CT Scanners are a pretty impressive looking bit of clinical technology. At what must be an anxious time for patients, it's nice to see how the hospitals are working hard to make a nicer environment for patients.

Wi-Fi Design has a lot of variables to be taken into account. In this first part of a two part series, I'll open our treasure chest of important information for a Wi-Fi design - the business requirements.

One of the common questions I get surrounds the use of Wi-Fi 6 and 5G. Both Wi-Fi 6 and 5G now promise users much higher download speeds and a much more interactive user experience thanks to this. Why then don’t we all just abandon Wi-Fi 6 and use 5G – especially in the corporate environment, where there are internal costs for deploying a wireless LAN.

Wi-Fi design is a complex business. We have to take into account a lot of information to ensure the design is correct. In this second part of the Wi-Fi Design series, let's take a look at the Technical Requirements.

Wi-Fi Troubleshooting is a specialist networking discipline all of its own. Over the years we have dealt with a large amount of bugs in controller code, old drivers on devices, chipsets that can’t roam properly, interference, rogue APs causing interference, incorrectly configured equipment and so on – the list of possible reasons for faults is a long[…]

Elastic Wi-Fi. It’s probably not a term you’ve heard before in relation to wireless and Wi-Fi. I’m going to run through some principles I’ve learnt over a few years in the business to help you improve Wi-Fi performance, but first, I’ll digress...

This week, I wanted to look at what it takes to build a clinical grade Wi-Fi network. We've worked on and upgraded lots of hospitals that just didn't have a fit for purpose Wi-Fi network. Building Wi-Fi in hospitals is unique - there are lots of use cases, critical reliance on the technology and the building fabric is often different throughout the[…]

Real Time Location Services (or RTLS for short) describes a range of technologies used to track and locate people and equipment. Often there is a task / messaging engine overlaid, in order to bring the technology to life and integrate it into the operational processes. In this blog, we'll take a look at the Call Assist use case.

Wi-Fi Pre-Deployment Surveys (also known as AP-on-a-stick surveys) are an integral part of the process of undertaking a wireless design that actually works.

Friend and colleague, George Stefanick is will known in Wi-Fi circles. George has provided us with a pretty concise list of a lot of the gotchas in Wi-Fi design - have a read of the full blog for an interesting walk through George's Top 30 Technical Wi-Fi thoughts.
