An Intermec WLAN Site Survey determines the optimal number, placement, and configuration of access point to provide the required radio frequency (RF) coverage in the desired areas of your facility. While it is true that many of today’s access points and other components of the wireless infrastructure are close to being “plug and play”, and will work adequately “out of the box” in very simple, RF interference-free environments, it is also true that in today’s world, there are very few RF interference-free environments! There is only one way to be sure that what you want is what you will get – a guaranteed-results Intermec WLAN Site Survey. And if your critical business activities depend on the integrity of the performance and coverage of your wireless infrastructure, you need to be sure.

Complex, radio frequency-rich multi-story, multi-building, multi-campus environments such as hospitals, industrial production facilities, retail and office complexes, freight-handling facilities and distribution centers offer particular challenges to the uninterrupted wireless flow of critical data. Who can you trust your operation’s integrity to? Who can provide the level of detail and site engineering skill backing the implementation of the WLAN infrastructure of a critical-care hospital, for example, so that radio waves from a nearby monitor don’t interfere with the transmission of vital records to the attending physician? Or that the RF emissions from an industrial printer, and the density and absorptive properties of the roll of paper don’t “stop the presses”. These are only a couple examples of what can go wrong. Trust Intermec to make it go right.
