Consultants can provide wireless survey systems to validate installations or identify issues through interference identification whilst experienced architects can recommend the most appropriate wireless technology for addressing based on specific requirements should the network need to support high density, ease of management or device reporting.
Real Time Location Services
Coupled with wireless technologies, Real Time Location Services (RTLS) is a powerful tool in any organisation where tracking high value assets, people, environment aspects (temperature, noise, etc.) or delivering targeted information are important. Our consulting teams can recommend usage models and technical approach.
