AirPcap Nx + CACE Pilot + Wireshark = Triple Threat
CACE Technologies is offering AirPcap Nx bundled with CACE Pilot, our premier network analysis, visualization, and reporting tool. CACE Pilot is the only network analysis product to offer full Wireshark integration, delivering a vast number of capture and display filters for data drill-down, and Wireshark’s prodigious dis­sector library for deep packet analysis. With CACE Pilot/AirPcap Nx bundles, you will have one of the most advanced wireless net­work analysis tools on the market today. Used in conjunction with the AirPcap Nx adapter 3-pack, CACE Pilot can monitor multiple channels simultaneously, significantly increasing your network visibility. CACE Pilot offers a rich set of reporting facilities fully integrated with CACE Pilot Views, enabling you to create profes­sional reports from on-screen displays.
AirPcap Nx and SharkNet™ Support
AirPcap Nx is covered under the CACE SharkNet Support Program umbrella along with Wireshark, CACE Pilot, TurboCap, and all AirPcap adapters. Purchasing Basic or Premium SharkNet provides blanket annual support for all of your CACE tools. This means you buy AirPcap Nx with Sharknet support today, and CACE Pilot sometime during your effective support period, both will be covered under the SharkNet support program. Purchase an AirPcap adapter for use with Wireshark along with Sharknet support, and both AirPcap and Wireshark are covered. Have your support issues quickly addressed, bug fixes accelerated, product application questions answered, and even influence the prioritization of additions to the Wireshark development path through a SharkNet purchase. SharkNet support program information is available at http://www.cacetech.com/support/ sharknet-support.htm.
