IIRC what you're looking for is called Air Magnet - we had a fellow in to do a wireless survey of our area for mapping best placement for WAPs when we upgrade, and the software he was using did exactly that, and he said it cost something like US$18k. He had it installed on a nice tablet PC, and I wandered around our building with him for a day while he mapped it all out. He had a Cisco WAP attached to a large battery pack that we installed in the ceiling at various points. It produced some really nice graphics, and even detected interference from our microwave ovens in the lunch room, and characterized and mapped them accurately. Incredibly nifty, but the IT director just can't seem to fit it into his budget for me to play with it. :) Kurt On Wed, Apr 16, 2008 at 8:41 AM, Charles Hardin <fonestorm () gmail com> wrote:
A co-worker of mine was recently telling me of a tool he had seen several years ago. A utility where you could upload a floor plan of your building and specify where your access points are located. You could then walk around your perimeter with a wireless client with an agent on it that would allow you to marcate the physical boundries of where you want the wireless signal to reach and it would reject clients outside this range based on the signal. Has anyone ever heard of anything remotely like this?
