    WirelessMon 2.0 Public Beta - Release 6

    *Update 23-May-2006*

    WirelessMon version 2 is now available. Please see http://www.passmark.com/products/wirelessmonitor.htm for more information.

    After a lot of work, we are pleased to announce that a public beta of WirelessMon 2.0 is now available.

    The main new features are;
    • GPS support added
    • A Map tab has been added. You can select an image to display and then click on areas of the image or use GPS co-ordinates to take a sample of SSID strengths. This allows a Wireless coverage map to be generated.
    • Zooming in and out of the map and placing access point icons on the map.
    • Redesigned user interface with new menu and toolbar. The original buttons and configuration tab have been removed, settings can be changed under the configuration menu.
    • Ability to connect to an access point
    • A channel graph showing the channels in use (and potential interference)
    • A count of secure and insecure access points found
    • Re-sizable window

    Please be aware this is a beta version and there are probably still a few bugs, if you have a bug to report or comments to make please email us at help [at] passmark [dot] com. Below are some images from version 2.0.

            Up until the public release of the V2 software, we will be giving out free copies of the final software to anyone who,

            1) Finds a legitimate bug in the beta

            2) E-Mails us a nice looking map (JPG or PNG file) and the saved project file showing wireless network coverage in their local area.
