We are super excited to announce a new release of our Eye P.A. visual Wi-Fi packet analytics platform!

With Eye P.A. 2.1, you can quickly perform multi-channel 802.11ac packet capture and analysis utilizing supported wireless adapters! We’ve also added beta support for .pcap/.pcapng files captured from a variety of supported enterprise access points (Cisco, Meraki, Ruckus, Aruba, AeroHive).

Multi-channel and expanded .pcap/.pcapng support have been the most-requested features in Eye P.A., by far. We hope you’ll love the update and please keep sending us your requests. We love the feedback!
