    As far as i know this cant be done using public API’s. You need to use private API’s check thi s out MobileApple80211 framework.

    Yes it is possible. In fact there is an awesome 3rd Party library for this called iPhone-Wireless

    This provides you –

    1. view the wireless networks in your area.
    2. signal strength of each network.

    For iOS 5 you’ll need a jailbroken iPhone. Guvener Gokce has a very educational blog post on this: iPhone Wireless Scanner iOS5

    Hope this helps but keep in mind that this library uses private API’s and your app might get rejected from app store.
