In this Networld+Interop trade show interview I visit with Ryan Woodings, founder and ‘Chief Geek’ at MetaGeek of Boise, Idaho. MetaGeek is an impressively bootstrapped wireless instrumentation startup founded by former Cypress Semiconductor employees in Boise Idaho. They have created a product line of innovative, impressive, low-cost, portable “micro spectrum analyzers” for use on the Wi-Fi and cellular ISM (Instrumentation, Scientific, and Medical) bands at 900MHz, 2.5 and 5GHz unlicensed Microwave spectrum.
MetaGeeks’ 2.5GHz Wi-Fi products start at $99.95, including their impressive 3D spectrum analysis software. No, this is not an HP or Tektronix spectrum analyzer; however it can be a very nifty tool fitting much of the “80/20″ work encountered in the field, surveying Wi-Fi sites, etc.
I take a closer look at MetaGeek’s products, and at the Company in this video interview:
