Ramblings of an old Doc

 

Well…not really see, because you cannot see that part of the electro-magnetic spectrum, and not all the wireless signals – only those compiled from several public databases. Still, it’s pretty cool.

You can read about and see it in action in the source article, or just see the video here:

Of course, the distances and strengths of these signals aren’t really measured, just estimated, still it might help you find the Matrix…very cool. The Android app is coming in January.

Wish CarGuy1 would make a Dream out of this one.

I honestly don't see why I would want to stare at that instead of doing something else!

this would be a very valuable tool for troubleshooting IF it were realtime and 100% accurate.

I'll be keeping my eye on this one.

Thanks Doc!

Code an app to do that, Phoon.

It really could be helpful in placement of routers/multipliers.

If you're concerned about wireless congestion, install Acrylic's WiFi Scanner and Analyzer on a wireless PC/laptop, fire it up, and take a look! No, I'm not affiliated with them in any way: https://www.acrylicwifi.com/en/wlan-software/wlan-scanner-acrylic-wifi-free/

Looks pretty cool to me. Might give it a go.
