[c-nsp] Wireless LAN survey tool

[Vikas Sharma]

Hi Richard,

Thanks for the reply.

I have a greenfield project and I have to design the access points etc. Thus
I wanted to understand which tool is best for site survey so that we can
avoid interference etc. We are planning for 802.11 g as it will give more
channels and good enough for Voice/video/data over wireless.

Pls suggest.

Regards
Vikas Saarma
