I know this may be a little off topic, however I know there are many wireless operators on list. I'm wondering what you use to track wireless signal from a base station to see what the footprint is.
I.e. I would like to drive around down all the streets where this hotspot is located to plot a map of what signal strength is like in this location for a specific AP, I will circle the streets around the AP until I've lost all signal and hope to have some sort of map to work with :)
Earlier this year NetworkWorld reviewed some low-cost wireless spectrum analyzers, including the Wi-Spy device that Andy mentioned. http://www.networkworld.com/reviews/2009/032309-wlan-test.html Cheers Ben Stasiewicz
