Why doesn't SonosNet appear on wi-fi detectors

I've used InSSIder to look at wireless signals near me and it only detects a SonosNet signal if the Sonos controller (CR100) is on.

When the controller goes to sleep the SonosNet signal disappears off InSSIDer despite music still being played.

Why doesn't InSSIDer pick up the SonosNet signal ?

Is there another wifi detector that would see it ?

Would something like Wi-Spy see it ?

    Using Wifi Analyzer on my Android, I can see the SONOS units. (After enabling the SonosNet connection).
