INTRODUCTION

The YellowjacketPLUS™ is an 802.11a Analysis System. It
consists of an HP iPAQ PocketPC® integrated with custom
hardware and software by BVS. This system contains a variety
of features to analyze 802.11a networks including spectrum
analysis over all 8 channels (5 GHz), a list of AP's and/or sta-
tions over all 8 channels and other data for each individual
MAC address. The YellowjacketPLUS also contains a "Geiger-
counter" feature to locate a single AP/ STAtion via audio/visual
aids and a security feature to warn the user of possible unau-
thorized AP/ STAtions in the area based on a list of authorized
MAC addresses. The data from a YellowjacketPLUS may be
logged into resident memory for transfer to a desktop PC at
a later time and then be converted from binary to ASCII using
"Chameleon WLAN".
