# Survey Hardware

To perform site surveys, Hamina Onsite needs access to site survey hardware to gather Wi-Fi measurements.

## Survey Devices

Surveys can be performed with a [Hamina Clip](/hamina/onsite/hardware/clip.md), an [Oscium Nomad](/hamina/onsite/hardware/oscium-nomad.md), [WLAN Pi](/hamina/onsite/hardware/wlan-pi.md), or with the built-in Wi-Fi adapter on an [Apple Silicon Macbook](#apple-silicon-macbook).

### Apple Silicon MacBook

It is possible to use Hamina Onsite for macOS without external survey hardware; a MacBook Wi-Fi adapter can be used for measurements, directly. The downside is that one adapter takes a very long time to sweep through all of the Wi-Fi channels, so measurements take considerably longer and are spaced further apart while walking. Because of this, we only recommend surveying with a MacBook Wi-Fi adapter when absolutely necessary.

## Spectrum Analyzers

A USB spectrum analyzer can be connected to the Oscium Nomad to enable:

* Live spectrum analysis in the **Analysis** view.
* Recorded spectrum analysis during a site survey.

All three supported models support 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz.

* **NetAlly NXT-2000**: Has the highest sweep rate and resolution. During a site survey, it can record 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz simultaneously, but bands can optionally be deselected as desired. *<mark style="color:blue;background-color:blue;">Note: Support for the NetAlly NXT-2000 is provided on a best-effort basis.</mark>*
* **Oscium Wi-Spy Lucid**: Has a higher sweep rate than the WiPry Clarity. During a site survey, it can record one frequency band at a time. The band can be changed between site survey sessions in the project, e.g. between surveys or when switching the survey type.
* **Oscium WiPry Clarity**: During a site survey, it can record one frequency band at a time. The band can be changed between site survey sessions in the project, e.g. between surveys or when switching the survey type.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.hamina.com/hamina/onsite/hardware.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
