Useful for surveying
Authored by: st3phen on Jul 02, '02 12:25:22PM
I have found MacStumbler useful while doing surveys for determining optimum Airport Base Station (and Avaya) access points. I can't find another application (not on a Windows laptop) that actually gives me numeric readouts of signal and noise. Imagine that! The bars on the Airport menu item are not suitable for doing a survey!

After the installation is complete, it is useful to determine level of coverage on a campus. This is important if the school has contracted for 100& 11Mb coverage.

I have told everyone else in my division about it and we all use it.
