As a sniffer, fieldPal™ captures legacy 802.11abgnac as well as 802.11ax OFDMA (orthogonal frequency-division multiple access) packets to Wireshark.

fieldPal also serves as the capture engine for octoScope’s Tracker™ field-to-lab solution.

fieldPal offers insightful visualization of OFDMA performance as well as KPI plots including basic per RU (resource unit) per packet metrics such as RSSI (received signal strength indicator), Nss (number of spatial streams), bandwidth, data rate and MCS (modulation and coding scheme), and others.
