Is there a way using the iPhone SDK to get WiFi information? Things like Signal Strength, WiFi Channel and SSID are the main things I'm looking for.

Only interested in Wifi info, not cellular.

According to this it's actually possible since iOS 4.1.

The function is called: CNCopyCurrentNetworkInfo()

Hope that helps.
