IWS Episode 23 – What’s on the Bench?

Links to all of the interesting things we were talking about!

• Milesight LoRaWan Field Tester – https://www.milesight.com/product/accessories/ft101
  • The Milesight Field Tester FT101 is the ultimate companion for signal assessment and optimization in LoRaWAN® networks. Featuring a 5.72-inch HD touch screen, it provides real-time network signal testing and analysis at your fingertips, making it easier to deploy and manage LoRaWAN® devices.

• Heltec Wi-Fi HaLow Dongle v2 – https://heltec.org/project/ht-hd01/
  • A long-range communicator based on Wi-Fi HaLow, the communication range is 1–2 km. It can be used to extend the coverage of traditional networks through bridging, to set up LAN, or to serve as an IoT protocol. Pair two devices for use, or work with the HaLow gateway.

• Epitiro – https://www.epitiro.com/wi-fi-7-capable-agent/
  • Ensuring better internet today and tomorrow. Wi-Fi 7 is on its way. If you’re looking to monitor your current and future internet performance, get ahead of the curve with our new 6177 agent. Our new agent ensures you can reliably monitor, test and remotely troubleshoot your existing Wi-Fi networks and any upgraded or future Wi-Fi 6, 6E, or 7 network. This means you can confidently deploy our best-in-class monitoring solution knowing your investment is futureproofed to work today and for years to come.

• WLAN Pi – https://www.wlanpi.com/
  • It all began with an idea. Then a community of wireless engineers formed to create an affordable tool tailored to the every day needs of someone in Wi-Fi.

• Sidos Wave – https://www.sidos.com/sidos-wave/
  • Introducing Sidos Wave, the most advanced and accurate Wi-Fi measurement device on the market. The Wave is rugged, blazing fast, lightweight, and capable of performing high-precision surveys across 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands.

• Blitzfunk Wireless – https://fuenfeinhalb.de/en/products#W10=
  • Conventional Wi-Fi was designed for people, not for machines. When multiple wireless devices are involved and movement occurs, delays can bring systems to a halt.
  • For industrial control systems, the maximum latency and minimum data rate in the worst case are what matter — not just the advertised best values. We promise nothing we cannot uphold in 99.9999% of cases.

• NetAlly Cyberscope Air – https://cyberscope.netally.com/products/cyberscope-air
  • CyberScope Air enables SecOps or NetOps teams to discover, validate, and scan edge infrastructure and IoT, OT, and ICS devices whether WiFi or Bluetooth/BLE. Assessing cybersecurity posture of WLANs against policies, generating reports, and performing ongoing monitoring for changes has never been easier.

• NetAlly LinkRunner 4000 – https://www.netally.com/products/linkrunner-4000/
  • The LinkRunner AT 4000 is a cutting-edge network cable tester for modern networking tasks and infrastructural diagnostics. Designed for network engineers requiring a robust toolset for both fiber and Multigigabit Ethernet environments

• NetAlly Test Accessory – https://www.netally.com/products/testaccessory/
  • This portable iPerf tool allows you to proactively validate network performance conveniently, even when infrastructure accessibility is limited. It accomplishes the same network port tests as LinkSprinter and seamlessly reports back to Link-Live.

• Air Console – https://www.get-console.com/shop/en/27-airconsole
  • Airconsole is our popular portable, battery powered, RS232 Serial over WIFI and/or BT Adaptor. Designed to be seamlessly used with Mobile Apps on iOS, Android and also on PC, MAC OSX and Linux, Airconsole provides flexible and convenient access to physical Serial and Ethernet ports from devices (such as iPads and iPhones) that have only WIFI or BT interfaces.

• IP Explorer – https://plctools.com/products/sim-ipe
  • Discover unknown IP addresses, assign an IP address via BOOTP or DHCP, and set to static or change the IP address of Ethernet/IP enabled devices.
  • It replaces your computer based BOOTP/DHCP Server and will quickly assign any IP address to any industrial BOOTP or DHCP enabled control device, like Programmable Controller, PLC communication modules, smart switches and I/O adapters.
  • This is not a port scanner that chokes networks.  It actively listens to network traffic to discover devices by looking for EtherNet/IP, Profinet, GigE,  ARP, and other discoverable packets.  If a device sits silently on the network, it will not be discovered.
  • It works with many brands of Ethernet devices including Allen Bradley and Siemens.  We do not have a comprehensive list of brands that it works with.  DHCP and BOOTP assignment will always work, IP discovery works with popular devices, and Set to Static and Change Static IP require that the device be Ethernet/IP compliant.

• WiFi Explorer – https://www.intuitibits.com/products/wifiexplorer/
  • Determine a better placement for your access point, identify channel conflicts or troubleshoot configuration issues that may affect your Wi-Fi network’s connectivity and performance.

• WLPC – https://www.thewlpc.com/
  • WLPC is all about the people. Whether you’re just starting your career in WLAN technologies or you’ve been in the field for decades, we would love to see you at one of our upcoming events.
  • #WLPC is a vendor-neutral event, free of sales pitches, where Wi-Fi enthusiasts gather to discuss technology, share knowledge, and engage in one of the best tech communities in the world. Each event offers multiple ways to learn and grow your skills and knowledge through Boot Camps, Deep Dives, and Presentations, along with valuable connections and learning that happen over meals, drinks, and in the hallways.

• Wi-Co – https://wi-co.org/
  • Wi-Co, short for Wireless Community, is the brainchild of Peter Mackenzie and Alan Blake, on a mission to make the Wireless Community party like it’s 1999 (but without the B rates).
  • Their strategy? Well, it’s all about “bringing the herd together” by organising Affordable, Accessible, Local Events, all over the world,  where knowledge is shared.
  • They’ve got the leading technology companies in on the action too! With the help of these benevolent backers, Wi-Co ensures that their events are not just Wireless strong but also financially fit.
