Product Description Transform a smartphone or tablet into a dual band spectrum analyser (2.4 and 5 GHz). This portable tool is the ideal solution for field techs and wireless professionals. Oscium’s WiPry 5x visualizes all spectral activity on both 2.4 and 5 GHz. Now it is possible to identify and avoid interference so wireless connectivity can be optimized. Oscium’s WiPry 5x is compatible with iOS and Android. This cross platform solution is perfectly portable as are all Oscium’s tools. And now, it is possible to use whichever host device you prefer. The 2.4 GHz band is a busy place today and soon 5 GHz will be congested as well. That's why WiPry 5x supports both bands. Wireless internet operates in this range as does other electronic devices such as baby monitors, cordless phones, garage door openers, and microwave ovens. Since Wi-Fi can extend the length of a football field on 2.4 GHz, devices in nearby buildings or residences can also cause interference. With WiPry 5x, you can pinpoint the source of your noise and get the most out of your wireless internet regardless of the complexity of your environment. WiPry 5x visualizes all wireless activity on both 2.4 and 5 GHz. Measurement settings include 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, 802.11ac and 802.15.4 (ZigBee). SSID-specific activity is also available. Oscium provides a professional Wi-Fi tool that is now available in the Apple App Store and Google Play. Visualize your network like never before: on your favorited smartphone or tablet. The following Wi-Fi standards are supported: 802.11 b/g/n/ac. The ZigBee protocol (802.11.15.4) is also possible to view through our built-in channel guide, making it the ideal tool to troubleshoot home security and home automation. WiPry 5x also provides visibility on all wireless transmissions such as baby monitors, cordless phones, garage door openers, and microwave ovens. Oscium features include the ability to grade channels (using A through F, just like in school!) Box Contains WiPry 5x Spectrum Analyser Hardware; Dual Band Antenna (2.4 & 5 GHz); Mini-B to Lightning Connector Cable; Mini-B to USB A; Velcro (Hook & Loop); Ruggedized Carry Case

It works, but is overpriced and slow on 5Ghz
3* due to what you get for what you pay.I have used the 2.4Ghz only version of this before (which is good) and bought this with the expectation that my experience would be the same. This is not the case.When scanning on 5Ghz, the refresh rate is so slow, it’s impossible to gather any accurate information. Which defeats the point. I thought this was due to it running on a phone. The performance was still slow on a Windows laptop.If you’re testing RSSI (measuring dBm) you have to wait a few seconds each time you want a result and have to wait for a few refresh cycles to confirm the reading is stable/correct. This is fine in your own home. But not if you’re gathering data for an install in let’s say a multi storey office.The app is functional, but not fantastic. There is limited reporting functionality and the interface could be better. It’s also crashed a few times on me.Worth pointing out that there are the following cables included: “USB A - mini USB”, “lightning - mini USB” and “micro USB - mini USB”I’m still going to keep it as it does technically work and is useful due to portability. It’s just not as responsive or a good as something like a “WiSpy DBx + Chanalyzer” or “Ekahau’s ESS + SideKick” but I guess you get what you pay for.
