Intensified A weblog about wireless, security and geekdom

Wireless Field Day 1

I am lucky enough to be a delegate at the Wireless Field Day in San Jose this week hosted by Gestalt IT. We are seeing presentations from Cisco, HP, Aerohive, Metageeks, and Fluke. This is a great opportunity to be with the best folks the Wireless industry has to offer. 3D social networking as well as great information from the vendors.

Our gracious host, the classiest man in IT, Stephen Foskett:

The Wrap up:

Day 1:
Metageek: After a night of networking, belly dancing and great food, the fine folks at MetaGeek have given us their entire suite of products, including new WiSpy DBXs! Great way to start the week! From the humble beginnings of Ryan Woodings, Chief Geek and founder hacking the firmware of a mouse dongle, to one of the best, most affordable spectrum analyzers on the market.

Their device finder was actually used to find a surveillance camera and solve a murder! What a great company and product.

Cisco: The building is not actually teal.  We are in the famous (from every screenshot for Cisco wireless gear) building 14.  A lot of review and of wireless basics started the session.  Now getting into the silicon level and the CleanAir ASIC istelf.  It contains 4 separate components.  The CPU, the SAGE, the WiFi chipset and a DSP for quantifying the interference type.  Cisco speak is that having these as seperate components on dye, they get more granular detail.
