UMPC uses growing: Spectrum Analyzer

While I’ve set up a few wireless networks, I’m certainly no network engineer – however, I think I really do need to treat myself to this Bumblebee Spectrum Analyzer.  Based on a Samsung Q1p and omnidirectional antenna that connects via the CF slot, there are two models covering different frequency ranges.

Both priced at $4,500 each, Model 1 supports 902 to 928MHz, 2.4 to 2.5GHz, and 5.15 to 5.9GHz while Model 2 covers 2.4 to 2.5GHz and 4.9 to 5.9GHz.  They’re capable of measuring many wireless networks and applications:

This isn’t really something I could ever use, but damn it looks cool.
