Signal Hound Announces Advanced Mapping Tool Kit in Spike Now Available as a Licensed Upgrade
Battle Ground, WA – January 20, 2026 – Signal Hound, a manufacturer of accessible, versatile, precision test equipment, today announced an upgraded Advanced Mapping Tool Kit in its Spike software. This re-engineered licensed software feature enhances all of Spike’s mapping capabilities and provides users with broader insight into wireless infrastructure and connectivity reliability. The update includes optimizations designed for public safety, mobile surveying, and network testing applications.
“Signal Hound is taking a significant step forward with these upgraded mapping features in Spike,” said AJ Montgomery, Senior Software Engineer at Signal Hound. “The wireless spectrum is often highly congested. Having a clear picture of potential issues is critical, especially for essential frequencies. This new mapping tool kit license gives engineers and technicians access to survey data that helps mitigate interference and ensure reliable spectrum access.”
Customer feedback and evolving market needs played a major role in the development of this upgrade. This update continues Signal Hound’s recent shift toward offering licensed software features across phase noise, wireless measurement, and mapping capabilities. While Spike continues to provide free, powerful analysis tools for industry-standard measurements, licensed options now deliver enterprise-grade functionality for advanced use cases.

- Report generation
- Heat mapping
