic is available now, priced at $995.
