Overview
The Cascoda IEEE 802.15.4 Packet Sniffer is a tool for capturing IEEE 802.15.4 traffic; used by Thread; KNX-IoT; Zigbee and more. It is ideal for analyzing network problems; learning about IoT protocols and debugging IoT applications. Thanks to our industry leading receive sensitivity; even the faintest packets can be captured; ensuring an accurate picture of the behaviour of the network.
The tool works with Wireshark; the world’s most popular network analyzer; and can be used with existing Wireshark installations.
