Craig Matthias, who has written reviews in the past on Wi-Spy, delved into a comparison of the different spectrum analyzers on the market in Network World's latest installment of WLAN magnagement tips. Wi-Spy DBx was compared in the mix of Cisco, Fluke, AirMagnet, BVS and Nuts About Nets products and recieved good marks. But don't take our word for it, read it for yourself.

Glenn Fleischman explains in his Ars Technica article the affordable ways of understanding the airspace around your wireless networks. One of the products featured in the article is Wi-Spy DBx and it's dual band ability to find interference beyond Wi-Fi. Thanks Glenn!

We got word from our buddies at Visiwave that Wi-Spy DBx has been integrated for use into their Site Survey software with great success. So, now you can analyze RF interference locations for the 802.11a/n spectrum just like the 802.11b/g spectrum that VisiWave has long supported.

Along with fixing some lingering compatibility issues with Windows Vista, we added "Channel View" which helps you see how the different WLANs in the area overlap. Check it out: http://metageek.net/products/inssider
