I like the capabilities for scanning the spectrums in portions instead of filling the whole screen
Wireless scanning, mapping, and troubleshooting. Spectrum XT continues to help with interference issues in the factory environment. Having multiple systems factory/IR/RF/Microwave and LMR is challenging to keep everything working together I've been able to diagnose trouble areas in the factory…

A small, convenient tool that is very stable, but needs to have a longer battery life
They could make it easier to set up originally, because the initial setup can be quite hit and miss. It is also quite battery intensive, so it might last a bit longer if it had a lithium battery. You're always having to replace the batteries, so it would be good if it could be USB-charged or something like that.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I can determine precise placement of APs to satisfy customers’ needs for data, voice, or location."
"If you're having multiple issues, I'd recommend this to people, and in the long run, it's worth the cost not having to wait for a vendor to make it out during an outage or intermittent time of issues."
"I think two of the products that we use in the suite are really, really, really solid."
"The solution provides switch port and VLAN information."
"The tool fits in your pocket, so it's easy to carry and you don't have to have a big bag of tools."
 

Cons

"Connections from the antenna to the main unit are not efficient to connect and disconnect. Also, not thought out for placement of the cable between the unit and antenna to not catch the things disconnecting it during use."
"On the version I use, there are some bugs that are probably resolved in the latest version."
"Not being able to accurately predict interference and then engineer or react accordingly does cost us money."
"They could make it easier to set up originally, because the initial setup can be quite hit and miss."
"The solution should improve cable testing."
