Quick Wireless Solutions for Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) here.
Eighty percent of wireless data traffic originates or terminates within a building, and yet today’s typical building still experiences very poor wireless connectivity. This can result in lower business productivity, decreased customer satisfaction, and a major safety risk. That’s why the technological infrastructure to enable a variety of wireless applications in your building should be a priority. There are three core strategies to think about:
Cellular
Enabling people to operate their wireless voice and data devices seamlessly in your building.
Public Safety
Ensuring anyone can call 911 from their cell phone, first responders can communicate anywhere in your building, and mass notifications can be received quickly.
Private Wireless Networks
Giving you the ability to control your building’s mission-critical functions using a secure network.
